Scrap My Car in Wilmington, Dartford
Scrapping a car from Wilmington with us is simple: tell us the registration, agree a price, and choose a collection time. We notify the DVLA and arrange the Certificate of Destruction so you have proof it is gone.
If a car in Wilmington has come to the end — failed its MOT on something structural, been written off, or simply reached the point where the next repair costs more than it is worth — scrapping it should be the easy part. We make it that.
Collection from anywhere in Wilmington
We collect from every street in DA2 with our own truck, at a time agreed with you. Wilmington is about 4.2 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Hawley Road or Common Lane, so same-day and next-day collections are normally easy to arrange. The vehicle does not need to run — non-runners, no-key vehicles and flat tyres are all fine.

Most of our Wilmington scrap collections are from driveways and the street outside, but we also collect from garages, car parks near Dartford Heath and private land. If the car is somewhere tight off Hawley Road, we winch it out.
Landmarks we use to find people in Wilmington include Dartford Heath, Wilmington village and Wilmington Academy, and Dartford station. If you are lost, tell us what you can see and we will work it out together.
Fixed price, agreed before we start
We do not work from a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The vehicle, the collection address, the destination and anything unusual about the job all change the work involved. Ring 07961 100260 with the details and we will give you one fixed price for Wilmington — no extras added on the day. We take card and bank transfer.

Scrap My Car in Wilmington — FAQs
How much will I get for scrapping my car?
It depends mainly on the weight of the vehicle and current metal prices, and whether any parts are reusable. Give us the registration and we will give you a figure on the phone.
How quickly can you reach me in Wilmington?
Wilmington is about 4.2 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 20 to 35 minutes, normally coming in via Hawley Road and Common Lane. Traffic, the time of day and how many jobs are running all move that, so when you ring 07961 100260 we give you a real window for that moment rather than a best case.
What paperwork do I need to scrap a car?
The V5C logbook if you have it, and proof of ID. We notify the DVLA and arrange the Certificate of Destruction, which is your proof the car has been scrapped properly.
Do you cover all of DA2?
Yes — every street in DA2, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Dartford, Crayford, Greenhithe and Slade Green, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Does the car need to be running?
No. It does not need to run, have keys or have inflated tyres — we winch it onto the truck.
My car won't start at Dartford station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Wilmington, usually for a flat battery after the car has sat all day. Tell us which car park and roughly where you are parked. If it has a height barrier or a pay-on-exit gate, mention that too and we will send the right vehicle and sort the exit with you.
When do I get paid?
Before we load the car, by bank transfer.
I have broken down on Hawley Road — what should I do?
Put your hazards on, stay visible and ring 07961 100260. Give us the nearest house number or junction and we will tell you exactly where we will load. If the street is tightly parked we may winch the car out rather than reverse in, so it helps to know how much space there is.
Can I scrap a car without the logbook?
Usually yes, with proof of ownership and ID. Tell us when you ring and we will explain what is needed.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Wilmington?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Wilmington, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
