Secure Vehicle Storage for Shortlands, Bromley
We store cars, vans and motorbikes for customers across Shortlands, running or not. We collect with our own truck, keep the vehicle on our gated yard for as long as you need, and deliver it back when you are ready.

We come to you in Shortlands
Our own truck does the collection in Shortlands, so there is no courier and no third party involved.

Secure Vehicle Storage for Shortlands — FAQs
How secure is your storage yard?
It is a gated commercial yard at Standard Wharf, Erith — the same site our recovery trucks work from, so there is usually someone about. It is not a field or a lock-up.
How quickly can you reach me in Shortlands?
Shortlands is about 9.3 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 30 to 50 minutes, normally coming in via Shortlands Road and Beckenham 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.
Can you collect the car to put it into storage?
Yes. We collect from your address with our own truck and deliver it back when you need it. Non-runners are fine.
Do you cover all of BR2?
Yes — every street in BR2, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Bromley, Beckenham, Downham and Bickley, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
How long can I store a vehicle?
From a few days — for example after an accident while your insurer decides — to months at a time. We charge by the week or the month.
My car won't start at Shortlands station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Shortlands, 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.
Can I get to my vehicle while it is stored?
Yes, by arrangement. Ring ahead and we will make sure it is accessible.
I have broken down on Shortlands 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.
Do I need to tax or insure a stored car?
If it is off the road on private land you can declare it SORN, which means no tax is due. Many owners keep fire and theft cover — check with your insurer.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Shortlands?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Shortlands, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
