Secure Vehicle Storage for Swanscombe, Dartford
Our storage yard is the same site our recovery trucks work from, so someone is always about. Customers in Swanscombe use it for accident vehicles awaiting an insurance decision, project cars, seasonal vehicles and trade stock.
We store cars, vans and motorbikes for customers across Swanscombe, 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.
Free collection across DA10
Our own truck does the collection in Swanscombe, so there is no courier and no third party involved. Swanscombe is about 5.7 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via London Road (A226) or Swanscombe High Street, 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.

Local knowledge of Swanscombe
We collect from anywhere in Swanscombe — the street outside, a garage, or a car park near Swanscombe Heritage Park — and bring the vehicle straight to our yard. Delivery back works the same way.
If you stop on London Road (the A226), it is a main road — get the vehicle to the kerb or a side street if it will roll, put the hazards on and wait somewhere safe, not in the car.
If you do not know the street name, a landmark is just as good: Swanscombe Heritage Park, Swanscombe Marshes and Craylands Lane, or Swanscombe station. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
Fixed price, agreed before we start
You will know the cost before we commit to anything. The vehicle, the collection address, the destination and anything unusual about the job all change the work involved. Once we have agreed a figure, that is what you pay — nothing is added afterwards. We take card and bank transfer.

Secure Vehicle Storage for Swanscombe — 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 Swanscombe?
Swanscombe is about 5.7 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 London Road (A226) and Swanscombe High Street. 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 DA10?
Yes — every street in DA10, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Greenhithe, Northfleet, Gravesend and Wilmington, 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 Swanscombe station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Swanscombe, 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 London Road — what should I do?
That is a main road, so safety first: if the car can roll, get it to the kerb or into a side road, switch on your hazards, and wait somewhere safe away from the traffic — not in the car. Then ring 07961 100260. Red routes and bus lanes are enforced quickly, so we prioritise moving vehicles off them.
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 Swanscombe?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Swanscombe, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
