We Buy Cars in Catford, Lewisham
We buy vehicles across Catford every week, often ones other buyers will not touch. Payment goes to you before the car is loaded, and we handle the DVLA notification so you are not left liable.
Selling a car that does not run is usually the hardest part. For sellers in Catford we make it simple: tell us the registration and what is wrong, we give you a price on the phone, and we collect it with our own truck free of charge.
Free collection across SE6
Collection is from your door anywhere in Catford — the driveway, the street outside, a garage or a car park. Catford is about 8.8 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via South Circular (A205) or Rushey Green (A21), 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.

Around Catford: roads, landmarks and stations
Most Catford collections are from a driveway or the street outside, but we also collect from garages, car parks and private land — anywhere from Catford Broadway to the roads off South Circular (A205). No keys, flat tyres or seized brakes are not a problem.
If you stop on South Circular (the A205), 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: Catford Broadway, Catford Cat, Broadway Theatre and Lewisham Town Hall, or the stations at Catford and Catford Bridge. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
What it costs in Catford
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.

We Buy Cars in Catford — FAQs
How do you work out the price for my car?
From the make, model, age, mileage and what is wrong with it. Give us the registration and an honest description and we will give you a price on the phone. If the car matches the description, that is what we pay.
How quickly can you reach me in Catford?
Catford is about 8.8 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 South Circular (A205) and Rushey Green (A21). 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.
Do you buy cars that do not run?
Yes — non-runners, engine and gearbox failures, flood damage, no keys, flat tyres. That is most of what we buy.
Do you cover all of SE6?
Yes — every street in SE6, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Ladywell, Bellingham, Crofton Park and Hither Green, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
How and when do I get paid?
By bank transfer before we load the car, so you never hand it over unpaid.
My car won't start at Catford station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Catford, 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.
What paperwork do I need?
Ideally the V5C logbook and proof of ID. We notify the DVLA of the sale for you, so you are no longer responsible for the vehicle.
I have broken down on South Circular — 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.
Is collection really free?
Yes. We collect with our own truck at no charge, from a driveway, the street, a garage or a car park.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Catford?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Catford, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
