We Buy Cars in East Croydon, Croydon
We buy vehicles across East Croydon 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 East Croydon 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.
Collection from anywhere in East Croydon
Our own truck does the collection in East Croydon, so there is no courier and no third party involved. East Croydon is about 13.7 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via George Street or Addiscombe Road (A222), 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.

Where we work in East Croydon
Most East Croydon collections are from a driveway or the street outside, but we also collect from garages, car parks and private land — anywhere from Boxpark Croydon to the roads off George Street. No keys, flat tyres or seized brakes are not a problem.
If you stop on Addiscombe Road (the A222), 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: Boxpark Croydon, Fairfield Halls and Ruskin Square, or East Croydon station. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
Honest pricing in East Croydon
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 East Croydon — no extras added on the day. We take card and bank transfer.

We Buy Cars in East Croydon — 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 East Croydon?
East Croydon is about 13.7 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 40 minutes to an hour, normally coming in via George Street and Addiscombe Road (A222). 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 CR0?
Yes — every street in CR0, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Croydon, West Croydon, South Croydon and Addiscombe, 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 East Croydon station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in East Croydon, 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 George Street — 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.
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 East Croydon?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across East Croydon, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
