We Buy Cars in South Croydon, Croydon
We buy vehicles across South 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.
If a vehicle in South Croydon has stopped being worth repairing, we will buy it from you. Engine and gearbox failures, accident damage, MOT failures with a big bill attached, cars that have sat on the drive for years — all of it.
We come to you in South Croydon
Our own truck does the collection in South Croydon, so there is no courier and no third party involved. South Croydon is about 14.2 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Brighton Road (A235) or Selsdon Road, 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 South Croydon
Most South Croydon collections are from a driveway or the street outside, but we also collect from garages, car parks and private land — anywhere from Lloyd Park to the roads off Brighton Road (A235). No keys, flat tyres or seized brakes are not a problem.
If you stop on Brighton Road (the A235), 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.
Not sure of the exact address? Give us a nearby reference point — Lloyd Park, Croham Hurst and South End restaurants, or the stations at South Croydon and Purley Oaks — and we will find you. You can also drop us a pin from your phone's map app.
What it costs in South Croydon
Every job in South Croydon is priced on its own merits rather than from a list. The vehicle, the collection address, the destination and anything unusual about the job all change the work involved. Tell us, and you get a fixed figure on the phone with no obligation. That figure is the price you pay. We take card and bank transfer.

We Buy Cars in South 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 South Croydon?
South Croydon is about 14.2 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 Brighton Road (A235) and Selsdon Road. 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 CR2?
Yes — every street in CR2, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of East Croydon, Croydon, Waddon and West Croydon, 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 South Croydon station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in South 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 Brighton 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.
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 South Croydon?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across South Croydon, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
