We Buy Cars in South Norwood, Croydon
If a vehicle in South Norwood 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.
Selling a car that does not run is usually the hardest part. For sellers in South Norwood 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 SE25
We collect from every street in SE25 with our own truck, at a time agreed with you. South Norwood is about 12.2 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Portland Road or Station 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 Norwood
Most South Norwood collections are from a driveway or the street outside, but we also collect from garages, car parks and private land — anywhere from South Norwood Country Park to the roads off Portland Road. No keys, flat tyres or seized brakes are not a problem.
If you do not know the street name, a landmark is just as good: South Norwood Country Park, South Norwood Lake and Stanley Halls, or Norwood Junction station. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
What it costs in South Norwood
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 South Norwood — 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 Norwood?
South Norwood is about 12.2 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 Portland Road and Station 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 SE25?
Yes — every street in SE25, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Selhurst, Anerley, Elmers End and Thornton Heath, 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 Norwood Junction station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in South Norwood, 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 Portland 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.
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 Norwood?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across South Norwood, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
