We Buy Cars in Streatham, Lambeth
Selling a car that does not run is usually the hardest part. For sellers in Streatham 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.
If a vehicle in Streatham 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.
Free collection across SW16
We collect from every street in SW16 with our own truck, at a time agreed with you. Streatham is about 13.7 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Streatham High Road (A23) or Mitcham Lane, 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 Streatham
Most Streatham collections are from a driveway or the street outside, but we also collect from garages, car parks and private land — anywhere from Streatham Common to the roads off Streatham High Road (A23). No keys, flat tyres or seized brakes are not a problem.
With 2 stations nearby — Streatham and Streatham Common — commuter car parks are a regular call-out here; tell us which one and whether it has a barrier.
If you do not know the street name, a landmark is just as good: Streatham Common, The Rookery and Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre, or the stations at Streatham and Streatham Common. A dropped pin from your phone works too.

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 Streatham — 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 Streatham?
Streatham 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 Streatham High Road (A23) and Mitcham Lane. 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 SW16?
Yes — every street in SW16, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Streatham Hill, West Norwood, Norbury and Tooting Bec, 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 Streatham station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Streatham, 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 Streatham High 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 Streatham?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Streatham, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
