Q: What if my town is not listed?

Send your registration and postcode anyway. Smaller villages are often covered from a nearby town route, even if they do not have their own page yet.

Q: Can you collect a car that does not start?

Yes. We collect non-runners, MOT failures and damaged cars. Let us know whether the car rolls, steers, has keys and has inflated tyres.

Q: Can you collect from a car park, garage or private land?

Usually, yes, as long as there is permission and the vehicle can be recovered safely. Tell us about height barriers, locked gates, narrow access or permit rules before collection.

Collection notes

A few details make collection much easier

Every collection is a little different. A car on a clear driveway in Waterlooville is not the same as a non-runner in a tight Portsmouth street or a vehicle tucked behind a gate near Chichester.

When you request a quote, tell us where the car is parked, whether it starts, whether it rolls and steers, and whether there are any access issues. That helps us send the right setup first time.

Non-runners MOT failures Accident damaged cars No keys Multi-storey collection

Vehicles

Cars, vans and awkward collections

We don’t just collect tidy cars sitting neatly on a driveway. A lot of the vehicles we buy are MOT failures, non-runners, damaged cars, old vans and cars that have simply become too much hassle to repair.

Scrap cars

Old, unwanted and end-of-life cars ready to move on.

MOT failures

Cars where the repair bill no longer makes sense.

Non-runners

Vehicles that won’t start, won’t drive or need recovery.

Damaged cars

Accident damaged, write-off and salvage-value vehicles.

No keys

Often still possible, depending on access and ownership checks.

Vans

Light commercial vehicles collected from homes and businesses.

EVs and hybrids

Handled carefully, with the right details checked upfront.

Prices
