Selling a car becomes difficult when it cannot be driven, has failed its MOT, has been damaged, or costs more to repair than it is worth. Private buyers often lose interest, and arranging transport can make the process even harder.
That is where we help. We offer free car collection across Kent, often within 12 hours. We come to you, inspect the vehicle, handle the paperwork, and arrange payment on collection, with no hidden fees or transport costs.
Call 01795 250 065 for a free valuation. There are no admin fees and collection is free.
Free collection means we come to you. We arrange a collection window that works around your schedule, travel to your address, inspect the vehicle, agree on a price, handle all the paperwork, and make payment at collection. You don't arrange transport, you don't need to be near a branch, and you don't wait days for payment to clear.
What free collection does not mean is a guaranteed price before we have seen the car. We give a provisional figure over the phone based on the registration, mileage, and condition you describe. The confirmed price comes from the inspection at your address. If we find something significantly different from what was described, we'll tell you before we commit. No surprises on the day, no pressure to proceed.
The collection service is designed for vehicles that have reached the point where keeping or selling privately no longer makes sense. Most of the calls we take fall into one of these situations:
If your car falls into any of these, call us with the registration and a plain description of its condition. We'll give you a provisional figure and, if it works, arrange a collection window within 12 hours.
The process runs in four stages, and we handle most of it.
First, the phone call. Give us the registration number, the mileage, and a straightforward description of the condition. If the car has known damage, tell us what it is. We use that information to give you a provisional price. The call typically takes a few minutes.
Second, the collection window. If you want to proceed with the provisional price, we can agree on a collection time. We work across all of Kent and aim to collect within 12 hours of the call. For non-running vehicles, our recovery truck is available around the clock.
Third, the inspection. When we arrive, we check the car against what was described. We look at the bodywork, the mechanical condition, and the documents. If everything matches, the agreed price holds. If something significant was not mentioned in the call, we will discuss it with you before any decision is made. We don't complete a collection you're not comfortable with.
Fourth, payment and paperwork. Payment is made at collection. All the change-of-ownership documents are completed on the day, so the car is transferred out of your name as part of the sale process. You receive sales confirmation.
We give a provisional price before collection and confirm it after inspection. If we can't offer a price that reflects what the car is worth to us, we'll tell you clearly.
The price depends on the vehicle: its age, make, mileage, condition, and what the market for that type looks like at the time. We don't publish a standard rate because a tidy, low-mileage car and a non-running write-off sit at very different ends of the range.
We give a provisional figure over the phone, confirmed after the inspection. If the inspection finds the car is in materially better shape than described, the price goes up. If it finds significant undisclosed issues, we'll adjust and explain why before anything is agreed.
Payment is cash, on the day of collection, in full. No admin fees are deducted. No waiting for a bank transfer to clear.
Yes. Our 24-hour recovery truck handles vehicles that cannot be driven. We collect cars that are non-running, damaged, untaxed, or have been off the road for extended periods. If it is accessible and you have the legal right to sell it, we can usually arrange collection.
We buy all vehicle types through the collection service:
Taxed or untaxed, MOT or no MOT, running or not. The collection service applies to all of the above.
Because we're a direct buyer, not a broker. When a car comes to us, we buy it and handle what happens to it next: resale, parts, or recycling. The collection cost is part of how we operate, not an extra line on your invoice. National comparison platforms route your car through multiple parties. We don't. That keeps the process cleaner and the cost to you at zero.
We aim to collect within 12 hours of agreeing on a price over the phone. For non-running vehicles where the recovery truck is needed, the same window applies. If you need same-day collection, call us in the morning, and we will do our best to make that happen. We cover all of Kent, so geography is rarely the constraint.
Yes. Someone with authority over the vehicle needs to be present to sign the change-of-ownership paperwork and receive payment. This doesn't have to be the registered keeper in every case, but it should be someone who can legally sign on behalf of the vehicle's owner. If there's a specific situation: a vehicle owned by a deceased relative, a company vehicle, or a finance settlement. Call us before booking, and we'll talk through what's needed.
Have the V5C (logbook) ready if you have it. If the logbook is lost, collections can still proceed. We handle DVLA notification regardless. Other useful documents: any service history, the MOT certificate, and a valid form of ID. We deal with the paperwork on the day. You don't need to pre-complete anything.
Depends on the vehicle's condition. Cars in resaleable condition go through our buying process for onward sale. End-of-life vehicles go to our recycling operation. We handle DVLA notification on the day of collection, so the car is transferred out of your name immediately. You won't receive further tax reminders, insurance renewals, or liability notices for a vehicle you no longer own.
