Non-Runner Collection

There's a specific kind of driveway clutter that is a car that doesn't run. It's not technically rubbish, but it's not transport either. It's just there, accumulating road tax exemptions and slightly judgemental looks from neighbours.

scrapcar.london collects non-runners. Flat tyre, dead battery, seized engine, catastrophic gearbox failure — it doesn't matter why it won't move, only that we can. Our flatbed recovery vehicles are equipped to collect vehicles that cannot be driven, towed, or pushed.

We'll agree a price based on your vehicle's make, model, and condition, then come to you with the right equipment. No fuss, no extra charges for recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

My car hasn't moved in 3 years. Will you still collect?⌄

Yes. We collect long-term non-runners regularly. We may need more information about the location and access, but if we can get our vehicle near yours, we can collect it.

The car is in my garage — can you still get it?⌄

Usually yes. We need adequate access for our recovery equipment. As long as there's reasonable vehicle access to the garage, we can typically collect. Let us know the specifics when you book.

Does a non-runner get a lower price than a running car?⌄

Generally the price reflects the condition. A non-runner may be worth less than a running equivalent, but we assess fairly based on weight, parts value, and make/model — not just whether it starts.

What if the car has no wheels or tyres?⌄

We've collected stranger things. Give us the details and we'll tell you whether it's possible and at what price.
