Recovery truck collecting a scrap car in the Lake District

Local to Windermere

Scrap Car Collection Across Windermere & the Central Lakes

Selling a scrap car in the Lake District is different from selling one in town. The nearest buyer can be a long drive away, and plenty of people simply leave an old car sitting on the drive. We save you the trip by coming to you.

We collect all around Windermere and Bowness – from the streets near the station and Lake Road down to the lakeshore – and out to Troutbeck Bridge, Ambleside, Grasmere and Hawkshead. South along the A592 we cover Newby Bridge and Lakeside, and we regularly head over to Staveley, Ings and Kendal.

Our recovery trucks are used to the narrow lanes, steep driveways and tight car parks you find around the lake, so access is rarely a problem. Just let us know where the vehicle is when you get in touch.
