Garage Clearances – Vintage Cars, Car Parts & Full Cleanouts Across South East London

For instant help or a quick quote, call 07419 622 141.

Garages are one of the easiest places for old cars, tools, parts and scrap metal to build up over the years. What starts as a small collection of parts or a project car can quickly turn into a space that is impossible to use. At We Buy Cars and Recovery, we specialise in full garage clearances, removing everything from vintage vehicles and engines to tools, wheels, panels and long-forgotten spares.

From our base in Abbey Wood, we cover all of South East London and can travel further when needed. Whether you are clearing out a property, making room for a renovation or finally dealing with a vehicle that has not moved in 20 years, our team can handle the entire process safely and professionally.

We Clear Garages of All Sizes and Conditions

Garages come in all shapes and conditions — some tidy, some overflowing, and some completely unreachable. Whatever condition your garage is in, we can clear it.

We remove:

  • Vintage and classic cars
  • Project cars (running or not)
  • Engines, gearboxes and mechanical parts
  • Wheels, tyres and panels
  • Brake discs, callipers and suspension parts
  • Tools and workshop equipment
  • Batteries and metal scrap
  • Loose car parts and boxes of spares
  • Vehicles stuck for years
  • Cars that no longer roll or steer
  • Old stock from ex-traders or mechanics

Whether your garage needs a small tidy-up or a full emptying, we can complete the job from start to finish.

Specialist Handling for Vintage & Classic Cars

Many of our clients have vintage cars, barn finds or classic vehicles tucked away in garages. These often require careful removal due to age, rust, weight or the fact they have not moved in decades.

We specialise in collecting:

  • Full classic cars in any condition
  • Restoration projects
  • Part-complete builds
  • Barn finds and long-term storage vehicles
  • Shells, rolling chassis and stripped-down bodies
  • Vintage engines, panels and mechanical spares

Even if the car is boxed in, surrounded by clutter, missing wheels or stuck against a wall, we have the equipment and experience needed to remove it safely.

Our Hiab lifting equipment allows us to lift cars that cannot roll or steer, making us the ideal choice for very old, fragile or incomplete vehicles.

Hard-to-Reach Garages? No Problem

Many garages have difficult access, including:

  • Narrow alleyways
  • Rear garages behind houses
  • Garages with overgrown vegetation
  • Blocked driveways

We work with these situations daily. Even if the vehicle is buried under years of items, we will extract it safely.
