"Catch up" means you shared all your news that has happened since you last spoke with each other. You are bringing each other up-to-date on your lives. He got out of the car to check out the damage.

JadelA car from my company will come by for [you / me / them / ...] in about an hour.
I believe you omitted some words.

"come by" ~ arrive
"for you" ~ to pick you up (and take you somewhere)

It might be all right in the right context. It's a comment about a past activity.
