I can recommend Car.Co.Uk
I can recommend Car.Co.Uk, they gave me the best price of all scrap vehicle collection companies, they collected the next day as agreed in time slot, notified me by text 30 mins before Matt arrived, and he was super helpfull all credit to him. My old Car was still in sight going down the road on the transporter, when my wife open the front door to tell me my £360 was already in our joint account!! Beat that! Chris from Chester UK
