Brilliant service !!
Brilliant service !!! This company was the one that offered me the best value for my car. They picked up my old car the next day I've booked and the service I've received from the young man who came, Joshua, was very good, quick, efficient and friendly. The payment was made straight away after he left.

After rearranging due to issues which couldn’t be helped. When Aaron arrived from start to finish he was amazing. Went the extra mile as it was very problematic trying to get the car to move etc. can’t thank him enough. Such a smooth transaction process also. Instant payment received. Would definitely use again😊

Good price and did exactly what they said they would
Good price offered for scrap vehicle. Did exactly what they said they would, turned up on time with great communication by text and email and even a phonecall throughout.
Lee, who collected the car, was polite and efficient, took a few photos, loaded the car up, filled in the paperwork and was away within no time. Payment came through to my bank account less than an hour later. Great company to deal with
