The pick up Guy was brilliant,think he was called Chris he was friendly , polite and even took the time to call me to say my house keys were on the keyring with my car key after he left and he brought them back! amazing service 10/10 - highly recommend
Also company kept us informed of timings for pick up which was really helpful and payment was sent next day😊

I needed to get rid of my car quickly as the MOT was about to expire and the clutch needed replacing, which I couldn’t afford to repair.

The initial online quote from CarTakeBack was £1,156, which I accepted. I was then contacted by Redcorn, the company contracted to collect the car. After asking about the car’s condition, I explained that it sometimes got stuck in gear, which I suspected was due to the clutch needing replacement. Based on this, they reduced the offer to £966. I accepted this revised amount, and the woman I spoke to was professional and friendly.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t present when the Redcorn driver arrived to collect the car, so my partner handled the handover. At that point, the offer suddenly dropped from £966 to £600. The driver claimed the turbo was failing—something he supposedly diagnosed just by listening to the engine being revved. This was completely untrue.

He called me to explain, and I told him that Ford EcoBoost engines are known to sound slightly rattly, and that the car had sounded the same since I bought it 10 years ago, when it was just one year old. Despite this, the driver continued with vague claims about offering the “best price.”

As I needed the car gone quickly and had nowhere to keep it off the road, I reluctantly accepted the reduced offer.

I strongly feel that the driver fabricated issues to justify lowering the price. It gave the impression that there may be an incentive for drivers to reduce offers at collection.

I would not use CarTakeBack again, especially if Redcorn is involved. My advice to others would be to refuse any last-minute price reductions if a driver starts claiming questionable or unverifiable issues with your vehicle upon collection.

Quoted a price & arranged collection
All went smoothly & prompt payment
I got their details from a friend who was also
impressed with the service

Excellent service from initial phonecall to car pick up.
The driver was really friendly, helpful with the paperwork and very skillfull at his job.
I had a very good experience using this company 👍

Very helpful, quick to collect, reasonable price

They eventually did what they said BUT the first time, they just didn't show up. So I had to call after waiting all day to ask, and then was told they wouldn't pick up until the next week with no explanation. So on one hand, they eventually did exactly what they said and I was promptly paid and the workers I actually interacted with were great. But on the other hand, the whole experience kinda felt like pulling teeth. I had to be the one to ask the questions of what they needed from me, what to do if it had to be a contactless pick up, what email address to send things to, etc, and then they ended up picking the car up a full week after they said. So pros and cons, I guess?
