Gets better and better

Have used Collecting Cars to sell items a few times now and would thoroughly recommend. My latest consignment was handled by Fynn, his communication and attention to detail were exceptional.

The whole process ran smoothly and the item achieved a great price.

I purchased a registration number through collecting cars. Although just shy of the reserve Oliver negotiated a deal. Nice work Oliver.
I think I got the registration number at a decent price, would have been more expensive on a DVLA auction, that's for sure.

Fantastic service

I had an excellent experience with Collecting Cars from start to finish. The whole process was smooth, clear, and very well managed. Communication was great throughout, and everything worked exactly as explained with no stress or surprises. I’m genuinely really happy with the service I received and wouldn’t hesitate to use Collecting Cars again or recommend them to others.

Great Service

Found the whole process from bidding to collecting the car to be fantastic. As soon as I won the auction, I was contacted immediately and all my questions were answered by the team. Wouldn’t hesitate buying from them again.

Unethical Platform that Doesn't Abide by Their Own Rules

The company tells you the rules of the platform which is to describe the car as accurately as possible disclosing all known issues, then the highest bidder then has 7 days to purchase the car. They send a photographer to take 200 pictures at your costs but they don't inspect the car. What they don't tell you is that their "clients" (dealers who purchase from them frequently) are allowed to demand an inspection after winning the bid and then reject the car if they don't want to proceed. Once you've been rejected, the chances of selling in another auction are very low. Dealing with them was just a complete waste of time.
