Painless and Pleasant Experience Selling Our Toyota RAV4
We placed our Toyota RAV4 up for sale on Autotrader and received a number of rather dubious calls from brokers offering to buy the car for cash. We declined but SMR got in touch and were extremely professional. They made us a fair offer for the car, placed a small holding deposit then collected and paid for the car in full within a week. The whole experience was excellent marred only by my natural suspicion about a potential scam. I needn't have worried and I would recommend selling a car to SMR to anyone.
Dealt with Andy and his driver Chris

Great communication
SMR contacted me after I advertised my vehicle on Autotrader. I dealt with Andy who was very professional, the instructions were clear and communication throughout was great.
Calls and emails were returned immediately and the whole process was easy even though we were over 300 miles apart.
Quick Sale
Can’t recommend the guys at SMR enough. They are quite meticulous and are always reachable. Gives a lot of confidence working with them.
Great service
Great service, picked up from our office, and funds paid there and then. will use again.
A*** company
Selling a car is quite a daunting process anyway, let alone selling it to a company over 300 miles away! However dealing with Andy and Chris at SMR the process was smooth, professional and hiccup free! I whole heartedly recommend using this company, the communication was excellent right from the first discussion up to and including after the sale. Clear information was provided and on the day of "the sale" I felt confident knowing I was dealing with an A*** company. Thank you!
Brilliant service
Brilliant service, friendly and informative staff. Would definitely recommend them and use again
