Frequently Asked Questions:
Why should I choose you
As we are a local company as apposed to a national company who use agencys to carry out there collections, We do all our work ourselves with a team of profesional drivers with a fleet of Vehicles to suit every collection. Being a local company, this keeps our costs down to a minimum enabling us to pay highest prices and provide a fast profesional service. We guarantee no nasty suprises weeks down the line. We also have a superb ratio on collecting your car at the time the vehicle is booked in. Infact we take calls every day from the public who have previously been let down by other companies or have been offered a fair price over the phone then had that price slashed in half when the driver comes to collect. The price we quote is the price we pay. All of the vehicles we collect are recycled at a Authorised Treatment Facilitie (ATF) for end of life vehicles and we issue a DVLA Certificate of Destruction for every vehicle.
