Does What it Says on the Tin

CarTakeBack does what it says on the tin. I needed my car gone, contacted CarTakeBack and the operation was swift and hassle free. My car was collected and the money was in the bank that very morning. Lovely staff too.

Easy to deal with

Easy to arrange collection. Car was collected at stated time, and cheque left in post box. Great service. Certificate of distruction issued soon after.

5 stars

Easy arrangement

Straight forward, didn’t need to view the vehicle and organised a local recycler to collect it. Payment was in my bank from the local recycler same day as collection.

5 stars

Perfect solution

I sold my car to car take back. I rang in the afternoon and they come on the same day which was really good. The man that came to my house was so nice, he explained everything that I needed to do with D. V. A. I was paid the same day to. Bolton

4 stars

Excellent Service

The process was very smooth and quickly organised. The vehicle was picked up at the time arranged and the driver could not have been more helpful. We were kept up to date each step of the way. The certificate arrived quickly afterwards. Would recommend and use again.

Excellent service. Don't hesitate to use.

Everything was straight forward the staff are very helpful and answered all my questions. I normally just trade my car in so have never had to deal with DVLA. Their guide to completing the online form was excellent.
