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 arrange collection. Car was collected at stated time, and cheque left in post box. Great service. Certificate of distruction issued soon after.
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.
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
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. Called me the same day to arrange collection. The man that collected my car was very friendly and helpful and the money was in my account a few hours later! Definitely recommend.
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.
From the price i was offered to the communication and smooth collection process, i would thoroughly recomend car take back. Was paid the correct amount the same day the car was colllected. Very satisfied...
Very easy, was kept informed all the time as to what the procedure was. The whole procedure was very easy, I phoned a few scrap places for quotes and this company was the best offer. Would highly recommend this service
