Simple and easy from start to finish. Driver who came to pick up the vehicle phoned to give us an arrival time, was very helpful, friendly and dealt with us in a professional manner. The money we were offered was in our bank account the very next day.
Ultra professional and flawless approach. The whole experience from start to finish was class. Funds transferred before I could put the kettle on ! Driver was a really nice guy too, very friendly and courteous. Great company ethic. Lovely experience indeed 👍
Simple to use and the man who collected the vehicle was very helpful and friendly. Funds were put into my bank account within 24 hours which I was happy about.
It was quick and an offer was made and agreed upon. Collection was great and the driver who came for the car was friendly and went through the paperwork quickly. A few hours later the amount agreed was paid into my sons account as agreed
I found the whole process from start to finish to be straightforward and understandable. I was kept informed throughout and most certainly I would use this service again without a doubt.
Sold 2 cars to them. We're poliite, punctual, very helpful- both office & guys who came to collect. Jump started if needed. Both times they were a lot better than other companies on price. I'd check these first!!👍🙂
Very efficient from the initial quote to the collection. They called to say when they were on the way, the man was friendly and polite and the money was in my account the next day.
Really excellent. They quoted a price, collected the car and paid swiftly and without quibbling. The driver of the truck who came to pick up my car had a very positive attitude to a tricky job, and was friendly and communicative throughout.
