Great service
Great service. Done and dusted within about 15 minutes despite the difficulties of an oddly parked car with a completely dead battery, an engine with no compression and the breaks locked on. The driver was very efficient, polite and not at all phased by the situation!

Simple process and pleasant experience.
Following a short search car.co.uk offered the highest price for my old car. Web form (setting up collection) was brief and easy to set up with AM/PM slots to choose from. Collection reasonably quick, and prompt payment (money on the account withing an hour or so from collection). Overall very simple process and pleasant experience.

Really smooth experience
Really smooth experience. The lad i talked to on the phone was so helpful and gave me the date for pickup and evaluation. The driver who came to pick up the car was so polite and cheerful. Jason and a wonderful lady. Both were so gracious. Got the money on the same day in the account. Would definitely recommend them.
