Highly recommended !!
Car.co.uk offered the best price by far out of all the sites I had got quotes from. The whole process was really easy to arrange and sort out a collection. I had a few enquiries and the different guys that I spoke to at customer enquiries was really friendly and helpful. I asked for an early/ first pick up and was told they would do their best. The night before I received a text asking if a 6:30am pick up would be possible. I agreed. Earlier the better for me. The morning of the pick up I had a call from the driver (John) who informed me he wasn’t far and sure enough he arrived on the agreed time. When he arrived he was so helpful and really friendly. The car was on the back of the lorry and paperwork sorted all within 15 mins. Can’t recommend these guys enough and I would definitely use again.

We received a very competitive quote…
We received a very competitive quote from Car.co.uk for my car and from the start they were very efficient with their quote which was easy to understand. After accepting their quote they kept me fully informed of the procedure and made it clear and simple. We agreed a collection date and they arrived on time with two polite and helpful driver and assistant and they loaded my car and left very quickly. The agreed price was paid by Car.co.uk and the money was in my Bank before the driver left. I would highly recommend this Company.

Once our driver arrives at your Berkshire address, they will quickly assess the vehicle and the paperwork you provided before towing it away. As soon as your car is on the road, we will ensure that payment is sent quickly via bank transfer.
When the car arrives at an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), the assessment team there will undertake further checks before beginning the scrapping process. The first step is depollution, in which hazardous fluids and materials are drained from your vehicle in accordance with nationwide environmental standards. Following that, all reusable and valuable parts are removed and set to one side.
