They wanted £10.00 for a second hand car part that I bought brand new for £12.00. And that I cold have bought for £4.00 had I been prepared to wait 2 weeks for delivery.

The guy in the office is sooo rude. Thinks his better than everybody else. Made prices up on the spot. Guy in the yard didn’t have a clue what he was doing. Horrible horrible people that work here!! Pls don’t go.

Very impressed with this company. Accepted their quote on Friday and got a call a few hours later to arrange collection for Monday. They called Monday morning to confirm their arrival time, the car was taken very quickly and the money was in my account 3 hours later. Everyone I spoke to was polite and helpful, the whole process was absolutely painless. I would highly recommend this company.

Not great at all. Called and they booked us in for Friday. Didn't keep us updated and we had to call for updates until they finally said they were not coming. The next day they arrived and picked up the car. Payment should have been within 2hrs however we had to call again and again to see where our money was. Not a great experience but an OK price..

Fast collection. Very polite and courteous service from the initial telephone call to the nice chap that came to pick the car up. Hassle free. Payment in my bank within the hour of collection. Very good.

Very positive experience. Got a quote for my car to be scrapped and they called back and arranged a date of pick up soon after. Called to notify they were on their way and arrived on time. Polite and friendly service. Payment received within 2 hours as per the original quote. Thank you!

Thieves! They showed up over 2 hours late to get the vehicle (after forgetting about the pickup until I called). Then because I don't have a UK bank, they will not pay me. They have stolen my car. The only option I've been given is to drive 70+ miles there to get a check.... Mind you, they have my car, so that is impossible.

I wouldn't recommend this company after the way I was treated today, I rang to scrap my car and he offered me £35 less than their online quote and when I questioned the quote he hung up on me. Very poor service and I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone I know after my experience today. Luckily I have now found a great company that has booked my car in and hasn't tried to rip me off.

Amazing service. They were able to help and support me. They were pro-active and they really dealt with the situation, I was pretty impressed I must say. I would highly recommend them.
