Excellent service

Excellent service. Quick and no hassle. Within a few days of calling my car was taken away and I received my cert of proof of destruction. Lovely staff.

Excellent service

I found them very reliable and I would highly recommend car take back, they came and took the car away and gave me payment for my car it was a easy as that.

Excellent service!

Very easy to use and organise for collection. Price offered was fair. They called me a few days before pickup to make sure I had my logbook and everything ready for the day of collection. Pickup driver arrived on time, very friendly.

Good price, and despite slow contact were then a pleasure to deal with

Price theoygh website was good but the initial response after that was slow so I was uncertain the sale was going to progress, but when contacted, they were efficient and straightforward and arrived when they said they would so I was happy

Perfect service

I thought the service was amazing, they contacted me and arranged to collect the van in good time and no hassle. Payment exactly as said online then certificate arrived not long after. I would definitely recommend and use again no problem. Thanks for the great service

Car scrappage.

Very good. Happy with athlone staff. No messing. Straight forward. I am in the motor trade business. Unfortunately my teacher at school told me if I didn’t start studying and doing homework this is where I would end up. She was so right. Cheers martin
