Absolutely first class service!

I've never scrapped a car before and I expected it to be difficult but it was so simple!! When I put my details on car.co.uk and received my quote I really expected some sort of catch as you hear so many bad stories around online scams but this was probably one of the best services I have ever received!

Outstanding

Literally the best customer service I have ever experienced. No messing about or admin fees or price subject to condition of car etc. I was a tad confused about the DVLA having tried to cancel my road tax online. The guy that collected the car was really helpful telling me what I needed to do in terms of the DVLA. As soon as my car had been loaded onto the pick up truck, the money was in my account. I was clueless but was informed every step of the way. Thank you so much for your help....

I had an online quote for a price for…

I had an online quote for a price for my car from Car.co.uk in the mid morning which I accepted. I also selected for the car to be collected the very same day. The car was collected late afternoon with absolutely no hassles whatsoever and I was kept informed with what was happening with the collector in the meanwhile. Within minutes of the car collection the money was paid into my account. This was without a doubt the easiest transaction I have ever encountered. The hardest part of all this was finding my V5 ready for the car collector.
