I've been looking for the perfect…

I've been looking for the perfect registration plate for many years now, and a random look one day, found the plate, and absolutereg were the most amazing people I could have wished for to complete the task, the process was super easy, I chose for them to deal with everything for me barring the plates, they kept in touch all the way through the process, even when i was asking a million questions, they were still polite and super professional, and the speed in which they did it in was amazing, my plate was bought on the 15th july, registered and assigned to my vehicle to use on the 20th july, plus i had the logbook back 2 days later, i couldn't have asked for a better service, the whole process from start to finish was just amazing, and letting them deal with everything is definitely the right move, plus join up first and you'll get 50% off the transfer fee's, nice little bonus when theyre already from what I saw, one of the most, if not the most, competitive company out there, so if your looking for the perfect reg, then id recommend this amazing family run business without hesitation, Thank you Sharna and the rest of the guys at absolutereg, take care, Christian.

First class from beginning to end

First class from beginning to end. Thanks to Absolute Reg and in particular Maisie Squires for an excellent customer experience. Communication was brilliant very timely and clear and everything was explained very well. Would highly recommend if anyone is either selling their cherished registration plate or interested in buying one. Cannot commend highly enough. Thanks again!

Would definitely use this company again…

Would definitely use this company again and highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a private number plate. I particularly recommend the optional paid after‑service they offer, where they notify DVLA, MOT and Tax of the plate change for you, leaving you with just one job, informing your insurance company. Everything was quick and straightforward, including an email confirming exactly when the new plates were legal to use. In my experience this was next day. I notified Absolute Reg on a Sunday afternoon and received confirmation Monday afternoon that the plates were now legal and ready to use. The turnaround was surprisingly fast. Very impressed, well done Absolute Reg for an exemplary service!

Go elsewhere!!

I bought a registration online and paid in full at the time of purchase. I received a email confirming my purchase, and was told I’d receive regular updates. What I actually received was several marketing emails, but no updates at all. After a couple of weeks of hearing nothing, I contacted them to ask what was happening, and was told it takes twenty one working days to get the retention certificate. A month after buying the registration, and still no update, I contacted them again, and was told that the issue was being escalated to a manager. I received a phone call the following day advising me that AbsoluteReg were selling the registration online behalf of a third party, and they didn’t have the latest paperwork for the registration, and as the car that the registration was on, has now been sold, the registration went with the car, and they’d lost the right to the registration number, therefore making it no longer available. If you read other reviews, this seems to be a recurring theme. If they’re selling on behalf of a third party, then payment shouldn’t be taken, until all enquiries are made to make sure the plate is still definitely available, as some third party sellers advertise on more than one site. What makes this worse is they have this couldn’t care less arrogant attitude, when speaking to you. They have your money and that’s all that matters. I now have my refund and will not be returning to AbsoluteReg. If you like hassle, then this is definitely the company for you. However, if you want a registration, avoid this company and go elsewhere.

Reply from Absolute Reg

Thank you for your review. We're sorry this purchase could not be completed and appreciate your disappointment.

Unfortunately, the registration was being sold on behalf of a third-party owner who had disposed of the vehicle before retaining the registration, meaning the rights to the registration had been lost and the sale could no longer proceed. As soon as this was confirmed, we contacted you to explain the situation and issued a full refund.

Whilst we make every effort to verify registrations before progressing an order, there are rare occasions where circumstances outside of our control prevent a transfer from completing. We also apologise if you felt our communication fell short and will take your feedback on board as we continue to improve our service.

We wish you all the best in finding the right registration.
