I was working and got the days mixed up myself but when they came to to take the car they wore highly understanding and allowed a family member to hand off the documents for the car and had the end of life cert without a couple of days of the car being taken would highly recommend as the interaction was positive and efficient thanks again to the lads 😀

Another pleasant experience with CarTakeBack

For myself its was the second time in a short period that I had to use the service but I can say on both occasions its was quick and seamless. I got the best price from all other quotes for my recent removal and everything was well organised and executed. Received the cert of destruction within a week of the car being collected. Very good service and the are dealing with reliable suppliers around the country.
