Recommended car transport / delivery company

[Dec 1]

I had to get the rado moved up to my new house, so was dreading getting it on and off a transporter, with its low ground clearance. Anyways after a bit of searching I found this small company that specialises in sports / classic car transportation.

 

Small company run by a guy called Terry, who's big into his VW's. Got my pretty severely lowered rado onto the trailer no problem, without even scraping the front spoiler at all! The price came out a lot lower than I was expecting too!

 

Could possibly be of use to someone in future?

Out of interest how much roughly do they charge?

Can I also recommend a friend of mine who also offers this service, but with a proper lowloader.

He went into this business after being frustrated with the poor service that others were offering. Heavily into his VWs and also has a Corrado!

Based in the south east, but goes national!

:lol: didn't notice that pic of my car on the site! It's looking a bit sorry for itself, without one of the headlights and grille though! :(

 

tbh I chose that company over a usual car transporter as the type of trailer they use is a low height and can be fully tilted to get the car on. So my rado went on the trailer no problem, even with only a few cm clearance on the 90mm spoiler on the front! Every other time I've tried to get a car with low ground clearance on a 'transit van' type transporter it has almost torn the spoiler / sump off! :(

 

I was charged £59 to move the car from West Lon up to Bedford (65 miles'ish), which I thought was very reasonable! 8)

Do you know if he does small jobs? I might need to get my car towed 8 miles next Friday and am naturally apprehensive of just picking any old johnny out of the yellow pages...

afaik, he does any sort of small jobs. He probably has some sort of min call-out charge. But could be worth asking! :wink:
