Great Experience
Great customer service from the Admin to Travis you collected my car
Informed throughout the process and payment arrived promptly
Will use this firm again
The Price They Offer is the Price You Get - Unlike Others
I'd scrapped a car through them before many years ago and was offered a decent price, with a no hassle pick up and money in my bank within 24 hours.
I couldn't remember their name when I came to scrap this car so had several offers at and above the price CarTakeBack offered.
BUT every other company then tried went back on their offer - one even claiming that because it had no MOT it was worth less - and remember we're talking about a scrap car here.
Unbelievable.
No such issues with CarTakeBack. They honoured their original price. Cash in the bank within 24 hours.
Why 4 star? Well given it had a new alternator, brand new trye and was a runner I thought I'd get more.
Nevertheless satisfied with the service.
Be careful they were great at giving me…
Be careful they were great at giving me a price getting my car but as soon as I contacted DVLA to surrender the ownership they put in my bank £10 short no reason why yes I was silly to surrender before payment but there is small claims court let’s face it the car was sold as SCRAP this firm could find anything wrong as it’s SCRAP easy extra money just be careful with this firm after the response I would highly recommend you get the driver to fully check your car and video the check
