Title: Car transporting
Post by: Lil-Steve on May 12, 2011, 11:05:19 AM
Anyone know a decent company that move cars my FD needs to go from SE London over to Carl\'s in Newbury?
 
Probably about 150 miles in total, any reccomendations?
 
I know about AA, RAC and Greenflag etc for breakdown but the FD isn\'t covered at the mo (nor is it technically broken) and I\'ve got enough cash knocking about to get it done the quick way. :)

I can recommend this guy... http://www.shiply.com/transport-provider/RobertDiver/

He shipped my car from Chesterfield down to Rayleigh in Essex :)

Just put my job up for some bids on that site. It\'s well cheap will leave it for a couple of days and see what bids I get.

Rob was excellent, it\'s just him and a couple of guys, he managed to do it at very short notice as well. The guy who transported it knew all about low cars and stuff and had also moved a few RX8s around too :)

Shiply worked really well and was soooo cheap considering the distance and quality of service! Would highly reccomend this to anyone who needs to shuffle cars round the country!
 
Thanks mate :cheers

are you allowed to tell us what it cost you ( or a rough idea ) ?

From Plumstead SE18 to Hayward in Newbury ~110 mile sit cost me ~£70 all in including fees.
 
I thought it was a bargain considering it cost me £200 quid to have my Supra "retrieved" from a field a few years back to about 2 miles up the road!

Perhaps check on driftworks if anyone have a spare transporter or something, I know quite a few have a transporter to get certain drift cars to events etc

I put a link up about a guy down in Horsham - has 2 transporters - self drive if you\'re over 24, he\'s about £90 for the day and that includes 250 miles - you pay for diesel.
