Recovery truck?

[Tiger13]

Anyone know of a decent cheap recovery service to bring me a car from northampton to cardiff?

:)

your not serious i assume? thats 165 miles then they charge to get back as well so even if they only charge £1 per mile its £330.

When it comes to recovery services, 'decent' and 'cheap' are never related, you will either get some cheap ass cowboy who will charge you bugger all, but probably wont have any form of liability insurance, wont strap your car on properly and will either lose it along the way and just go home, or damage your car and not care either way!

Or you will get someone who knows what theyre doing, has all the correct liability insurance and will care that your car is handled correctly, will strap it on properly, and your car will arrive at its destination in the same condition it was collected, this will cost you a decent whack as thats quite a distance, but if you really want the car/need it moving, then its a service youre going to have to pay for!
