Cut a long story short ive been let down by a transport company this week to collect my car from Winchester and drop it at Milton Keynes.

Naturally loads of transport firms on the classifieds etc, I really dont want to just hand the keys to my car over to a firm I neither know nothing about nor have heard of.

Can anyone recommend a firm that could transport the it from Winchester to Milton Keynes (well just outside) by the back end of this week? Oh it must go on a transporter/flat bed?

Many thanks in advance.

We use a company called Dealer Support Group, DSG. They will collect your car and take it anywhere. Www.dealersupportgroup.co.uk don't be put off by the fact they are based in Exeter, they constantly have drivers an flat beds all over the country.

Worst case I will have to go down myself Thursday and take the time off, it really needs transporting as got 2 bald tyres and a knackered track rod end so dont really want it being driven on the road.
