Does anyone have any experience of car transportation companies they would recommend?Need to have my car brought from the Leeds area to north Ayrshire. Car is driveable but not advisable to drive that far (fire damage to interior so some wiring might be suspect).

Thanks, will contact Falkirk car carriers on Monday, seem to have a good reputation from what I can find.

Been on Shiply but don't like putting the exact location of the car there for all to see and would rather deal direct with a company. Maybe just me being paranoid but had enough hassle with the car this week to want to deal with anymore.

I called Falkirk Car Carriers last year to bring a car from London to Glasgow.
Was told they'd call back within the hour, they didn't. Called the next day and they said they've been too busy?! Fine. We'll call you tomorrow. They didn't.

I called them a few days later and all I got was cheek from the girl I spoke to. I actually asked her if I had done something wrong cos she seemed genuinely pissed off.
I wasn't calling for a price, I was calling for it to be DONE. So wasn't like I was hassling them just for a price, I was giving them the job but nah, apparently they don't like carrying cars as much as they make out.

Ended up using a private recovery truck owner who done it without being asked twice...or 4 times in FCC case. Never again.

I've used www.carstoragescotland.co.uk several times and they've been brilliant. Will be using them again later on this year.

Another company I used was www.pro-driver.org who were good enough. They will either drive the car for you, put it on a trailer or put it in a covered transporter. So a couple options depending on how much you want to spend.
