Reasonable proced car recovery company

[farbbm]

I need to get my car transported from Barton Le lay to a garage in Hitchin, and so far the quotes iI'e had are well north of £100 which seems excessive for an 8 mile journey. does any one have an experience of anyone who might do it for a more reasonable price.

If you don't get any specific recommendations, all I'd say is that from my own experience of using a cowboy from Shiply, I'd sooner spend more on a known quantity like Saunders, RAC or AA.

The person I used showed up at my parents house, was rude to them, then when he arrived at my house he insisted on cash before unloading (red flag!).

He then tilted the bed and accidentally let the brake off the winch instead of lowering the car with the winch. Smashed the car into the ground. Absolute Muppet.

Conversely, £100 could seem quite reasonable to travel to your location, load the car, transport to the destination, unload and then travel back to the start location. I m sure you might find it for less; but as the poster above points out, how much care do think they might take with your car?

Just messaged you someone I used a week or so ago.

It was a few years ago but I used Wes at WP Recovery. Professional and reliable.

£100 seems to be around the standard call-out fee regardless of mileage.
