Can anyone recommend car transport companies for moving a car within the UK? I have used Virginia Water Motor Company before but wanted to check if there is anyone else

thanks

I use a guy called Paul Ridley. He does stuff for the TopGear show now and then too.

Good price too.

Craig,

Mike Pullen uses a guy called Chris who is very good (he might be moving mine next week), I don't have his number to hand though, but Mike does.

Cheers

Pete

Mike told me he wouldn't be there today. I think he is back next week.

craig, that's the guy that pulled my qv up by the rear suspension and bent it some years ago, i was gutted.
i use a guy local to me in beds with a covered (ex audi) transporter, my sv went in and he likes a deal. mcgrath maserati recommended him to me.

it was some time ago i must admit, but i questioned him as he hooked the winch up, then watched my suspension bend slowly as it went up the ramp, like a mug i still paid him as he said mike would fix it.
if the same happened today i'd unhook the car and send him packing with a repair bill in the post shoot sorry to be negative.

Sorry to bump this thread - I don't like promoting the business too much but thought I'd post our details if you require a service in the West Midlands.
