Has anyone used cartakeback.com?

Do you get the price they quoate? or is it like webuyanycar.com where they have hidden fees and get the price down.

    Gave me the price they quoted and at the time they were offering the best deal, except for 1 breakers 20 miles away and I'd have to have taken the car there...

    @Bengalnights - perhaps the OP would appreciate comments from those who have actually used them....just a thought? :)

    I've had two picked up, both for what they quoted. One was a no show however, after I described the car honestly, they claimed the car wasn't worth it, so they didn't want to come and get it. Cartakeback are a broker, they were very apologetic, and organised another breaker to come and get it, no problem with them, they paid the price offered, and a very polite driver just said some you win, some you lose. I'd use them again.

    I have two cars, one in ok condition (bodywork) not running.

    The other has dents, two indicator lights broken and a window broken, does anyone know how much they will reduce the offer?

    They have quoated £115 to collect.
