Was quoted £450 for my car. A day later I was called and told them there was a traction light on dash and a minor oil drip which didn't affect the running as it was on a breather pipe not the engine. I then was offered £350 due to this leak and we agreed to go halfway £400 as it wasn't an engine oil leak. Car was collected and I was told car was being taken to Southampton not Hertford, I chose Hertford in case they started dropping their offer. Driver told me all was fine and car was going to Southampton, however he was not going direct to Southampton that day as it was 15.45 and M25 was dire. Next day at 09.15am I was called and offered £150 as turbo was tested and was faulty which had led to liners of engine being damaged. I informed the caller that the car was on its way to Southampton, not being delivered until later so how could they test it? I asked for images of the engine liners and still have no reply. My call go to a mailbox which is full! Why would a breakers dismantle an engine and then rebuild it when it was running fine, it was my daily car doing 40 miles a day. Beware..........

I chose them as they listed as being local, so if any issues arose I could get car back minus pick up fee....GDB2222 said:carscrapcomparison.co.uk Vs scrapcarcomparison.co.uk

I used one of those places once. They said someone will be there at 8:30 in the morning to pick it up and pay for it. The guy arrived, but the car had vanished. It had to have been picked up by a truck during the night because I had stripped a load of stuff off of it for the newer one I had bought.
I got a shiny crime reference number that was mine to keep forever.1
