How the service works for you
Classics and older vehicles
Older vehicles sometimes have quirks – tired brakes, non-standard parts, or simply age-related fragility. We treat every classic with a level of care that reflects what it means to the owner, not just its market value.
Local moves and longer journeys
Whether the car's going to a specialist a few miles away or needs transporting further afield to a show, sale or new owner, we can arrange the journey with the same level of care throughout.
Low ground clearance and modified cars
Lowered and modified cars can be damaged by the wrong loading angle or ramp. We use appropriate equipment and take our time to load these vehicles without unnecessary risk.
