Excellent service. Car was collected in good time.Dave Masters the driver came and checked the driveway was strong enough for the vehicle before attempting to reverse down it,its fairly narrow but did it with care and consideration.Really impressed, really good bunch of people from Sian in the office to Dave the driver. Would certainly recommend.

Inquired about a drivers door mirror for my VW Golf, Reclamet team got back to me very promptly to say they had one and in colour!!Many photos showed the mirror as it was with a few blemishes to the coloured cover. Swapping over was quite easy, used my existing cover as it had fewer marks. Keep the Reclamet one aside in case I decide to get it repainted. Came across them from the guys at Salvage Rebuilds, will use Reclamet if / when the need arises. Arrive very well packaged. Excellent service.

Car picked up at 8am money in bank by 3pm, great, professional service.

Tom french

Beware of George and his great promise. Multiple phonecalls within 5mins of speaking to him finally accepted and agreed to a good deal. Car was picked up very quickly the next day and taken away for scrap. He Then promised the money in my account by 6pm...just to let you know they shut there phone lines at 5pm so no way of contacting them. Beautiful sales pitch to to avoid the payment not going in, was expecting to be honest(that's me lie). I will 'hopefully' get my money for scrap car 'probably' Monday as there closed over weekend. But fair play George for insisting on a review. Not your fault mate just part of a c#ntish system. Other than that 5 out of 5 for customer service and speedy collection of car.....fingers crossed for monday payment 💪
