Move X is my preferred and normally cheaper but i found a very good chap through shiply i used for over a year for copart cars unfortunately he isnt fast enough for BCA stuff.

It sounds trivial but I save about £20 on average from my transportation costs, I've found a very good transporter who I use direct now ( no telling, or you'll all use them and I won't get my cars! HAHA! ) That saving pays for just over half of one of my valeters a year! Movex is simple and easy to use, it takes less than 2 minutes per job posting.

There tendancy to call you if you dont accept the quote in 5 minutes not so good. Funnily enough i asked one of the guys about doing work outside move x in future. He didnt seem to interest and just said its not worth the hassle with the choice of jobs on move x glad you have found someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Similar to the phone call from BCA after you buy something, I don't mind that either. Not gonna lie though, if they didn't phone I wouldn't mind that either haha. Just not overly fussed. But I do like a chat so I suppose I might miss the phone calls eventually and start ringing them haha. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
