Tell us what the vehicle can and cannot do
There is a big difference between a car that starts but is unsafe to drive, one that will not start but rolls freely, and one that has seized brakes and flat tyres after five years in a garage. Each needs a different approach on the day.
- Does it start?
- Does it roll in neutral?
- Does it steer?
- Do the brakes release?
- Are the tyres inflated?
Access matters
A non-runner has to be winched or pushed to the truck, so we need to know what is around it. Narrow driveways, garages with tight entries, gravel, slopes and parked cars all affect what is possible. A couple of photographs sent over WhatsApp usually answers everything.
No MOT or no tax
A vehicle without MOT or tax cannot be driven on the road but can be transported. This is one of the most common reasons people book us.
Questions
Common questions
My car has been sat for years and the brakes are seized. Can you still move it?
Usually yes, but it takes longer and may need skates or extra winching. Tell us in advance so enough time is allowed.
Can you move a car with no MOT?
Yes. It travels on the truck rather than under its own power, so no MOT or tax is required for the journey.
