    Jason responded quickly and came out to see my car without delay. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very careful when loading and transporting the vehicle. Great service and I would happily recommend him.

    Friendly, reliable, professional service

    Posted 05 August

    We needed to take our Land Rover with a dodgy gearbox 86 miles to our chosen LR specialist. We’d booked a hotel stay nearby while the work was to be carried out. So as not to risk further mechanical and safety issues we decided transport was the way to go! Jason Richardson understood our requirements including the need for two passengers. I gave him the postcodes and he texted me a quote and we arranged a collection time for the following week. He arrived promptly in a crew cab 7.5 ton truck, loaded our car securely and drove impeccably. He was friendly, polite and easy to talk to. Thanks Jay
