Yesterday we reached out to Nick with a car to sell and within minutes we spoke on the phone and arranged a visit. He arrived on time, very polite and courteous, he checked over our car within a short period of time and then offered a realistic and fair price for our car. Within the hour he had transferred the money to our bank account and notified the change of ownership to the DVLA. He drove the car away with him. Wow, in this age of clicks, ticks and skips we received an exceptionally smooth and professional personal service that walks the talk. Amazing job Nick, thank you.
