Recovery or transport: what's the difference?
Breakdown recovery is usually unexpected and urgent. Vehicle transport is planned and pre-booked. It's for cars that can't or shouldn't be driven, or that you simply want moved without adding miles: an auction purchase, a SORN car going for its MOT, a classic going to a show, or a car you've bought 200 miles away. Both use the same equipment and the same care. Transport is just booked on a date that suits you.
Auction collections
Found a car at Copart, BCA, RAW2K or Synetiq? We collect from auction yards and deliver to your door or your garage. Before we book, make sure the vehicle is paid for and released, and send us the lot number, release paperwork and any collection PIN. Unpaid or unreleased vehicles mean waiting time, which is charged under our terms and conditions. See our tips for buying a car from an online auction before you bid.
What we move
- Cars bought on eBay, Facebook Marketplace or privately
- Dealer stock and main-dealer collections
- SORN and MOT-failure vehicles to garages and test centres
- Classic, lowered and modified cars on a low-angle trailer, so no scraped splitters
- Non-runners and project cars
- Vans and 4x4s up to 2.7 tonnes. See van and 4x4 transport
- Caravans and trailers. See caravan and trailer transport
Local and long distance
We move vehicles across Greater Manchester every day and regularly do longer runs, for example to London, Norwich and further. You'll get a fixed price based on the collection and delivery postcodes, and a date that works for you.

Frequently asked questions
How much does car transport cost?
It depends on the distance and the vehicle. Local moves start from £50, and longer trips are quoted as a fixed price once we have both postcodes.
Can you collect from Copart or BCA for me?
Yes. Make sure the car is paid for and released, then send us the lot number and release details. We'll collect on the agreed date.
Can you transport a car with no MOT?
Yes. Transporting a SORN or MOT-failure car on a trailer is the legal way to move it, apart from driving it to a pre-booked MOT test.
Do you transport lowered or classic cars?
Yes. Our trailer has a low loading angle, and we strap the wheels rather than the body, which suits lowered, classic and performance cars.
