Default car transportation/collection service?

does anyone have any recomendations for car transportation? i need a car picking up near bangor, wales and delivering to liverpool, i'd pick the car up myself but i just don't have the time at the minute

car is a non runner so needs to be delivered on a lowloader/trailer

i've tried posting on anyvan, shiply and uship but keep getting really expensive quotes

ive used shiply with good results in the past. had to wait about a week though for the prices to keep dropping. the first few quotes were ridiculous.

Denis, phone 07957 203 795 or email Dct@live.co.uk and speak to Stevie.
I've used him a good few times and no one comes close with the service he provides and his prices.
He works for himself and if you aren't in a hurry for the car can arrange to pick it up when he's down that way therefore keeping the cost down for you.
Tell him Stevie ( me ) gave you his details.

Give him a phone and see where he's at this week then Denis. Obviously if you need it ASAP then it would be better to phone him direct. Phone him anytime, if he doesn't answer he'll phone you back.

I was going to look into this myself but was told it is cheaper to hire a transporter yourself if it needs to go long distance, don't know how true that is?
