I'm leaving the country unexpectedly, so needed to sell my car in a hurry. The whole process from the free valuation to sale took to getting the cash took not much over an hour. I'm impressed. Got a good price for the car too. Would def use again.

Motorway were by far the best company of this type to deal with. They actually kept to all the promised terms and arrangements, not least the price agreed over the phone based on my full disclosure of all the negative as well as positive points about the car. That is exactly what I would expect and if they could do that, why couldn't others ? The guys came and collected the car at the time they indicated. Very polite and friendly. Likewise the person I discussed the vehicle with over the phone. Efficient and straight-dealing company - would therefore recommend Motorway to anyone else.
