Thank you so much for coming out to remove our 60 year old Bedford van. It was a challenging removal which you made look easy. You gave a very prompt service despite being terribly busy, and the team were very pleasant, helpful and professional. We really appreciate all the extra effort you put in to be able to carry on out this removal for us.

Friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Very well organised and tidy yard with modern handling equipment. We were dealt with courtesy and efficiency. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel at ease despite our request being very low key.

The team at Assingtons were really friendly and super efficient sorting my car for scrap with a decent value offered for it. After an awful morning where I broke down on a major A road, they made the process of scraping my vehicle easy, quick and less painful, all within a few hours of my call. Thank you Assingtons
