Frequently Asked Questions

Transport

Q. How long will it take for my car to be delivered?
A. As soon as we receive your order our planners will allocate the first suitable transporter. We can advise an estimated delivery schedule at the time you place your order, please ask.

Q. Where are your offices, can I come to see you?
A. We are located in the Welsh countryside just across the border from Chester. All visitors are welcome to view our facilites, but please telephone us before hand.

Q. I have a single car to deliver OR I have four hundred cars to deliver?
A. We cater for individuals, major manufacturers and dealers wishing to move any number of vehicles anywhere in the UK or Europe.

Q. Can you transport vans and trucks?
A. Sure, no problem.

Q. How many cars can you load onto a transporter?
A. Depends on the size of the cars obviously, but we have a range of trucks capable of carrying up to twelve cars at a time.

Q. How do I know I can trust your company with my car?
A. Car Collection Services have been in the business of vehicle transportation since 1949. Our highly trained drivers have a damage bonus system as part of their wages, ensuring they take the greatest care of your car. Just in case we carry full goods in transit insurance so in the event of a mistake, and from time to time they do happen, your car will be fully repaired by an authorised reputable company.

Q. My car is a non-runner, can you still transport it?
A. Some of our trucks are equiped with winches, so in most cases is isn't a problem.

Q. Do you only transport vehicles?
A. Yes, we prefer to stick to what we're good at.

Q. I'm going treking around the world and I need someone to look after my classic car...?
A. Call us to discuss your requirements, we can help you.

Registrations

Q. I have purchased a car from outside the UK, can it be registered with the DVLA?
A. In most cases, yes. We have extensive experience in registering imported vehicles from all over the world. Our good relationship with our local DVLA office ensures that registrations are completed quickly, typically 3/4 working days. If your car has come in from outside of the European Union and is less than ten years old, it will need to go through an SVA test (Single Vehicle Approval). We can arrange that too.

Q. I've imported a car but don't have the time to register it....
A. We can take over the entire process, delivering the car to you 'On the Road'.

Q. What are your fees for DVLA registrations?
A. We charge £35+vat for handling vehicle registrations. We can also supply and fit number plates at one of our compounds, the charge for this is £20+vat.

Miscellaneous

Q. Do you sell cars?
A. No, at least not yet anyway, but we can recommend some very honourable and trusted dealers both home and abroad.

Q. What types of payment do you accept?
A. We accept all major credit and bank cards, cheques, bank transfers, and of course big fistfulls of cash are also welcome.

Q. Can I collect my newly registered car from your compound?
A. Yes, and we'll even put the kettle on for you whilst you inspect your new vehicle.

Q. Are you a member of any industry bodies.
A. We are active members of the 'Freight Transport Association'.

Q. Do all of your drivers talk to themselves?
A. No, just Brian. But we love him anyway.
