Once you have a valuation, you can choose a date, time, and branch that is convenient for you. You’ll take your car to this branch to have it appraised.
We’ve got over 550 branches across the UK, with an average drive time of 11 minutes.
Sell your car
At your appointment our buyer will inspect your car and confirm your valuation. If you choose to go ahead, we’ll walk you through all paperwork, and your car is sold.
We’ll transfer the payment directly to your chosen bank account by electronic transfer.
Our buyers will help you through any issues you may have, and there is no obligation to sell at our appointments - we don’t use pushy sales tactics.
