Question: Hi Chris,

can i ask a few questions please?
would you consider £1800 ?

My car has been recovered to a local french garage , they supposedly repaired it (550 euro) then it broke down again on the A20 30 miles further north. I can send you photos. It has lost all its coolant over the road . A blockage ? Head gasket?

Are you able to provide a copy of your insurance ? 3rd party cover?

If you are dropping it off in Beds how will you get back to the Tamar Valley?

When would you be able to do it?

i have never used this type of service before excuse my nervousness .. The whole experience has been terrible for both my Wife & myself . It started as a good holiday. - (19-09-2024)

Response:
Hello and thank you for your message
I'm really sorry to hear that it spoilt your holiday. We're in France now on holiday, returning tomorrow.
My quote is to transport your truck not drive it. It will be transported on a high specification Brian James Transporter Trailer, I'm fully and properly insured for the transport of vehicles and I can supply you with a copy of my insurance.
It's expensive with truck and trailer on the ferry, but I could split the difference with you at £1900, please let me know if that works for you and I'll adjust the quote.
I'm off to Italy next week to drive a car back to London, then I have two Italian trips but could squeeze your job in between. So, within 7 - 10 days until collection with delivery being direct.
If you haven't already done so, please see my feedback.
All the best, Chris - (19-09-2024)

Question: Seems fine to me Chris .

So you are talking sort of 28th September to the first week in October ?

We are going to Rome for a week travelling back on the 4th Oct .. That said it makes no difference as i have arranged for a local garage to take it in on arrival.

if these type of dates are ok with you i will go back to our French colleagues and make sure this will be ok with no huge storage costs.

Thanks Ham - (19-09-2024)

Response: Thanks for the reply Ham,

I'm pretty flexible to be honest, so anytime after next week is doable, I can work around you and both garages.
If you are able to keep it fairly flexible, even better. If I could get one of the Italian jobs done before yours it would be great, but not essential.

All the best, Chris - (19-09-2024)

Question: Hi Chris let me just check with France re pickup . I have a french speaker on it i will get him to call 1st thing tomorrow as they will be shut now ..

i will then go ahead

Thanks - (19-09-2024)

Response: Great, I may disappear tomorrow whilst on the ferry.
I've reduced the quote, so if you are happy with the outcome with the French garage tomorrow,
please go ahead and accept and I will do my best for you.
Best regards, Chris - (19-09-2024)
