Slow and low!
Eamonn McLaughlin does a door to door service and is one of the most reliable in my experience.
Price depends were it is but can be £280-£450 ish sort of price.

As above, Eamon is very reliable and does a door to door service but usually slightly dearer. If I'm wanting a cheap job done I get David Corr in Cookstown to bring them, he's usually £50-100 cheaper than Eamon McLaughlin but it could be two weeks by time it's home and I have to pick it up in Cookstown.

DS Recovery based in Dundonald. Usually has a transporter over once or twice a week. He isn't hard to pay to be fair.

Usually would use this option myself but busy at present so looking into this option . Vehicle can be viewed by a relative as well so no worries that way :grinning:

InterDealer Movements - £150 inc Vat from York to Belfast

That is a bargain!

I was going to say I'd always go over and pick it up myself but that would be a great option for those that can't spare the time etc.

As I said above McLaughlin is very expensive. Johnston or parker are well priced and good at their job.

I've had cars lifted by Parker/Johnston for about £100 less than Eamon (only reason I went for them). They told me the cars would be here on Friday and they'd leave it to the house. End of week hear nothing so ring them and they both say 'awww it'll be next week'. Eventually I get the cars but have to go lift them from their yards.
