Great company to deal with

Great company to deal with. I’ve sold my Reg through CarReg and it was a hassle free transaction. Peta was amazing to deal with as provided a great service and updated me with everything on time. So I knew where I was with the transaction and I would use them again. I can highly recommend CarReg if you want to get your personalised number plate sold. Great service.

Perfect from start to finish

Perfect from start to finish, all my questions were answered promptly and I couldn't have asked for a better person to deal with than Peta. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble.
I would definitely recommend Carreg

The interaction with Peta was amazing from start to finish,five plates in total, each one with different issues, all easily remedied. Tiny issue with numberplates but that was due to post office and the way the local holidays. Have already recommended to others. Great service and very reasonable cost. Thank you so much.

Great customer service.

Really happy with the service from CarReg, especially Curtis Lawley. Unfortunately the documents were lost in the post during the transfer process, but as soon as this became clear Curtis requested duplicate documents from the DVLA straight away and kept me updated throughout.

Despite the delay being outside of their control, CarReg still handled everything as quickly as possible and even refunded the transfer service fee as a goodwill gesture, which I really appreciated.

The whole process of transferring my plate was made very easy and stress free, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use CarReg again in future. Thanks again to Curtis and the team!

Jordan's the Man

I purchased a plate through CarReg which was not entirely straightforward as CarReg was not the seller, but acting for them. The seller was not the sharpest when dealing with paperwork but Jordan pressed them and had the transfer sorted in the course of an afternoon.
Top man
