Hi to all. I have just brought a tilt car transporter trailer so if anybody needs a car moved or collected just give me a call. I based in Meath but willing to go nation wide. The trailer can take from mini to a van.

I was thinking of a starting price for 50 euros around leinster and after that i'll have to see the distance. let me know what you think of the price. I'm not out to make millions but i do need to cover the cost of the trailer and i know how hard it is to get cars moved.

Seems cheap. I've a small 2 car recovery truck for moving my own cars. Don't really do any public recovery work as the insurance cover for hire or reward car transporting costs more and I'd not do enough to make it worth while. I move the odd car for a mate that's all the rest are our own cars we've bought into stock. But when I buy a few together I get a transporter company near us to collect them. Hayes Transport. They carry 9 at a time and charge me 40 a car including vat from Waterford to arklow. But if it was for just one car be a lot more. That's only for like 5 or more.

Oh and Brian James trailers are excellent. We've had 3 over the years and tow great. I used one to collect my brothers boxter from Birmingham towing it with a vivaro van and sat at 70 whole way down motorway no hassle.

I'm in the motor trade myself and when i needed a car collected i used rent a trailer but got pissed of when i had to fix the lights on it one morning before i went to Ennis to collect a car and the guy wouldn't pay for the work done or give me the trailer free of charge so i decide it was time to buy one.

.I looked into buying a Brian James but I could not justify the cost but they are the Rolls Royce of car transporters.
