I wouldnt do it for any less TBH, Liverpool to the south coast and back alone is a long day in itself, never mind dragging a car on the back. The only cheaper way to do it is to drive it back yourself

I got an M3 moved from Tyneside to Shropshire for £85 using Shipley. All done properly so no complains from me.

Might depend on the mover.

I told mine I couldn't get off work when they were going to collect it, but it wasn't a problem for them. Car was at the stealers, who wanted a letter authorising the car's collection, so the mover just picked up the key and took it.

All professionally done, with all bodywork marks recorded before and confirmed on arrival that all was ok.

Choose your mover carefully by checking their feedback.

You're right, it works in two ways.

If a haulier has a lorry travelling back empty, they look for cars in the same area they can pick up.

Shiplys is like Ebay in reverse as the hauliers all try to undercut each other.

Where abouts in Liverpool is it? I'm based in Liverpool, could give it a look over. Fuel leak might be something very obvious.

You could be right, there’s some unidentified life forms on this forum that’s for sure :)
