Selling your car in Alston
Alston is about 35 minutes from our Hexham yard via the A686. Photo-based valuation, fixed written offer, free collection, Faster Payments before keys change hands.
Alston is the highest market town in England by elevation, sitting at around 1,000 feet on the A686 in the North Pennines. Population is approximately 1,100. Thirty-five minutes south-west of Hexham.
Collection in Alston
Alston collections are a planned trip rather than a daily one. We typically combine an Alston pickup with one in Allendale or West Allen to make the trip pay. The drive between your address and our yard does not affect the offer. There is no transporter fee and no postcode-based deduction.
How a sale works
Submit your registration through the online valuation wizard. You get a fixed written offer back, usually inside two hours on weekdays. We collect at your address with trade plates and a recovery truck on the van for non-runners. Faster Payments transfer before the keys leave your hand. The V5C is lodged with DVLA the same day.
Situations we cover
Beyond a normal sale: bereavement and probate with executor-paced timing, cars without the V5C, vehicles that have not started in years, and fleet disposals for schools, charities and small businesses. Cat S and Cat N markers are not a sale-killer; the offer is honest from the start.
