Town, village and canal

Rothwell is terraces around Commercial Street and the church, estates towards the Leeds side, and the newer housing on the old colliery land. Oulton is a village of semis and drives; Woodlesford runs down to the canal and the river with newer estates. Access is easy almost everywhere and a car on a drive is a five-minute load.

Grouped with Leeds south and Wakefield

Rothwell goes out with Morley, the south of Leeds and Wakefield, so a lorry is up every couple of days and two working days is the usual lead time. The M62 and M1 make it a straightforward run. Choose your day at booking and we call back to confirm it and the half of the day to expect us.

What happens at the kerb

ID and proof of address are checked against the registered keeper, the car against the quote, and the bank transfer follows once the car has been checked in at our yard: same day if we collect before 3pm, next working day if later. No V5C is fine; it just makes the paperwork quicker. A car in a garage or one that will not roll just needs mentioning when you book; the winch costs nothing extra.

We tell the DVLA

The car is depolluted and recycled at our Authorised Treatment Facility in Mexborough, and the Certificate of Destruction is issued by us with the DVLA told you are no longer the keeper.
