Vehicle Transportation for Classics, Non-Runners and Prized Cars
Some cars are more than just transport. A classic you have spent years restoring, a fresh purchase you cannot wait to enjoy, or a non-runner that needs to reach a workshop. When a car matters, it deserves to be moved by people who treat it like their own. SP Recovery has been transporting vehicles for Belfast owners, dealers and enthusiasts since 1995. We load carefully, secure properly, and can photograph the vehicle before and after so you have peace of mind from collection to delivery. Whether it is around the corner or the length of the country, your car travels in safe hands.

07707 362578How it works
From your call to back on the road
Tell us about the vehicle
Call 07707 362578 or message on WhatsApp with the make, model, whether it runs, and the collection and delivery points. The more we know, the better we plan.
We agree a clear price and time
We confirm a price and a collection window with you up front. Because transport is planned rather than an emergency, we can work around your schedule.
We collect and document
We arrive on time and load with care. On request we photograph the vehicle before it goes on the truck, so its condition is recorded from the start.
Your car travels secured
The vehicle is strapped down correctly and protected for the journey, whether it is a short hop across Belfast or a longer run across the country.
We deliver and hand over
We unload carefully at the other end, check the vehicle over with you or the receiver, and make sure everyone is happy before we leave.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about vehicle transportation in Belfast and the surrounding areas.
Can you transport a vehicle that does not run?
Yes, non-runners are a large part of what we move. Whether it is an engine that will not start, a seized gearbox or a project that has not turned a wheel in years, we have the equipment to load it safely. Just tell us the situation when you call so we bring the right gear.
Do you transport classic and prestige cars?
We do, and we treat them with the respect they deserve. A classic or high-value car is loaded slowly and strapped using the correct points so the bodywork and wheels are protected. If your car has particular quirks for loading, tell us and we will plan around them.
Do you only cover Belfast or can you go further?
We are based in Belfast and cover the surrounding area, but transport jobs often go much further. We can move a vehicle the length of the country when needed. When you call, tell us the collection and delivery points and we will sort the route and a price.
How do I get a price for transporting my vehicle?
The quickest way is to call 07707 362578 or message us on WhatsApp. Tell us the vehicle, whether it runs, and where it needs to go from and to. We will work out a clear price with you on the phone. There is no online form to wrestle with, just a quick chat.
What happens if my car is damaged in transit?
We take great care, and damage in transit is rare because we load and strap correctly. Photographing the vehicle before and after on request means its condition is clearly recorded at both ends, which gives you and us complete peace of mind that it arrived as it left.
Can you collect from an auction or dealership?
Yes. We regularly collect cars from auctions, dealerships and private sellers and deliver them to your door or workshop. Give us the site details and any reference or release information when you book, and we will handle the collection smoothly on your behalf.
Do you transport motorcycles?
We mainly move cars, vans and light commercials, but we are happy to talk through a motorcycle move and tell you honestly whether we are the right fit. Give us a ring with the details. We would always rather have the conversation than turn you away without checking.
How is the car secured on the transporter?
The vehicle is loaded onto the bed and held with proper wheel or chassis straps at the correct points, so it cannot shift on the journey. We never rely on the handbrake alone. Loading and securing properly is exactly how we keep your car in the condition you handed it over in.
Can you transport a car the same day, or does it need booking?
Because transport is planned work, it usually suits everyone to agree a collection window in advance, and that often means we can fit around your timing rather than rushing. If you do need something moved urgently, call us and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
Can I be there at collection and delivery?
Of course, and many owners prefer to be. You are welcome to be present when we load and when we unload, to hand over keys and check the vehicle with us. If you cannot be there, we can arrange collection or delivery with someone you nominate at either end.
Is my vehicle handled by the same family firm throughout?
Yes. Your car is collected, carried and delivered by SP Recovery, the same family-run team you spoke to on the phone. It is not passed between strangers along the way. That continuity is a big part of why owners trust us with cars they care about.
