Inspirli Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hey guys Has anyone dealt with Calkill Transport in Belfast recently? I spotted a VW T-Roc listed by them on eBay. I’d really like to hear from anyone who’s actually bought from them before I send any money Appreciate any advice Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovelyas Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hi Rob, Never heard of Calkill Transport before your post, but I’d be careful, lots of scam sites around lately. If the deal looks unreal, always double-check everything before sending a penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SundayShoes Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Ask if you can view the car in person. If they say it’s not possible or start giving excuses like “it’s in secure storage,” walk away there are plenty of fake listings on eBay and Facebook Marketplace where people lose thousands.

Racerse Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I looked them up on Google and there are actually quite a few positive reviews about Calkill Transport, mainly for their transport and haulage work. They appear to be a reputable company established in 2018 with trucks and drivers, not some pop-up website. Still, if you can view the car, that’s always the safest route.

RumbleRex Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 If they demand a bank transfer before you’ve even seen the vehicle, that’s usually a red flag. Most scammers use that trick, they ask for money upfront, promise delivery, then disappear. Only a few proper companies (like Cinch or Cazoo) work remotely in a transparent way.

PeakyOtter Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hi all, I actually purchased a Nissan X-Trail Tekna from Calkill Transport in November. It was a repo, but the car was immaculate. They gave me ten days to check everything once it arrived, so I took it to my local dealership in Nottingham. My mechanic said the car was in excellent condition no warning lights, no hidden issues. I rang Calkill Transport the next day to confirm I was keeping it. Can’t fault them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captiva Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Same here I got a Volvo V60 R-Design from them just before Christmas. There was a small delay with delivery (it took about 10 days instead of 7), but the car came exactly as listed. I was nervous about paying upfront but I spoke to them on the phone several times and they sounded genuine, answered every question patiently. The payment goes into a segregated account, so they don’t actually receive it until you confirm delivery. That part reassured me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspirli Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Thanks everyone, appreciate all the info. I decided to go ahead just waiting for the invoice from them now. They’ve been responsive so far, so fingers crossed. I’ll update once I get the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captiva Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 For what it’s worth Calkill Transport are legit. I used to work in their finance department before relocating to Manchester last autumn. The repossessed vehicle side of the business is fairly new they started doing it mid-2023, buying cars directly from bank auctions. The money-back policy and segregated payment system are both genuine. They do it to give buyers peace of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SushySosa Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I’ve just seen a Skoda Karoq SE L listed by Calkill Transport on eBay. The price looked suspiciously low so I nearly skipped it then I came across this thread, after reading everyone’s experiences here I think I’ll give them a call. Cheers to everyone for sharing, you’ve probably helped a lot of people out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspirli Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 paid for the T-Roc yesterday, and this afternoon got an email confirming that delivery will be in around six days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspirli Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Just got the car today! It looks brilliant super clean inside and out, all documents present including V5C, MOT certificate, and service record. Taking it to a mechanic tomorrow to double-check everything but first impressions are solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleRex Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I’ll admit, I was sceptical at first but seeing your update convinced me. Seems like Calkill Transport are the real deal after all. Nice one, mate that Tiguan looks spot on! I appreciate you sending the DM photo Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
