Del is all you need for anything administrative wise in Spain. Fast, efficient, helpful and extremely well priced. Our new car check and transfer was all sorted same day. It was the most stress free experience we have had in 20 years of living in Spain. We are fluent Spanish so language no problem for us but Del seems to have the magic touch when it comes to the authorities and paperwork. Thank you so much Del. You are a superstar.

Fantastic service!! quick, easy and very good communication. They helped us change over our new motorbike paperwork into our name.

SHELLY HYNER “helpful, informative and the job was sorted”

Really happy with the service I received with the Transfer of documentation on a recently purchased 2nd hand car.

Used their service to transfer the ownership of a secondhand car. Rude customer service, and they refused to send the documents after they came back undelivered. Had to set up a courier myself. They told me they would only communicate with my partner (even though I was paying) to not waste time. They do the job, but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Marcel Ruijken “they make it quick and easy”

I used to do my own transfers .but as it has become more complicated it is more covienient to have a cost effective ally to complete the paperwork .. and SEA is my go to place for assistance .

Justyna Rys “all was resolved perfectly”

Highly recommended! I bought a car and realised the procedure will require more time then I can dedicate considering I am working (bureaucracy here is a pain). I was a bit sceptical at the beginning since I am based Barcelona and wasn't sure how will that work. But all was resolved perfectly. They even provided me with an English speaking agent for car insurance. On top of that their offer was also better then the one offered in Barcelona. I will not think twice next time I need something.

Jenny Turner “Received my VUT licence in 48 hours”

Amazing service. Received my VUT licence in 48 hours. 100% professional organisation. Friendly and straightforward to deal with. It would have taken me days to trawl through the Spanish system.

Incredible! I couldn't be more impressed with SEA. I was buying a Spanish reg car in the UK, and needed to get all the paperwork for the transfer done online.
