Your questions answered
Before you arrange recovery.
Need advice about your particular vehicle or situation? Call us and explain what has happened.
07778 348703How quickly can you reach me?
Call with your exact location for an estimated arrival time. Availability, traffic, distance and the recovery situation affect how quickly we can attend.
How much will my recovery cost?
The price depends on your collection point and destination, the vehicle, its condition and any additional equipment or access requirements. We confirm the recovery price before you agree to the job.
Can you recover a vehicle that will not roll?
We assess non-rolling vehicles individually. Tell us which wheels are locked or damaged and whether the steering works. Photographs help us determine the loading equipment required.
What should I send for a ditch or mud recovery?
Send your location and photographs showing the whole vehicle, surrounding ground and the access available from the road. We use this information to assess whether a suitable extraction is possible.
Where can you take my vehicle?
We can recover a suitable vehicle to an agreed destination, such as your home, a garage, a bodyshop or a dealership. Tell us the destination when requesting your quote.
What help do you provide at the roadside?
Our focus is vehicle recovery and towing, with 12V / 24V jump-start assistance for suitable vehicles. Our roadside services are vehicle recovery, towing and suitable jump starts. Tyre fitting, fuel delivery and lockout assistance are not available.
