What to do when you break down
Move to a safe location if you can do so without creating additional risk. On high-speed roads, follow the instructions of the road operator or emergency services and do not remain in a dangerous live-traffic position just to wait for a recovery vehicle.
For the recovery quote, send a location pin or clear road/junction description. We also need to know whether the vehicle starts, rolls, steers and selects neutral. A car with a locked wheel or transmission stuck in park can require a different loading approach from a straightforward breakdown.
Where we recover from
We take enquiries across London, including North and West London, the A406, A40 and routes toward the M1, M4 and M25. Motorway and high-speed-road jobs are quoted separately because access, dead mileage and truck time can be materially different from an ordinary local pickup.
Typical breakdown movements
- Vehicle to a chosen repair garage.
- Vehicle back to a home address.
- Non-runner collection after an electrical or mechanical fault.
- Recovery after a failed jump start.
- Recovery where a tyre/wheel issue prevents safe onward travel.
Straightforward local car recovery starts from £79. The final price is confirmed before dispatch.
