## Recovery services

**Breakdown recovery** from the roadside, motorway hard shoulder or your driveway
to a garage of your choice.

**Accident recovery** including vehicles that cannot roll or steer, loaded with 
care using winches and skates.

**Non-starters**: flat batteries, failed starters, wrong fuel and electrical faults.
We will try a jump start first where it is safe to do so.

**Flatbed transport** for cars, vans, classic cars, non-runners and vehicles bought
at auction, locally or nationwide.

**Motorcycle recovery** with proper wheel chocks and soft straps.

**Low and modified vehicles** using long ramps to avoid damage to bodywork and splitters.

## What happens when you call

1

We ask where you are, what the vehicle is and whether anyone is hurt or in danger.
If you are on a motorway, we will talk you through staying safe.

2

You get a fixed price for the recovery and an honest arrival time.

3

Our driver loads the vehicle, secures it and takes it where you need it to go. You
can travel in the cab with us.

## Pricing

Local recovery is a fixed fee that includes loading and the first few miles, with
a clear per-mile rate beyond that. Long-distance transport is quoted as a single
price for the job. There is nothing added when we arrive. We accept card, bank transfer
and cash.

## Frequently asked questions

### Are you insured to carry my vehicle?

Yes. We carry recovery operator insurance that covers your vehicle while it is loaded,
in transit and being unloaded.

### Can you tow an automatic or a four-wheel drive?

Yes. Automatics, 4x4s and electric vehicles should never be towed with wheels on
the ground, which is why we use flatbed trucks for everything.

### I have breakdown cover. Why would I call you?

Many customers call us when their cover quotes a wait of several hours, when the
policy does not cover their situation, or when they want the car taken to a specific
garage rather than the nearest one.

## Stuck right now?

Do not wait at the roadside wondering who to call. One phone call gets a fitter 
or recovery truck on the way.
