A few details make the first call easier

Have your registration, collection postcode and preferred destination ready. Tell us if the keys are missing, the wheels are locked or access is restricted. The answers below explain what we need and how to arrange help.

What information do you need for a recovery quote?

Tell us your collection location or postcode, vehicle make and model, what has happened, and where the vehicle needs to go. Let us know whether you have the keys and whether the vehicle can roll and steer. Mention any restricted access, locked wheels or visible damage so we can discuss suitable equipment and a price.

How quickly can you reach me?

Call for current availability. Arrival times depend on your location, traffic, the equipment required and existing jobs. We will discuss an estimated arrival time when arranging your recovery; a website enquiry does not confirm a booking.

Can you recover a vehicle with locked wheels or one stuck in park?

Contact us to discuss specialist recovery. Tell us which wheels are locked, whether the steering moves, whether you have the keys and how much space is available around the vehicle. Suitability and equipment need to be confirmed for the particular job.

Where can you take my vehicle?

Tell us your preferred destination, such as your home or a garage. We will discuss the route, access and availability before confirming the job. Check that the destination can receive the vehicle and that someone can release it at collection.

Can I arrange a collection in advance?

Contact us with the collection and delivery postcodes, preferred date and vehicle details. We will discuss availability, access and price before confirming the arrangements.

How much does recovery cost, and how can I pay?

The price depends on the journey, vehicle condition, access and equipment required. Ask for the agreed price and accepted payment methods when booking, including when payment is due. Tell us if the collection details or destination change so any effect on the price can be discussed.

Who should I contact after hours?

Call 07568 073738 for after-hours contact. The main telephone number is 0161 524 5771. You can also use WhatsApp on 07568 073738; for urgent assistance, call rather than relying on a message being read immediately.

Still have a question?

Describe the vehicle and the situation to our team. We can discuss the right service, access, destination and a quotation before you book.
