Our Car Recovery Services in West Yorkshire
Breakdown Recovery
Car won’t start, or stopped halfway through a journey? We’ll come to you, work out what’s gone wrong and, where we can, get you moving again. If it needs a garage, we’ll recover your car safely and take it wherever you choose. You’ll know the plan and the price before we start, so there are no surprises on the day.
Vehicle Recovery & Towing
Whether your car needs to go to a garage, your driveway or your workplace, we’ll take it there. Our recovery trucks move cars carefully, from small hatchbacks to larger 4x4s, and we load and secure every vehicle properly. Just tell us where it is and where it’s going, and we’ll give you a clear quote before we move it.
Accident Recovery
After a collision, the last thing you need is more stress. We recover accident-damaged cars, including ones that can’t be driven, can’t steer or have locked wheels. We’ll take your car safely to a garage, body shop or home, and keep you updated throughout, so you can focus on everything else that needs sorting.
Motorway Breakdown Recovery
Breaking down on the M62, M1 or A1(M) is stressful and risky. Get yourself and your passengers to safety first, then call us with your junction number or marker post. We’ll reach you as quickly as we can and recover your car safely, so you’re not left beside fast traffic any longer than necessary. If you’re in immediate danger, call 999 first.
Electric Vehicle Recovery
Electric vehicles shouldn’t always be towed like petrol or diesel cars, so we use flatbed transport to move your EV with all its wheels off the road. Whether it’s a flat battery, a warning light or an unexpected stop, tell us the make and model when you call, and we’ll send the right truck and plan the safest way to move it.
Winch Recovery
Slid off the road into mud, snow or a ditch? Don’t keep revving, because that usually digs you in deeper. Our winch recovery pulls vehicles out of verges, fields, farm tracks and soft ground with care, to limit damage to your car. Tell us where you are and what the ground is like, and we’ll bring the right kit.
Wrong Fuel Recovery
Put petrol in a diesel, or diesel in a petrol? Don’t start the engine, and ideally don’t turn the ignition on. Running it can spread the wrong fuel through the system and push repair costs up. Call us and we’ll recover your car to a safe place where the tank can be drained properly before you drive again.
Car Transporter & Vehicle Transport
Not every car that needs moving has broken down. Bought a car at auction or online, changing dealerships, or moving a vehicle between garages? Our car transporter and vehicle transport service moves it safely from A to B, so you don’t have to risk the miles yourself. Tell us the pick-up and drop-off, and we’ll quote clearly.
Emergency Car Recovery, Available 24/7
Breakdowns don’t keep office hours. Our 24/7 car recovery runs every day of the year, including nights, weekends and bank holidays, so you can get emergency car recovery and emergency vehicle recovery when it matters most. When you call, we’ll ask:
- Where are you? A road name, junction or landmark is fine, or share a GPS pin.
- Are you safe? If not, we’ll talk you through it first.
- What’s happened? Flat battery, accident, wrong fuel, warning light, or a non-runner.
- What’s the vehicle? Make, model and type (automatic, EV, van, motorbike) so we send the right truck.
You’ll get a clear plan and a price before we begin.
