Cars of every kind

From Everyday Cars to Prestige Saloons

Every car we recover travels on a flatbed with all four wheels off the road. That protects the gearbox, the bodywork and the tyres, which matters just as much for a ten-year-old hatchback as it does for a luxury saloon.

We recover cars from the roadside, driveways, car parks, garages and storage. Tell us the make and model, whether it rolls and steers, and where it needs to go. We’ll confirm the price before we set off and keep you updated until it’s delivered.

Why flatbed recovery

Better for Your Car

How we look after your car from collection to drop-off.

All Four Wheels Off the Road

No wear on the gearbox or tyres while your car is moved.

Soft Wheel Straps

Straps go over the tyres, not the bodywork or suspension.

Low Cars Handled Carefully

Splitters, skirts and low exhausts are planned for before loading.

Electric and Hybrid Cars

EVs and many automatics shouldn’t be towed on their wheels. A flatbed avoids that.

Condition Checked

We look over the car with you at collection and delivery.

Any Destination

Home, garage, dealer, body shop or storage.

Recovery line open 24/7

Electric and automatic cars

Why Some Cars Must Travel on a Flatbed

Many automatic, four-wheel-drive, hybrid and electric cars can be damaged if they’re towed with their driven wheels on the road. Manufacturers often say they should only be moved with all wheels off the ground.

Our flatbed recovery avoids that problem completely. If your car has an electronic parking brake that won’t release, or is stuck in Park, tell us when you call and we’ll plan how to load it safely.
