WHEN IT’S AN EMERGENCY RECOVERY
Emergency recovery is for the moments when where you’ve stopped matters as much as why: a motorway, a busy junction, a fast road or anywhere you can’t safely wait. We plan the job around getting you and the vehicle out of danger first, then take the car or van home, to your garage or to another address you choose.
If you’re safely parked and the car just won’t go, that’s a standard breakdown recovery. If it’s late at night or a bank holiday, our 24 hour recovery line is the same number, answered by the same operator.
Motorway breakdown
Stopped on the M6, M5, M42 or a smart motorway, on the hard shoulder or in an emergency area.
Junctions & roundabouts
Stalled at lights, on a slip road or on a busy island where the vehicle is blocking traffic.
Unsafe roadside
A narrow verge, a bend, a dark A-road or anywhere you don't feel safe waiting with the vehicle.
Stuck with passengers
Children, elderly passengers or a vulnerable driver who shouldn't be left at the roadside for long.

QUESTIONS
EMERGENCY RECOVERY QUESTIONS
What counts as an emergency recovery?
Anywhere the vehicle is causing a danger or you can't safely wait with it: a motorway, a live lane, a junction, a fast A-road or an unlit roadside. Tell us that first when you call so we can plan the job around it.
Should I call 999 or you?
If anyone is hurt, the vehicle is in a live lane you can't leave safely, or there is immediate danger, call 999 first. Once everyone is safe, call us to recover the vehicle.
Do you do emergency van recovery?
Yes. Emergency car and van recovery is the same call. Tell us the van's make, model and roughly what's on board.
How fast can you get to me?
Across our core Birmingham area the average response is 30–45 minutes. Motorway traffic and your exact position affect that, so we give you a live estimate on the phone.
NEED RECOVERY NOW?
Tell us where you are and what you’re driving. We’ll take it from there.
