24/7 breakdown recovery in Essex means we’re on call to reach your vehicle, fix it on the spot if possible, or transport it safely to your chosen destination. We combine quick dispatch with specialist recovery trucks to minimise downtime and stress, getting you back on the road or to a repair shop fast.
We handle electrical faults, engine problems, clutch or gearbox failures, cooling issues, and immobiliser lockouts across Essex.
Every situation is resolved with a roadside fix or secure transport to a workshop or your home, so you’re taken care of.
This process ensures every breakdown ends with a fix or transport, without unnecessary delays.
Our 24/7 breakdown recovery covers cars, vans, motorcycles, 4x4s, SUVs, EVs and light commercial trucks, so every driver, from solo riders to fleet managers, gets the same expert kit and care.
Our roadside assistance delivers immediate fixes for common problems, jump-starts, tyre changes, fuel delivery, and minor adjustments, so you avoid a full recovery where possible.
Our roadside assistance covers three key call-outs:
Our teams arrive fully equipped to handle these issues, ensuring your vehicle is safe to continue its journey or ready for a planned recovery if further repairs are needed.
Our emergency jump-start connects a portable power pack to your battery terminals, supplying the current to crank the engine and restore charging. It’s a safe, efficient method that avoids jump leads and gets you moving.
Our teams carry mobile tyre kits and specialised lockout tools. We can change your flat tyre or safely unlock your doors without damage. Once sorted, you’re back on your way, often without a tow.
Local teams reach you faster, with direct depot contact for clear updates, and route around traffic and roadworks to arrive promptly.
Our car transport starts with a thorough pre-transport check. Your vehicle is securely loaded onto a hydraulic flatbed or enclosed carrier. Drivers follow optimised routes for timely delivery, then complete a post-unloading check to confirm the condition.
Vehicle Type | Protective Measure | Dispatch Frequency |
|---|---|---|
Classic Cars | Custom cradle straps | Scheduled on demand |
Motorcycles | Wheel chocks and ratchet ties | Daily departures |
Vans and Trucks | Adjustable wheel locks | Multiple runs each week |
Electric Vehicles | Insulated straps and pads | Flexible scheduling |
Auction vehicle transport collects from auction sites and delivers to your home or dealership, with real-time updates and secure loading. For classic cars, we use soft-strap restraints and climate-controlled carriers to protect delicate finishes and components.
We ensure safety with hydraulic platform levelling, secure immobilisation using high-tensile straps, and shock-absorbing pads to prevent movement in transit. Our equipment is regularly maintained, and drivers receive ongoing training to ensure safe carriage on every journey.
Emergency towing is essential after collisions, immobilising faults, or severe breakdowns where roadside repairs aren’t feasible. Our teams deploy specialised recovery vehicles, from flatbeds to heavy-duty units, matched to the incident’s needs.
Our emergency towing services include:
Each service dispatches the right equipment to handle the load safely and efficiently.
Accident recovery secures the scene, extracts vehicles from difficult positions, and loads them safely onto a flatbed. Our technicians clear debris and liaise with you to arrange repairs or storage.
Our round-the-clock towing means no waiting for office hours, reducing the risk of secondary incidents and ensuring support anytime. Prompt arrival improves roadside safety and reduces stress.
