Recovery and roadside assistance across Vauxhall
The Vauxhall gyratory is one of the busiest junctions in London and among the worst places to stop. If you can, roll onto a side street such as Bondway or Parry Street before calling — we will tell you where is safe.
Whether you are stuck on Vauxhall gyratory, outside your home or in the car park at Vauxhall station, we will come to you. Vauxhall is about 12.9 miles from our Erith yard, and a real person answers the phone 24 hours a day.
When you ring 07961 100260, a person answers. We take your location, the vehicle details and what has happened, and you get a fixed price and a realistic arrival window before you put the phone down. Our driver rings you again as they approach, so you are not standing there wondering.

Fixed prices, no surprises
Every job is different, so we price each one on its own merits rather than reading from a list. Where the vehicle is, where it is going, what it is, and whether anything makes it awkward — no keys, will not roll, needs winching out of a tight spot — all of it changes the work involved. Tell us and we will give you a fixed figure for your job before we set off, with no obligation. That figure is then the price you pay.
What to do while you wait
If you are on a dual carriageway or motorway, get to the hard shoulder or an emergency refuge area if you possibly can, put your hazards on, leave the vehicle by the left-hand doors and wait behind the barrier rather than in the car. On residential streets, park as far to the left as you can and stay visible. Keep your phone charged and to hand — our driver will call you.
Questions about recovery in Vauxhall
How quickly can you reach me in Vauxhall?
Vauxhall is about 12.9 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 40 minutes to an hour, normally coming in via Vauxhall gyratory and Wandsworth Road (A3036). Traffic, the time of day and how many jobs are running all move that, so when you ring 07961 100260 we give you a real window for that moment rather than a best case.
Do you cover all of SE11, SW8?
Yes — every street in SE11, SW8, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Oval, Nine Elms, Lambeth and Kennington, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
My car won't start at Vauxhall station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Vauxhall, usually for a flat battery after the car has sat all day. Tell us which car park and roughly where you are parked. If it has a height barrier or a pay-on-exit gate, mention that too and we will send the right vehicle and sort the exit with you.
I have broken down on Vauxhall gyratory — what should I do?
Put your hazards on, stay visible and ring 07961 100260. Give us the nearest house number or junction and we will tell you exactly where we will load. If the street is tightly parked we may winch the car out rather than reverse in, so it helps to know how much space there is.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Vauxhall?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Vauxhall, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
What does recovery in Vauxhall cost?
Every job is different, so we quote each one individually rather than working from a price list. What it costs depends on where the vehicle is, where it needs to go, what sort of vehicle it is and whether anything about it makes the job harder — no keys, will not roll, stuck somewhere awkward. Tell us those things and we will give you a fixed figure on the phone, with no obligation.
Can you recover a vehicle from private land in Vauxhall?
Yes, provided you are the registered keeper or have the landowner's permission. If the vehicle is in a multi-storey car park or somewhere with a height restriction, please mention it when you ring so we send the right truck.
