A breakdown never happens at a convenient moment. Our recovery trucks are on the road twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, including bank holidays and Christmas Day. There is always someone to answer the phone, and always someone able to reach you.
When you call 07961 100260, we take your location, your vehicle details and a short description of the fault. You get a fixed price and a realistic arrival window before you hang up — not a vague promise. Our driver rings you again when they are close, so you are never left wondering.

Where we cover
We are based at Standard Wharf on Manor Road in Erith, which puts us minutes from the A2, A20, M25 Junctions 1a and 2, and the Dartford Crossing. From there we cover more than twenty-five areas across London, Kent and Surrey — from Erith, Bexleyheath and Dartford through Greenwich, Shoreditch and Islington to Hammersmith, Fulham, Richmond, Wembley, Greenford, Ilford and out as far as Banstead and Selsdon. Have a look at the areas we cover, and we travel further afield by arrangement.
What it costs
Our minimum callout is quoted individually which covers the the work involved. Anything beyond that is charged at agreed up front. You are told the total on the phone before we set off, and that is the price you pay.
While you wait
If you are on a motorway or dual carriageway, get to the hard shoulder or an emergency refuge area if you possibly can, put your hazard lights on, leave the vehicle by the left-hand doors and wait behind the barrier. On smaller roads, stay visible and well clear of moving traffic. Keep your phone to hand — our driver will call you.

Questions we get asked
I searched for vehicle recovery near me — how close are you?
Our yard is at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road in Erith, DA8 2AD, and every truck starts from there. If you are in Bexley, Dartford, Greenwich or anywhere in that belt we are usually with you inside half an hour. Further into London or out towards Medway and Maidstone it is closer to an hour. Ring us with your postcode and we will give you a real number rather than a hopeful one — and if somebody closer would genuinely reach you faster in an emergency, we will say so.
Do you do MOTs and servicing as well as recovery?
Yes, and it is a bigger part of what we do than most people realise. We MOT, service and repair vehicles at our own workshop in Erith, and we collect and deliver free of charge across London and Kent — so you do not need to take a morning off to sit in a waiting room. If the MOT turns up work, we can do it there and then rather than sending you somewhere else, and we stock new and used parts ourselves.
Can you fit a tyre at the roadside, or only tow the car?
Both. If you have a serviceable spare we will change the wheel where you are. If you have no spare — and most new cars are sold without one — we can bring a replacement tyre out and fit it on the spot. Tell us the tyre size when you ring; it is on the sidewall, something like 205/55 R16. The exception is a fast road or a motorway, where we recover the car somewhere safe first, because kneeling beside a live carriageway is how people get hurt.
How quickly can you get to me?
Across our home patch — Erith, Belvedere, Bexleyheath, Crayford, Welling and Dartford — we are typically with you inside 30 to 60 minutes. Further out across London it depends on distance and traffic, and we are honest about that: when you ring, we give you a realistic arrival window based on where our nearest truck actually is, rather than an optimistic guess. If traffic changes it, we call you and tell you.
Are you really available 24 hours?
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including Christmas Day and bank holidays. There is always a real person answering 07961 100260 — no call centre, no queue, no automated menu.
