Breakdown Recovery in New Addington, Croydon
When a car gives up in New Addington, the two things that matter are how soon somebody arrives and whether they can actually move it. We run our own recovery trucks out of Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so there is no middleman passing your job down a list. We take your location, your vehicle and what has happened, then send the nearest truck.
Our breakdown recovery service in New Addington covers everything from a car that will not start on the drive to one that has stopped dead on Lodge Lane. We recover to your home, a garage of your choice, or our own workshop in Erith, where we can diagnose and repair it ourselves.

Breakdown Recovery in New Addington — FAQs
What information do you need when I ring?
Where you are (a postcode, road name or what3words is ideal), the make, model and registration, and what the car is doing — will not start, lost power, warning light, noise. Tell us too if it has no keys, will not roll or is somewhere with a height barrier. With that we can give you a fixed price and an honest arrival time on the first call.
How quickly can you reach me in New Addington?
New Addington is about 12.5 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 Lodge Lane and King Henry's Drive. 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.
Where will you take my car?
Wherever you want it to go — home, your own garage, a main dealer, or our workshop in Erith, where we can diagnose and repair it ourselves. If you are not sure, we can store it securely at our yard overnight while you decide.
Do you cover all of CR0?
Yes — every street in CR0, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Addington, Selsdon, West Wickham and Keston, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Can I travel in the recovery truck with you?
Yes, in most cases. Our trucks carry passengers, so you and usually one other adult can ride with us. If you have more people, children needing car seats or a pet, tell us when you ring so we can plan for it.
My car won't start at New Addington tram stop station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in New Addington, 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.
Do I need to be a member to use your breakdown service?
No. There is no membership and no annual fee — you pay for the job you need, at a price agreed before we set off. Many of our customers are AA or RAC members who have been quoted a long wait and would rather pay to be moved now.
I have broken down on Lodge Lane — 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.
Can you recover vans, 4x4s and motorbikes?
Yes. We recover cars, vans, 4x4s, motorbikes and light commercials. For larger vans, loaded vehicles or anything unusual, tell us the details when you ring so we send the right truck.
Are you open at night and at weekends in New Addington?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across New Addington, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
