Breakdown Recovery in Putney — 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 Putney?
Putney is about 16.9 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually around an hour, normally coming in via Putney High Street (A219) and Upper Richmond Road (A205). 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 SW15?
Yes — every street in SW15, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Wandsworth, Southfields, Wandsworth Town and Roehampton, 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 Putney station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Putney, 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 Putney High Street — what should I do?
That is a main road, so safety first: if the car can roll, get it to the kerb or into a side road, switch on your hazards, and wait somewhere safe away from the traffic — not in the car. Then ring 07961 100260. Red routes and bus lanes are enforced quickly, so we prioritise moving vehicles off them.
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 Putney?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Putney, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
