If you do not know the street name, a landmark is just as good: Fremlin Walk, Mote Park, Maidstone Hospital and County Hall, or the stations at Maidstone East and Maidstone West. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
What it costs in Maidstone
You will know the cost before we commit to anything. Where the vehicle is, where it needs to go, what it is and whether anything makes it awkward — no keys, will not roll, a tight spot — all change the work involved. Once we have agreed a figure, that is what you pay — nothing is added afterwards. We take card and bank transfer.

Accident Recovery in Maidstone — FAQs
What should I do straight after an accident?
Make sure everyone is safe and call 999 if anyone is hurt or the road is blocked. Swap details with the other driver, take photos of the scene and the damage, and then ring us on 07961 100260. If the police are on scene, tell them we are on our way.
How quickly can you reach me in Maidstone?
Maidstone is about 21.1 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 M20 junctions 5–7 and A229. 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.
Will my insurer pay for the recovery?
Often, yes — accident recovery is usually part of a claim. Keep the reference number we give you and pass it to your insurer or claims company. We are happy to speak to them directly and send our invoice and storage details.
Do you cover all of ME14, ME15, ME16?
Yes — every street in ME14, ME15, ME16, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Chatham, Rochester, Gillingham and Sittingbourne, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Can you store my car while the claim is sorted?
Yes. We can keep the vehicle at our gated, monitored yard in Erith until your insurer decides whether to repair or write it off. You can visit to collect belongings by arrangement.
My car won't start at Maidstone East station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Maidstone, 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.
Can you repair the damage as well?
Yes. Our own workshop handles accident and bodywork repairs, so if you want, the car can go straight from recovery into repair without a second tow. If your insurer insists on an approved repairer, we will deliver it there instead.
I have broken down on M20 junctions 5–7 — 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.
Do you clear the road after a collision?
Yes. We clear debris and deal with minor fluid spills so the road can reopen, and we work alongside the police and highways teams where they are involved.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Maidstone?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Maidstone, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
