Not every job is an emergency. We move a great many vehicles by appointment: cars bought at auction or online, project cars that are not road legal, SORN vehicles that cannot be driven at all, and trade deliveries for local garages and dealers.
What we move
- Single vehicle collection and delivery, locally and nationwide
- Non-runners, no-key and seized-engine vehicles winched onto the flatbed
- Classics and project cars, strapped properly and treated with care
- Dealer and trade deliveries with proof of collection
- Motorcycles with correct chocks and soft loop straps
Getting an accurate price
We need four things: the collection postcode, the delivery postcode, the make and model, and whether the vehicle rolls, steers and brakes. That last one matters enormously — a car that will not roll needs winching, which is a different job. Mention anything unusual too: no keys, low ride height, oversized wheels, or a tight garage to get out of. Surprises on site are what turn a fixed price into a revised one.
Before you drive an auction car home
A car that has been standing for months has soft brakes, perished tyres and old fuel. A long drive home is a harsh way to find out what is wrong with it. Transporting it costs less than the recovery you might otherwise need halfway.

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.
