The MOT is the one bit of car ownership everybody puts off, usually because of the faff of getting there and getting back. We take that part away entirely.
How it works
- Tell us your registration and where the vehicle is. We will confirm your MOT due date.
- We collect the vehicle from your home or workplace at a time that suits you.
- The MOT is carried out, and we call you before any additional work is authorised.
- We return the vehicle to you with the certificate and the paperwork.
Repairs and retests
Where a vehicle fails, we can carry out the repairs ourselves and put it straight back in for the retest, so you are not chasing two different places. You will always get a clear price before any work starts, and we will tell you honestly which advisories genuinely need attention now and which can wait.
A useful reminder
You can have your MOT done up to one month minus a day before it expires and keep the same renewal date. Leaving it until the last day means that if something fails, the car is off the road until it is fixed. Book it early — it costs nothing extra.

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.
