Car Breakdown - 365 Days

Motorways

Prices related to towing aren't always based on mileage. It's sometimes the situation people will ring around and ask for a cheaper price. I do not transport cars. My towing services are for drivers broken down along a busy motorway.

Direct, Local Service

Direct local services means it's a very straight forward arrangement. I ask all customers to make payment by bank transfer. I do not accept cash. I will not negotiate my price. I may block a person if they are rude or aggressive.

No Hidden Fees

My prices will reflect the job or what vehicle needs towing. After investing into a heavy goods vehicle my costs have to be considered. Prices are given upfront so there's no hidden fees.

A Fair Deal, Always

Interestingly my tow truck is a heavy goods vehicle. It's heavily regulated by government rules and the insurance is expensive. A fair deal always as I have to operate safely and ensure my truck is highly maintained.

30 Years Towing Experience. 25 years class one driving experience. I would estimate I've towed over 30,000 cars and vans over the last decade. I am extremely good at helping drivers in difficult places.

— Simon, Breakdown Man

I help drivers broken down and charge an appropriate fee for towing services I provide. As its towing and a breakdown recovery service, I tow vehicles disabled or broken down. I do not transport vehicles from A to B. Please do not contact myself if you're unwilling to pay as a customer. Unfortunately our costs are extremely high and we operate mainly along the motorways as a compliant towing service.

Covering Every Corner of Wigan

Rapid Rescue Recovery

I'm usually just around the corner. Whether you've broken down at the shops, outside a hospital, or on a quiet residential street — Let's get the job done together.

Local Locations

Car won't start after a day out? I cover all the major spots — The Grand Arcade, Robin Park retail and leisure, and match days at the DW Stadium. Staying local its respectable to every one to work locally to where I'm based.

Heavy Towing Services

The last thing you need is to hire the wrong company. Heavy winching or heavy vehicle? It's often suv, 4x4, electric or hybrid. Heavy vehicles are now more common. Heavy towing services I provide are for rapid rescue and recovery off the nine motorways around the north west.

Did You Know?

Did you know not all tow trucks carry the same weight of vehicles. Some can not carry sports cars or low fronted cars. How a car is moved is equally important to avoid damage. Did you know towing services are often limited to a radius and in some cases require an operator licence. If a company has misleading information it can leave the person uninsured. Please understand I help broken down cars or commercials only. I do not tow heavy goods or anything over permitted weights.
