Breakdown Recovery and Towing Bolton

Ensure you are safe by pulling over to a secure spot, turning on your hazard lights, and exiting the vehicle safely. If on a motorway, stand behind a safety barrier. Use a hi-vis item and place a warning triangle behind the vehicle if possible​.

Yes, you can call a breakdown service directly for immediate assistance, but this will incur a higher cost compared to pre-arranged cover. Many services offer pay-as-you-go options or instant cover that includes a call-out fee​.

You can get emergency breakdown cover after your vehicle has broken down by calling a breakdown provider. This will typically include an emergency call-out fee and possibly higher rates for the immediate assistance provided​.

Costs can vary widely but expect to pay a significant fee for emergency call-outs, especially if you require towing. Fees can range from £100 upwards, depending on the service provider and the nature of the assistance required​.

If it’s a minor issue and you feel confident and safe, such as changing a flat tire, you can attempt to fix it yourself. However, for more serious issues or if you’re on a busy road, it’s safer to call for professional assistance​.
