Van Motorway Recovery
- Engine and gearbox failures — vans work harder than cars and suffer more mechanical wear. Overheating, turbo failure, and clutch problems are the most common
- Flat batteries — especially in winter or after vans sit over weekends. We'll jump start you or recover you if the battery's dead
- Tyre blowouts — vans carry heavy loads that stress tyres. We provide mobile tyre fitting or recovery to a tyre centre
- Accident damage — our accident recovery service handles van collisions, including insurance liaison
- DPF and electrical faults — modern vans are packed with electronics that can fail. If it can't be fixed at the roadside, we'll tow you to a specialist
Van motorway recovery is often expensive and its often on the busiest places along the motorway a van typically breaks down. Driving a van often means a driver is relying on their vehicle for work or trying to earn a living. Lets be honest van road tax has risen and fuel prices have gone up.

Breakdown recovery — here's exactly what we do
What we do: We're a breakdown recovery service. If your car, van, motorhome or caravan has broken down, won't start, or you've had an accident, we'll come to you, try to sort it roadside, and if it can't be fixed on the spot we'll recover it on our flatbed to a garage of your choice or back home. That's the job, start to finish.
What we don't do: We don't move roadworthy cars from A to B, and we don't price by the mile. If your car is running fine and you just need it driven or delivered somewhere — a dealer, an auction, a new owner — that's vehicle transport, and it's a different job to ours. Every call we take on is a breakdown, an accident, or a vehicle that genuinely can't be driven.
Friendly, straight-talking help — 24/7.
Do you move cars from A to B?
No — we only recover vehicles that have broken down, been in an accident, or won't start. If your car is running and roadworthy and you just need it moved from one place to another, that's vehicle transport, not breakdown recovery, and it's not something we offer. A dedicated car transport or delivery company will be able to help instead.
Are you a vehicle transport company?
No. We're a local breakdown recovery team, based in Wigan. We recover broken-down, accident-damaged or non-runner vehicles to a garage or home address. We don't run a transport, logistics or vehicle delivery service, and we don't take on bulk or scheduled vehicle moves.
Do you quote by mileage?
No. Our price is based on the job — the situation, the vehicle, and where you are — not a mileage rate. If you're after a mileage-based transport quote, for example moving a car to a dealer, auction or new owner, that's not something we offer; a transport company will quote that way, we won't.
Why not do car transport too, since you've already got the truck?
Fair question — same truck, different job. Transport work is scheduled and priced by the mile; recovery is urgent and priced on the situation. Mixing the two would mean slower response for people who've genuinely broken down, which isn't fair on them. So we stick to recovery.
