Absolute life saver, we were stranded and car wouldn’t go and within 45 minutes they were there. Such a friendly wonderful driver, felt at ease straight away to the point me and my fella fell asleep on the way back (sorry Camy!!). 100% would recommend, and if I ever need anything again I will be ringing these.

The customer had experienced a delayed flight before also suffering a clutch issue, making for a very frustrating day. With a journey of around 60 miles still ahead, they booked our service at approximately 2am. Our recovery truck arrived on time and ensured they reached home safely, giving them the opportunity to get some much-needed rest after a series of disappointments.

The customer experienced a sudden power issue while driving but did an excellent job of safely leaving the motorway and reaching the nearest service area. Once safely off the motorway, they contacted us for vehicle transport.

After receiving our competitive quote, the customer booked immediately, and we arranged recovery of the vehicle. We hope the repair is covered under warranty, providing some peace of mind following the unexpected breakdown.

A tarmac company working overnight experienced an issue with a trailer wheel, leaving their trailer unable to continue its journey. The trailer needed to be returned to their yard in Sheffield from Manchester.

We recovered the trailer and safely stored it overnight before arranging delivery the following morning.

Happy to recommend. Recently needed a tow home and got quotes from a number of local companies. S.M. was the cheapest (by a third!) and was out to me within half an hour. Everything was arranged via WhatsApp and payment was online via a Stripe link. A courteous and cheerful service throughout.

After an unfortunate incident, the customer made the sensible and safe decision not to drive and instead arranged a lift back nearly 60 miles away. We appreciate that responsible choice. Despite the situation, we were still able to provide the service and look after the customer throughout. Thank you for using our services and for leaving us a review.

Jump start carried out at around 6:00 AM. The vehicle was located in a multi-storey car park, which required additional effort to access as trucks are not permitted inside. Successfully started the vehicle and advised the customer to reach out if any further assistance is needed. Thank you for using our services and for leaving us a review.

The customer’s car clutch failed in a multi-storey car park in central Manchester, which required manual effort to move the vehicle out safely. We provided a quote upfront, and the customer booked our service immediately. Our team quickly arranged additional support to push the vehicle out of the car park and transported it to the garage without delay.
