How Our Greenford Recovery Service Works
Getting help when you need it is simple. Here are the four steps from your call to being back on the road:
- Call us on 0750 880 0905 – tell us your location, your vehicle type and a brief description of the problem. A street name, postcode, landmark or nearby junction is enough for us to find you.
- We confirm a fixed price – based on your location, vehicle and the service required. No callout fee and no membership needed. The price we quote is the price you pay, with nothing added on arrival.
- We dispatch the nearest team – a recovery truck or mobile mechanic heads straight to you. We operate across Greenford and the wider London area around the clock, so response times are kept as short as possible.
- You’re recovered or repaired – if the fault can be rectified at the roadside we will do it there and then. If not, we load your vehicle safely onto a flatbed and take it exactly where you need it to go, whether that is a local garage, your home address or a main dealer.
