Breakdown Assistance

Breakdown Assistance

Not every breakdown needs a recovery truck. Our drivers carry the kit to jump-start a flat battery, do basic roadside fault-finding, and get you back on the road there and then — and if we can't, we'll recover you properly instead.

What's included
Jump starts & battery diagnosis
Roadside fault-finding
Fuel delivery (petrol & diesel)
Tyre change assistance
Lock-out and key-related roadside help

A lot of breakdowns turn out to be quick fixes — a battery that just needs a jump, a tank that's run dry, a tyre that needs swapping for the spare. Our drivers carry the kit to sort these at the roadside, so a good chunk of the calls we get never turn into a full recovery at all.

If it's something we can't fix on the spot — a fault that needs a diagnostic computer, a part that's failed — we'll say so honestly rather than fiddling around, and move straight to recovering you instead. Not sure what's actually wrong? Our common breakdown causes page runs through the usual suspects and what each one usually means.
