When you need a tow truck
It isn’t road legal
Failed its MOT, or declared off the road? It can travel on our truck instead of being driven.
You’ve bought or sold a non-runner
We collect it, then deliver it to the new address.
It’s going to a garage or bodyshop
If it can’t be driven there safely, we take it.
It’s broken down
If it can’t be fixed at the roadside, we carry it to someone who can fix it. See car breakdown recovery.

Car towing questions
What’s the difference between towing and recovery?
People use both words for the same job. We carry your car on a flatbed truck rather than pulling it on a rope or bar, which is safer for the car.
Can I book a tow in advance?
Yes, tell us the collection and delivery addresses and when you’d like it done.
Can you tow a car that doesn’t run?
Yes, we winch non-running cars onto the truck. Tell us if the wheels roll and the steering turns.
How much does a tow truck cost?
Call-out prices start from £75 for a small hatchback, £85 for a medium car and £95 for an SUV or larger car. Distance changes the price, and we tell you the full figure before you book.
How quickly can a tow truck get to me?
Around Reading it’s usually about 30–45 minutes, depending on traffic and the jobs we’re on. Wherever you’ve broken down, call as soon as it’s safe and you’ll get your free quote and arrival time straight away.
Do you tow at night and at weekends?
Yes, we’re open 24 hours a day, every day. Nights, weekends and bank holidays cost more, and that’s always included in the price we give you before you book.
No membership needed for car towing
You don’t need a policy before you call us. You pay only for the job you need, which usually works out cheaper than paying every month. See pay as you go car towing.
