Most car recoveries in Cornwall come down to distance. The county is long and thin, the towns sit a fair way apart, and the fast route between them is one road. That is why a car that fails at Indian Queens feels very different to a car that fails on a lane above Zennor, even though the fault might be identical. We plan the job around where you actually are rather than around a map of postcodes.

We load on a flatbed wherever we can, because it keeps all four wheels off the road and it is the safest option for automatics, four wheel drive and anything with low ground clearance. Where a flatbed genuinely cannot get to you, on a narrow lane or a tight car park deck, we say so on the call and bring the equipment that can.

Once your car is loaded, you choose where it goes. A garage you already use, a main dealer, your home, your holiday address, or a place we can suggest if you do not know the area. You travel with the vehicle, so nobody is left standing on a verge waiting for a lift.

You do not need a membership, a policy number or an account with us. You need a phone signal and a rough idea of where you are. If you have neither a landmark nor a road name, a what3words address or a dropped pin from your phone is enough for us to find you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I tell you where I am if I do not know the road?

Send us a what3words address or a pin from your phone's map app. Failing that, the last junction, services or village sign you passed is usually enough for us to place you.

Can you take my car to a garage that is closed right now?

Yes. Plenty of our night jobs end with a car left securely on a garage forecourt with the keys handled the way that garage asks. Tell us where it is going and we will sort the details.

Will my car fit on your truck?

Standard cars, estates and small vans all load without any trouble. If yours is lowered, very long, or has been modified, mention it on the call so we send the right vehicle first time.

Do you recover electric and hybrid cars?

Yes. Electric and hybrid vehicles go on a flatbed rather than being towed, which is exactly how we load anyway.

Can you get to me on a single track lane?

Usually yes, and it is a large part of what we do here. Tell us if the lane is high hedged or has no passing place, because that decides which truck we send.
