Tow Truck and Vehicle Recovery for Bude and North Cornwall
Bude and the far north of Cornwall sit at the edge of our regular catchment. We attend Bude, Stratton, Boscastle, Tintagel and the surrounding villages, but the run from our Pool base is long — typically 75-90 minutes via the A39 Atlantic Highway. We're upfront about that: if a closer operator can reach you faster in an emergency, we'll say so.

Tow truck or recovery truck: the same call here
Many people search for a tow truck when what they need is a recovery truck. For us they are the same call-out: we load most vehicles onto a flatbed rather than towing them on their own wheels, which protects the gearbox and anything damaged underneath.
On the Atlantic Highway and the coastal lanes around Crackington and Widemouth, the loading spot matters. Tell us about any nearby lay-by, gateway or car park, and whether you are towing a caravan or trailer.
How long will a tow truck take to reach Bude?
Bude is at the edge of our regular area, so we always confirm a realistic arrival time on the call before you decide.
Can you recover a campervan near Widemouth Bay?
Yes. Camper and surf-van failures are regular north-coast calls. Give us the plated weight so we send the right truck.
Bude is at the edge of our regular zone. Call us first — we'll be honest about whether we're the right call or whether you should try a local operator.
