Seasonal TipWinter: Battery failures spike in cold weather. If your vehicle is slow to start, get it checked before it leaves you stranded.

Planning to drive through Sancreed? Check your tyre pressures before you go — the A30 surface can be unforgiving on under-inflated tyres.

Real-World Scenario

Equipment We Carry

Our recovery trucks carry heavy-duty winch cables rated to 5 tonnes, a full set of securing straps and wheel chocks, towing brackets for all common vehicles, and emergency lighting for safe roadside operations. Every truck is equipped with a first aid kit and fire extinguisher.
