Real-World Scenario

Gearbox failure? Whether it's an automatic stuck in park or a manual that won't engage gear, gearbox problems mean your vehicle isn't going anywhere under its own power. Flatbed recovery is the only safe option — towing a vehicle with gearbox issues can cause catastrophic damage.

What NOT to Do

Never try to tow a broken-down vehicle with a rope unless you know the exact procedure — incorrect towing can cause steering lock, transmission damage, or a collision.

Why Breakdown Recovery Is Needed in Tywardreath

Our local presence means we're ideally placed to respond.

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.

Pricing — No Hidden Fees

Recovery costs depend on vehicle size, distance, time of day, and the complexity of the recovery. A straightforward roadside pickup costs less than a ditch recovery requiring winching. We always quote upfront — the price we give is the price you pay.
