The A392 was built for far less traffic than it carries today, the area around Fistral Beach draws visitors down unfamiliar lanes, and Henver Road sees regular incidents. Newquay's population swells massively in summer, and the extra traffic on its winding coastal roads means breakdowns spike during tourist season. We respond to calls across Newquay every week.

Equipment We Carry

Our flatbed transport trucks feature hydraulic tilt beds for smooth loading, heavy-duty ratchet straps at multiple tie-down points, rubber-edged wheel chocks to prevent rolling, and protective padding for alloy wheels. Fully insured goods-in-transit coverage protects your vehicle throughout.

Pricing — No Hidden Fees

Transport costs are based on distance — the further we travel, the more it costs. We provide exact quotes based on your collection and delivery addresses. Loading non-runners with a winch may add a small surcharge.
