Tyre Services
Do you carry all tyre sizes?
We carry a wide range of common tyre sizes in our vans. For less common sizes, we can usually source and fit within a few hours. Let us know your tyre size when you call.
What brands of tyres do you fit?
We offer budget, mid-range, and premium brands including Michelin, Continental, Pirelli, Bridgestone, and quality budget options. We'll discuss options and pricing before any work begins.
Can you repair my puncture instead of replacing the tyre?
If the puncture is in the tread area and meets safety standards, we can often repair it for less than a replacement. We'll assess and advise you honestly on the best option.
How much does a tyre replacement cost?
Prices vary depending on tyre size and brand. Budget tyres typically start from around £60-80 fitted, mid-range from £80-120, and premium from £120+. We'll always quote before starting work.
Vehicle Recovery
What types of vehicles do you recover?
We recover cars, vans, SUVs, 4x4s, and motorcycles. For larger commercial vehicles, please call to discuss your requirements.
Where can you tow my vehicle?
We can tow to your home, a garage of your choice, or any other location within our coverage area. Just let us know where you need it taken.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes, all vehicles are fully insured while in our care. We have £5 million public liability insurance for your peace of mind.
Jump Start & Battery
Will a jump start damage my car?
When done correctly with proper equipment, a jump start is completely safe. Our technicians use professional tools and follow correct procedures to protect your vehicle's electronics.
What if my battery is completely dead?
If your battery can't hold a charge, we can fit a replacement battery on the spot. We carry a range of quality batteries suitable for most vehicles.
How much does a jump start cost?
Jump start prices typically start from around £50-70 depending on your location. If you need a new battery, we'll quote separately for supply and fitting.
Wrong Fuel
I've put petrol in my diesel — what should I do?
DON'T start the engine or turn on the ignition. This is crucial to prevent damage. Call us immediately and we'll come to drain the wrong fuel and get you going again.
What if I've already driven the car?
Stop as soon as it's safe to do so. The sooner you stop, the less potential damage. We can still help — call us immediately.
How long does wrong fuel recovery take?
The fuel drain process typically takes 20-30 minutes depending on tank size and fuel level. We'll have you back on the road as quickly as possible.
Payment & Pricing
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major debit and credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. A deposit (booking/dispatch fee) is required to dispatch a technician. The remaining balance is paid to the technician on arrival by card or cash upon completion of service.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
Our pricing is transparent and all-inclusive. We'll give you a full quote over the phone before dispatching a technician, so you know exactly what you'll pay.
Is VAT included in your prices?
Yes, all prices we quote include VAT. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges.
