Our 24/7 Vehicle Recovery in Edinburgh

When your vehicle breaks down in Edinburgh, the stress can be overwhelming, especially with the city’s unique geography and busy thoroughfares. From the narrow, winding streets of the Old Town to the bustling commuter routes through Corstorphine and Leith, our recovery team possesses the local knowledge required to reach you quickly. We understand that Edinburgh’s weather can be unpredictable, making a roadside breakdown not just inconvenient, but potentially dangerous during the haul of a haar or a winter freeze.\n\nOur fleet of recovery trucks is strategically positioned across the city, allowing us to navigate the traffic hotspots like the Sheriffhall Roundabout or the bypass with ease. Whether you have suffered a mechanical failure, a flat tyre, or an unfortunate collision, we provide a seamless service that prioritizes your safety and the security of your vehicle. We don't just tow your car; we ensure you are looked after from the moment you call until your vehicle is at a garage or your home address.

Emergency 24/7 Assistance in Edinburgh

Emergency situations don't stick to a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do we.

We pride ourselves on being Edinburgh’s go-to recovery partner for those moments when things go wrong on the M8 or the A1.\n\nOur dispatch team is familiar with all the major arterial roads, including the M9 towards Stirling and the A702 south. If you find yourself stranded in the dead of night, you can trust our drivers to arrive in a marked, professional recovery vehicle, equipped with the latest tools to either get you back on the road or transport you to safety. We maintain a fleet that is capable of handling the steep inclines and cobbled streets that make Edinburgh beautiful but challenging for recovery work.

Vehicles We Recover

No two recoveries are exactly the same, which is why we maintain a versatile fleet capable of handling various vehicle types. From compact city cars perfect for navigating the Grassmarket to heavy-duty 4x4s frequently found in the outlying rural areas of Midlothian, we have the right equipment for the job. Our flatbed trailers are ideal for luxury vehicles and low-suspension sports cars, ensuring they are transported without a scratch.\n\nWe also cater to light commercial vehicles, helping Edinburgh’s businesses stay moving. If your delivery van has broken down near the Omni Centre or your trade vehicle is stuck on the M8, we can recover it quickly to minimize your downtime. We even handle motorcycles and classic cars, treating every vehicle with the utmost care and respect. If it has wheels, chances are we can recover it safely and efficiently.
