Breakdown Recovery in Horley and Gatwick

The car will not start, will not drive, or has stopped somewhere it really should not have. A flatbed, a driver on the way, and a price before anything moves.

What we come out to

On a motorway, reach a place of relative safety if you can and switch on your hazards. Leave the vehicle only if it is safe, using the side away from traffic, and wait away from the carriageway. If you cannot get out safely, stay belted in and call 999 for the police. Follow the official guidance before arranging recovery.

Full motorway safety steps

When safe to call, give the road and direction, nearest junction or location marker, make and model, fault, whether it rolls and steers, and destination. For collision damage, see accident recovery.

A breakdown can mean several things. It will not turn over. It turns over and will not fire. It got hot and you did the sensible thing and stopped. Something started making a noise that you were right not to ignore.

We are not a mobile mechanic. Beyond getting a flat battery going, we do not try to repair cars at the roadside. What we do is get the vehicle off the road and somewhere useful, which is usually your garage or your own driveway.

  • Will not start, will not turn over, or turns over and will not fire
  • Overheating, warning lights, or a noise that appeared out of nowhere
  • Clutch, gearbox, or a wheel that has stopped turning
  • Flat battery, where a jump start is often the quicker answer
  • Out of fuel and stuck somewhere you cannot walk away from
  • Blown tyre with no spare and no space-saver in the boot

Put the wrong fuel in? That is a tank-draining job and a specialist does it properly. Call and we will point you at one rather than take your money for the wrong service.

How it works

What happens when you call

  1. Tell us where you are

    Call or text with the location, what you are driving and what it is doing. A map pin is perfect if you have one.

  2. Get the price first

    We agree the job and price before the truck sets off. Any additional work is explained and agreed with you first.

  3. The truck comes to you

    Loaded properly, strapped down, and taken to your home, your garage or wherever you need it.

No breakdown cover? You do not need any

You can arrange one-off recovery without an annual membership. If you already have cover, check what it includes before booking a separate service.

There is nothing to join, no annual fee and no membership to buy before you are allowed to be helped. You pay once, for the one job in front of you.

Broken down with no cover? What to do

What it costs

Everything here is how the job actually runs, written by the people who take the calls and drive out to them. More about that.

How a price is worked out

Where you are, where the vehicle is going, and what it takes to load it. We agree the job and price before setting off. Any additional work is explained and agreed with you first.

Tell us where the vehicle is, what has happened and where it needs to go. We agree the job and price before setting off. If the location, vehicle condition or requested work changes, we explain any extra work and agree the price with you before carrying it out.

Questions

Breakdown questions

What should I do if my car breaks down?
On a motorway, reach a place of relative safety if you can and switch on your hazards. Leave the vehicle only if it is safe, using the side away from traffic, and wait away from the carriageway. If you cannot get out safely, stay belted in and call 999 for the police. Follow the official guidance before arranging recovery.
Who do I call when my car breaks down?
If you have cover, ring whoever you pay for it. If they will not take the car where you want it to go, ring a local firm instead. You pay once, for the one job.
How long will I be waiting?
That depends on where you are and what the trucks are already doing. You are told when you call, and told again if it changes. Nobody here gives you a time and then goes quiet.
What if it happens at night?
The phone is answered day and night. Call for current availability and an arrival estimate for your location.
Do motorway services deal with breakdowns?
A service area is a place of relative safety. Ask staff about local arrangements, and check your existing cover before booking recovery. If authorities are managing the incident, follow their instructions.
Can you fix it at the roadside?
Sometimes. A flat battery often just needs a jump start and you drive away. Anything more than that is a garage job, so the sensible move is to get the car to one rather than guess at the kerb.
