What we do in Watford Gap Services
Breakdown recovery
Car won't start, warning light, flat battery or a breakdown on the road: we pick it up and take it where it needs to go.
Accident recovery
After an accident we collect the vehicle and keep it in our secure compound. You pay nothing on the spot: your insurer covers it.
Towing & vehicle transport
Non-runners, garage moves, MOT and repair trips, cars bought from a seller: moved on a flatbed, not towed on the road.
Off-road & ditch recovery
Slid into a ditch, stuck in a field or on a verge, or immobilised after bad weather: we winch it out and take it away.
Jump start & fuel delivery
Flat battery or an empty tank: we come to you, so you can drive on without being recovered.
EV & caravan recovery
Electric cars carried on the flatbed with all wheels off the ground; caravans and vans up to 3.5 tonnes moved safely.
