Service 01 — Breakdown Recovery

Breakdown Recovery in Dundee & Angus

A breakdown never comes at a good time. Whether your car won't start on the drive, a warning light has left you stranded on the A90, or you've simply run out of fuel, one call gets a local driver on the way to you — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Breakdown recovery means getting you and your vehicle safely off the road and back to where you need to be when something goes wrong. You'll need us for the everyday things — a car that won't turn over, an overheating engine, a clutch or gearbox that's given up, being out of fuel — and for the moments when you're stuck somewhere you'd rather not be, in the dark or in bad weather. Whatever's happened, you don't have to work it out on your own.

When you call, we agree a fixed quote and a realistic ETA on the spot — no meter running, no out-of-hours surcharge, no nasty surprise when the driver arrives. The nearest driver is dispatched straight to you and we'll keep you updated until we're there. Where the fault can be fixed at the roadside, we'll get you moving again then and there. Where it can't, we'll recover your vehicle safely to your home, your chosen garage or wherever you're headed.

If you're waiting at the roadside at night, stay in a safe place — behind a barrier where there is one, with your hazards on. We do this every night of the week across Dundee, Angus and Tayside, and we'll talk you through what to do while we're on our way.

What this covers

  • Cars, vans, motorcycles and light commercial vehicles
  • Roadside diagnosis to work out what's actually wrong
  • Recovery to your home, a garage or your onward destination
  • A jump start where a flat battery is the whole problem
  • A wheel change where a tyre is all that's stopping you
  • Help if you're out of fuel, overheating or simply won't start
  • Recovery from awkward spots — driveways, car parks and verges

Breakdown Recovery — questions

How quickly can you get to me if I've broken down?
From our Dundee base we typically reach breakdowns across Dundee and Angus within 30 to 45 minutes, depending on where you are, the traffic and the conditions. When you call we'll give you a realistic ETA straight away so you know exactly how long to wait.
Will you try to fix it at the roadside or just tow it?
We always try to get you moving again at the roadside first. A jump start, a wheel change or a quick diagnosis is often all it takes. If the fault can't be safely fixed where you are, we'll recover your vehicle to your home, a garage or wherever suits you.
Can you recover me if I'm not a member of a breakdown club?
Yes. You don't need to be a member of any breakdown club or motoring organisation. Just call us direct, we'll agree a fixed quote on the phone and send a driver out to you, day or night.
