What Counts as a Breakdown

Most breakdowns happen at the worst possible moment: on the way to work, at a junction, in a supermarket car park, or on the hard shoulder of the M8. If your car or van will not start, will not go into gear, is overheating, or has a warning light you cannot ignore, that is a breakdown and it is exactly what our Glasgow recovery trucks deal with every day.

We recover cars, vans and light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tons, so whether it is a small hatchback that will not turn over or a work van that has died on a job, we can get it moved.

Common breakdown callouts we handle in Glasgow

Won't Start

Flat battery, ignition fault or electrical issue. If a jump start doesn't fix it, we recover the vehicle to a garage or your home.

Mechanical Failure

Timing belt, clutch, gearbox or engine problems. If it's not safe to drive, we load it and take it where it needs to go.

Punctures & Tyre Damage

No spare, or the damage is too severe to drive on. We'll get you and the vehicle off the road safely.

Overheating

Coolant loss or a failed water pump. Driving on can wreck the engine, so we recover rather than risk it.

Motorway Breakdowns

M8, M74, M77 and approach roads into Glasgow. We know the safest recovery points and work quickly.

Van & Light Commercial

Tradesmen and delivery drivers stuck mid-job. We recover up to 3.5 tons, tools and load included.
