Safety advice
If you've broken down, stay safe first
If it's an emergency, call 999 first
If anyone is injured, if your vehicle is in a live traffic lane, or if there is any immediate danger, contact the emergency services before anything else. Your safety comes first.
If you've broken down or had an incident
- Get yourself and passengers to a safe place, away from moving traffic where possible.
- Switch on hazard lights and, if you have one and it's safe, place a warning triangle well behind the vehicle.
- Wear a hi-vis vest if you have one, especially at night or in poor weather.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover the whole of Glasgow?
We focus on Glasgow and the surrounding areas, including the main routes through the city and nearby towns such as Paisley, East Kilbride, Hamilton and Clydebank. Tell us your postcode when you get in touch and we'll work from there.
What kinds of vehicles can be recovered?
The recovery support we help connect drivers with typically covers cars, vans, SUVs and non-running vehicles, as well as accident-damaged vehicles that need transporting to a garage, home or bodyshop.
Are you a 24-hour service?
We are currently in our launch phase and are preparing round-the-clock routing. We don't want to promise 24-hour dispatch before it's genuinely in place, so please submit a request and we'll be clear about what's available.
How much does recovery cost?
Costs depend on the vehicle, distance and situation, so we don't publish fixed prices during launch. When you submit a request we can be upfront about what to expect rather than quoting a figure that might not fit your case.
Can you take my car to a specific garage?
In most cases recovery can take a vehicle to a garage, your home, or another destination you choose. Add the destination to your request if you already know where you'd like the vehicle taken.
