Car recovery in Hucknall: what we can help with
- Breakdown recovery: when your car won't start, has a warning light that makes it unsafe to drive, or has stopped altogether.
- Accident recovery: collecting a damaged vehicle once the scene is safe, and with police agreement if officers are there.
- Van recovery: panel vans, long-wheelbase vans and Lutons.
- Motorcycle recovery: motorbikes, mopeds and scooters.
If the problem is a flat battery, a puncture or an empty tank, roadside assistance may get you going where you are, with a jump start, a wheel change or fuel delivery. For a move on a date you choose, see planned vehicle transport.
Cost, payment and arrival time
Price. Our call-outs start from £70. That's a starting price, not a fixed charge: your quote depends on the vehicle, where it has stopped, how it needs to be loaded and where it's going. Our guide to what changes the price explains each factor.
Payment. We confirm the full price on the call, and payment is always taken before the truck is sent.
If a roadside fix doesn't work. Before we set off for a jump start, wheel change or fuel delivery, we tell you what the attempt costs and what recovery would cost if it's still needed.
Arrival. You'll get an estimated arrival time based on your location, traffic and the jobs already under way, and we'll update you if it changes. It's an estimate, not a fixed time.
Already covered? Your insurer, bank account or a warranty may include breakdown help, so check first. If you're not sure, read our guide to being broken down without breakdown cover.
What to tell us when you call from Hucknall
Where the vehicle is. The street and the nearest junction, or the postcode. A WhatsApp location pin helps if you're not sure of the address. Then add whatever applies:
- On the A611: which way you're heading, towards Bulwell and Nottingham or towards Annesley and the M1, and the nearest junction or roundabout.
- On another main road: for example Watnall Road, Wighay Road or Papplewick Lane, and the nearest side road.
- In the town centre: part of High Street is pedestrianised. Tell us exactly where the vehicle is, then the nearest road leading to it if you know it.
- At the station or tram stop, or in another car park: the car park, the bay or row, and any barrier or height limit on the way in.
- Near a level crossing: give the road name or crossing name, and say whether the vehicle is on the crossing or safely clear of it.
- On Hucknall Road or Hucknall Lane in Bulwell or Sherwood: say so. Those roads are in the City of Nottingham, not in Hucknall, so we need the postcode or a pin.
The vehicle. Registration, make and model; what happened; and whether it rolls, steers and brakes.
The job. Where the vehicle is going and whether anyone needs to travel with it. Up to two passengers can ride in the truck if it's agreed when you book. The owner, or someone the owner has authorised, needs to be there with the keys unless we've agreed something else.
Breaking down at a level crossing, on the A611 or on the M1
On a level crossing. Hucknall has level crossings on the railway line through the town. If your vehicle breaks down on one, the Highway Code (rule 299) says to get everyone out of the vehicle and clear of the crossing immediately. If there's a railway telephone, use it to tell the signal operator what's happened and do as they say. Only move the vehicle off if there's time before a train arrives. If the alarm sounds or the amber light comes on, leave it and get clear at once. Call us when everyone is safe.
On the A611 or another fast road. Get off the road if you can do it without a risky manoeuvre, and put your hazard lights on, plus sidelights in the dark or poor visibility. If it's safe to get out, leave on the side away from the traffic, move well clear, and don't stand between the vehicle and oncoming traffic.
On the M1. Leave at the next exit or pull into a service area if possible. Otherwise, move left into an emergency area or onto the hard shoulder if you can. If it's safe, get out by the left-hand door and wait behind the barrier, well away from the traffic. Don't put out a warning triangle. If you cannot safely leave the vehicle and get well away from moving traffic, stay inside with your seatbelt and hazard lights on, call 999 and ask for the police.
The Highway Code's breakdown rules cover all of this. Whether we can reach a vehicle on a fast road or motorway depends on where it has stopped, safe access, and any instructions from the police or traffic officers.
Where we can take your vehicle
- A garage, your home, or another address you choose.
- A garage that's closed: only if it's arranged before we set off, with a safe place to leave the vehicle and a secure way to hand over the keys.
- Storage: there's no yard in Hucknall. Storage is available at our yard in Long Eaton, Derbyshire, by agreement. It's charged separately, and we confirm the rate before the vehicle goes in. See our terms and conditions.
