Our team responds quickly and operates safely, even in challenging locations or busy traffic conditions. We understand the stress that comes with being stranded, so we make sure you always feel supported, reassured and kept informed.

Recovery from Multi-Storey Car Parks, Gardens & Hard-to-Reach Areas

Some scrap cars fail in the worst possible places. Whether your car is stuck on a top floor of a multi-storey, buried in a garden, trapped in mud or blocked inside a garage, we have the tools and experience to extract it safely.

We regularly recover cars from:

  • Tight parking bays
  • Basements and underground car parks
  • Overgrown gardens
  • Soft ground or mud
  • Behind locked gates
  • Garages with no room to manoeuvre
  • Private estates and restricted areas

Thanks to specialist equipment such as Hiab lifting, we can remove cars that will not roll, steer or start.
