Van died on me right on the seafront near Hove, embarrassing spot to break down in. Called them not expecting a quick answer but someone picked up straight away. Jump start sorted within 20 mins, back on with my day.

Searching HGV recovery near me Brighton at 3am on the A23, one of our fleet lorries just stopped near the London approach. They knew exactly where to send the truck and had the Hollingbury site access sorted before they even arrived. Sorted within 40 mins.

As a fleet coordinator I deal with breakdown callouts regularly and this was one of the better experiences. Lorry stuck near Hollingbury Industrial Estate, they diagnosed a fuel fault roadside and had it moving within the hour. Genuinely useful when you're managing several vehicles at once.

Ran out of fuel near Moulsecoomb, silly mistake on my part. They didn't make me feel daft about it, just delivered fuel straight to me and I was off again in 20 mins.

HGV air brake fault near Patcham, pressure warning going off which is never a good sign. Diagnosed the relay valve on site and fixed it there and then, saved us a full recovery job which would've cost way more.

Puncture right by Rottingdean, coastal road so a slightly awkward spot to be stuck. Fitter found us fine though, repaired rather than pushed a new tyre on us which I appreciated, saved a bit of money too.
