Truck stopped in Digbeth with a DPF warning. Roadway's mechanic was with me in 16 minutes. Cleared the fault with a forced regen, checked the sensors. Drove away without going anywhere near a garage. Fantastic.

Three trucks in our fleet have been attended by Roadway Assist this year. Every time — fast, qualified, real fix. Not just a patch job. These are proper mechanics, not just recovery drivers.

The Situation
“Fridays are my biggest day — 16 drops remaining on the A435 approaching Kings Norton. My Vivaro went into limp mode. DPF warning solid, power cut to 30%. I had a medical prescription delivery and a timed food box in there.”

“She called at 2:44pm. Roadway's mechanic arrived at 3:02pm — 18 minutes. DPF forced regen completed roadside in 25 minutes. Fault codes cleared, engine returned to full power. Angie was driving again at 3:28pm.”
The Outcome
“All 16 remaining drops completed. Medical prescription delivered at 4:15pm — within window. Angie has since set up a trade account covering her three vans.”
