Van died near Clifton, right by the green, bit of an awkward spot with all the traffic. Called them not expecting a quick answer this early but a real person picked up straight away. Jump start sorted in about 20 mins.

Searching HGV recovery near me York at 3am on the A64, one of our fleet lorries just stopped near the outer bypass. They knew Clifton Moor's gate procedures already which saved a lot of back and forth on the phone. Sorted within 40 mins.

As a fleet coordinator I deal with breakdown callouts regularly and this was genuinely one of the smoother ones. Lorry stuck near Haxby, they diagnosed a fuel fault roadside and had it moving within the hour. Would use again without hesitation.

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

HGV air brake fault near Rawcliffe, could hear the 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 a lot more.

Puncture right by Heworth, awkward spot for anyone to reach quickly. Fitter found us fine though, repaired rather than pushed a new tyre on us which I really appreciated, saved a bit of money too.

Yes. Full A64 and A1237 coverage, with Highways England coordinated before hard shoulder attendance.

Yes. Refrigerated truck recovery operates under our time-critical load protocol — temperature window confirmed on the call.
