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.

FAQ
Tow Truck Service York FAQ
The most common questions about tow truck service in York. If yours isn't here, call us directly.
How much does a tow truck cost in York?
Price depends on distance, vehicle type, and equipment needed. Fixed quote given on the call before dispatch.
Can you tow a car with no wheels?
Yes — our flatbed trucks winch vehicles on with no need for the wheels to roll.
Can you tow a low or sports car safely in York?
Yes. Our flatbed and low-loader trucks use extended ramps and low approach angles specifically for splitters and low-clearance vehicles.
What's the difference between flatbed and spec lift?
Flatbed lifts the whole vehicle off the ground — safest for low, classic, or prestige cars. Spec lift raises only the front or rear wheels — faster and cheaper for standard cars moving short distances.
Do you tow motorbikes?
Yes, using dedicated bike-loading flatbed equipment with soft straps.
How long does a tow take in York?
Depends on traffic and distance — we give an accurate ETA on the call, typically 18-40 minutes for local jobs.
Do you cover Clifton Moor Industrial Estate and the wider logistics area?
Yes, including Clifton Moor, York Business Park, and the wider North Yorkshire trade corridor.
