Van died on me near Cowley, right by the retail park, bit of a nightmare spot with the traffic. Called them not expecting a quick answer this early but a real person picked up straight away. Jump start sorted within 20 mins.

Searching HGV recovery near me Oxford at 3am on the A34, one of our fleet lorries just stopped near the bypass. They knew Cowley'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 Summertown, they diagnosed a fuel fault roadside and had it moving within the hour. Would use again without hesitation.

Ran out of fuel near Iffley, 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 Marston, 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 Wolvercote, 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.
