Car packed in down near Leith docks, cold and dark and not fun. Called and someone actually answered right away, not a machine. Jump started it within 20 mins, sound service.

Locked out of my own car outside the shops on Morningside Road, felt daft. Chap got me back in without a scratch on it, very patient and polite, took about quarter of an hour.

Puncture near Liberton on a Saturday, was sure I'd be waiting hours. Wasn't the case at all, fitter was there in about 25 minutes and repaired it rather than pushing a full replacement on me.

What We Fix At The Roadside

What We Fix At The Roadside

Roadside assistance vs recovery — what's the difference? Roadside assistance means we fix the problem where your vehicle is. Recovery means towing it away. We always attempt the roadside fix first — if recovery is needed after all, we arrange it immediately, only if the fault genuinely can't be resolved on site. If it becomes a genuine emergency, we prioritise your dispatch.

Roadside First, Towing Only If We Must

Why We Try To Fix It
Before We Tow It

Towing away is the last resort, not the first move. Here's why a roadside fix is almost always the better option in Edinburgh.

01
01

Faster
For You

A roadside fix takes 15–30 minutes; a tow plus a garage visit takes hours.

02

Cheaper
For You

FAQ

Roadside Assistance
Edinburgh FAQ

The most common questions about roadside assistance in Edinburgh. If yours isn't here, call us directly.

What is roadside assistance and how is it different from recovery?
Roadside assistance means we diagnose and fix your vehicle where it's stopped — jump starts, fuel delivery, tyre changes, lockouts. Recovery means towing the vehicle away. We always attempt the roadside fix first.
Is there roadside assistance near me in Edinburgh?
Yes. Roadway Assist covers all of Edinburgh with technicians carrying genuine diagnostic and repair kit, not just a tow truck. Call 07782 622388 and a real person answers immediately.
Can you jump start my car in Edinburgh?
Yes. We diagnose whether the battery is deeply discharged or genuinely failing, jump start on site, and replace the battery same visit if it's confirmed faulty.
What if I've run out of fuel in Edinburgh?
We deliver fuel directly to your exact Edinburgh location — no need to walk to a petrol station.
Can you fix a flat tyre at the roadside in Edinburgh?
Yes. We assess whether the puncture is safely repairable or needs a full replacement, and carry stock for both.
What if I'm locked out of my car in Edinburgh?
We attempt non-destructive entry methods first. If that's not possible, we advise on the safest next step.
How much does roadside assistance cost in Edinburgh?
No call-out fee. Fixed price quoted before dispatch based on the likely fault — no membership required.
Do you operate 24 hours in Edinburgh?
Yes, 24/7, 365 days a year, including weekends and bank holidays.
