Leith

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.

FAQ
Tow Truck Service Edinburgh FAQ
The most common questions about tow truck service in Edinburgh. If yours isn't here, call us directly.
How much does a tow truck cost in Edinburgh?
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 Edinburgh?
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 Edinburgh?
Depends on traffic and distance — we give an accurate ETA on the call, typically 18-40 minutes for local jobs.
Do you cover Newbridge Industrial Estate and the wider logistics area?
Yes, including Newbridge, Ratho, and the wider Lothian border area.
