Permit Zones, CPZs & Narrow Roads
Inner-London streets around Shepherd’s Bush mean CPZs, rat-runs and not much room to work. We position the truck once, load efficiently, and if you’ve broken down outside your own home we can complete the whole ev towing job from a resident bay without drama.
Electric Vehicle (EV) Safe Towing, W12-Style
This isn’t a generic breakdown package — it’s soft straps and careful, low-angle loading built for delicate or high-value vehicles, delivered by drivers who work W12 regularly. As standard you get:
- Delivery to charger or garage
- Flatbed-only, wheels-up transit
- Protects EV drivetrain & battery
- High-voltage aware handling
- Out-of-charge recovery
Inside the W12 District
The W12 district takes in Shepherd’s Bush, sitting within Hammersmith and Fulham. It borders W11, W13 and W10, all of which we cover with the same drivers — so if you’re right on a district boundary, it makes no difference to your ETA.
From W12 Breakdown to Back on the Road
Here’s the sequence once you dial 07538 716531 from W12:
- Ring 07538 716531; if all you know is “W12, somewhere near Shepherd’s Bush”, that’s plenty to dispatch on.
- You get a live ETA on the call (about 30–60 minutes for W12), not a callback queue.

- We deliver discreetly to your chosen address, on time and mark-free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t my EV be towed on its wheels?
Rolling an EV can damage its motors and regenerative system. We always flatbed electric vehicles across W12 with the wheels clear of the road. For W12 callouts, the dispatcher will confirm any details specific to your street.
Will ev towing in W12 cost me more than elsewhere in London?
From £60 for a standard callout in W12, quoted up front over the phone. No callout fee for the quote itself.
What’s the realistic ETA for Shepherd’s Bush?
Yes — we run 24/7, and night jobs in W12 are often quicker than daytime because the roads are clear. Expect roughly 30–60 minutes.
The streets around Shepherd’s Bush are really narrow — can a recovery truck get in?
Yes. We match the vehicle to the street, and drivers who work W12 weekly know which roads take a full flatbed and which need a more compact truck. Tell us your road name and we’ll send the right one first time.
