The N1 Lost Keys Towing Service
Every N1 callout runs on powered winch and recovery skates, meaning a tilting flatbed that lifts all four wheels off the road, so there is zero drivetrain wear. Here’s what’s included as standard:
- Delivery to dealer or key specialist
- Fully insured
- No-key recovery
- Locked & immobilised loading
- Skate & winch handling
Recovery on Residential Streets
N1’s residential streets weren’t built for recovery trucks — but ours work them daily, from Islington across to the N2 and N3 boundaries. Whether you’re boxed into a permit bay or stopped on a narrow through-road, we bring the right-sized vehicle for the street.
Know Your Way Around N1
We treat N1 as home ground: Angel and Islington, the boundary roads shared with N2, N3 and N4, and the routes in from the Islington side near Angel Islington. Name any corner of the district and a driver will know it.
What Happens After You Call
No apps, no membership numbers — the N1 callout is four steps:
- Ring 07538 716531; if all you know is “N1, somewhere near Islington”, that’s plenty to dispatch on.
- The nearest driver is dispatched with a live ETA, typically 30–60 minutes in this district.
- We winch your vehicle onto the tilting bed with all wheels off the ground.
- We deliver your vehicle safely to your home, garage or chosen address.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve lost my only key — can you still move the car?
Yes. Even with no keys we can skate and winch your vehicle onto the flatbed and deliver it to your home or a key specialist in N1. In N1 specifically, ask the driver anything else when they call with the ETA.
Will lost keys towing in N1 cost me more than elsewhere in London?
N1 jobs start from £60. The final price depends on the vehicle and exactly where in the district you are — call 07538 716531 and you’ll have a firm figure before anyone is dispatched.
What’s the realistic ETA for Angel?
Typically around 30–60 minutes. Because N1 shares a dispatch patch with N2, the nearest driver is often already close by.
My car is in a resident permit bay in N1 — is that a problem?
Not at all. Most of our N1 work happens on permit-controlled residential streets. The truck positions once, loads, and moves off — and if it’s your own bay outside your home, the whole job can be done from there.
