Frequently Asked Questions
The car park is too low for a truck — can you help?
Yes. We bring your vehicle out to street level using low-profile recovery skates, then load it onto the flatbed outside anywhere in W8. For W8 callouts, the dispatcher will confirm any details specific to your street.
What does low-clearance garages cost in W8?
No — W8 is standard-rate territory for us, from £60. You get the exact price on the phone before you commit.
How long until a driver reaches W8?
Around Kensington we average 30–60 minutes — you’ll get a live ETA on the call, not a vague window.
The streets around Kensington are really narrow — can a recovery truck get in?
Yes. We match the vehicle to the street, and drivers who work W8 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.
