Frequently Asked Questions
My gearbox won’t engage — is a flatbed safe?
Absolutely. With the wheels winched onto the bed there’s no strain on the transmission, so we can move any mechanically failed vehicle in SW7 safely. In SW7 specifically, ask the driver anything else when they call with the ETA.
How is mechanical breakdown priced for SW7?

How long until a driver reaches SW7?
Around South Kensington we average 30–60 minutes — you’ll get a live ETA on the call, not a vague window.
My car is in a resident permit bay in SW7 — is that a problem?
Not at all. Most of our SW7 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.
