The E13 Vintage Cars Service
Every E13 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:
- Soft straps, no chassis stress
- Fragile-vehicle experience
- Non-runner vintage recovery
- Fully insured transit
- Gentle low-speed loading
E13 Local Coverage
Plaistow — that’s E13, and it’s covered 24/7. The district connects to E12, E14 and E11 and the wider Newham network via Romford Road, which is exactly how our drivers route in.
Permit Zones, CPZs & Narrow Roads
Much of E13 is controlled parking — permit zones, tight terraced streets around Plaistow, cars both sides. Our trucks are sized for exactly this, and drivers who work E13 and E12 and E14 every week know which corners a flatbed can actually take.
The Four-Step Callout
Simple by design, because you’re standing at the roadside:
- Call 07538 716531. “E13, near Plaistow” is enough — we’ll pin the exact spot together.
- We send whoever is closest — often already working the E13 patch — with an ETA around 30–60 minutes.
- 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
Will you handle my vintage car carefully?
Always. Vintage vehicles across E13 are loaded slowly with soft straps and no chassis contact to protect their originality. For E13 callouts, the dispatcher will confirm any details specific to your street.
Will vintage cars in E13 cost me more than elsewhere in London?
From £60 for a standard callout in E13, quoted up front over the phone. No callout fee for the quote itself.
How long until a driver reaches E13?
Yes — we run 24/7, and night jobs in E13 are often quicker than daytime because the roads are clear. Expect roughly 30–60 minutes.
The streets around Plaistow are really narrow — can a recovery truck get in?
Yes. We match the vehicle to the street, and drivers who work E13 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.
