Breaking down, running out of fuel or having an accident is stressful enough without being passed between a call centre and a string of contractors. CityGrip brings every roadside service under one roof: whatever has gone wrong, you make one call, speak to a real operator, and get a firm price and a realistic arrival time before anyone is dispatched. That single point of contact is why so many drivers, fleets and traders across London keep our number saved.
Our operators handle cars, vans, 4x4s, electric and hybrid vehicles and motorcycles, on flatbeds and the right equipment for each job, so nothing is towed in a way that risks further damage. We work every kind of location, from a permit bay on a Central London red route to a hard shoulder on the M25, and we know the access rules, restrictions and quickest routes in each. Whether you need a two-minute jump start or a long-distance recovery to a garage of your choice, the same fair, transparent pricing applies.
Above all, we are built around being genuinely useful in a bad moment: honest advice on whether a repair or a recovery is the right call, no upselling, and free recovery, storage and a courtesy car if your accident was not your fault. Explore the individual services below for full details and pricing, or simply call and we will point you to the right help.

1. Call us
Tell us where you are, what you drive and what has gone wrong. We give a firm price and a realistic arrival time before we dispatch.
2. We dispatch
The nearest available local operator heads straight to you, with updates so you are never left wondering where help is.
3. Fix or recover
If we can get you going at the roadside we will. If not, we safely load and recover your vehicle on the right equipment.
4. Done
We take your vehicle wherever you need, home, a garage or onward, and settle the agreed price. No surprises.
What to do if you break down or have an accident
A few quick steps keep you safe while you wait for recovery.
Get to safety
Pull as far from traffic as you can, switch on your hazard lights and, if it is safe, leave the vehicle from the side away from passing traffic.
Make yourself visible
Put on a hi-vis if you have one and use a warning triangle on normal roads. On a motorway or red route, stay behind the barrier and do not place a triangle.
Note your location
Look for a street name, junction, building or marker post. It helps us reach you faster and confirm the nearest safe access point.
Call CityGrip
Ring 07960 200253. We confirm your location and price, then dispatch the nearest operator straight to you, 24 hours a day.
