The A3 is the main road from London to Portsmouth, running as a fast dual carriageway from Wandsworth and Tibbet’s Corner out through Kingston, Tolworth and Esher to the M25 interchange at Wisley and on to Guildford. When you need A3 recovery, a breakdown on the hard shoulder or a collision at a busy point like the Robin Hood roundabout, Tolworth or the M25 J10 at Wisley is stressful and dangerous. We work the A3 corridor, so car recovery and A3 breakdown recovery are fast, safe and fairly priced, day or night.

Local coverage across the A3
We cover the A3 from the South Circular at Wandsworth, through Tibbet’s Corner and the Robin Hood roundabout at Kingston Vale, Tolworth and Hook, Esher and Painshill, the M25 Junction 10 interchange at Wisley, Ripley and on towards Guildford. Wherever you are stopped on the carriageway or a slip road, our A3 recovery team can reach you.
Our trucks know the A3 and its junctions: the A205 South Circular at Wandsworth, the A219 at Tibbet’s Corner, the A309 at Tolworth, the A307 and A244 at Esher, the M25 Junction 10 interchange at Wisley, and the A3/A31 at Guildford. We respond quickly where the A3 runs at speed and a safe recovery is essential.
Local knowledge is vital for A3 recovery. The Robin Hood roundabout, Tolworth junction and the M25 J10 interchange at Wisley are among the busiest points on the route, several stretches run fast with limited hard shoulder, and traffic backs up badly at peak times. We know the safe places to stop, the quickest access from each junction, and how to load a vehicle without exposing you to live lanes.
How A3 car recovery works
From your call to a recovered vehicle, in four simple steps.
1. Call us
Tell us where you are on the A3, your vehicle and the problem. We give a firm price and a realistic arrival time.
2. We dispatch
The nearest available operator heads to you, with live updates so you are never left wondering.
3. Fix or recover
If we can get you going at the roadside we will. If not, we safely load and recover your vehicle.
4. Drop off
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 on the A3
A few quick steps keep you safe while you wait for recovery.
Get to safety
Pull over 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 a barrier and do not place a triangle.
Note your location
Look for a street name, building, junction or marker post. It helps us reach you faster and confirm the nearest safe access point.
