Local coverage across Bristol
We arrange recovery right across Bristol and the South West: Bristol City Centre, Clifton, Bedminster, Bishopston, Stokes Croft, Filton border, Brislington, Horfield. Wherever you are, on a main road, a residential street, a car park or the motorway, we identify the nearest available local operator and send them to you, then agree the price before anyone sets off, so there are no surprises when they arrive.
Our local operators know the Bristol road network: the M4, M5 and the M32 spur into the centre, the A4 Portway along the Avon Gorge, the A38 and A370, and the approaches to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Knowing these means a recovery truck reaches you quickly even when the M32 and the centre are congested.
Bristol is a hilly, historic city split by the Avon Gorge, with the M32 driving straight into the centre and the harbourside and Clifton adding tight, steep streets. The Clean Air Zone, the two universities and event traffic at Ashton Gate all shape a recovery. Our local operators know the Portway, the gorge approaches and the steep Clifton streets where loading a car takes care.

The nearest available operator heads to you, with live updates so you are never left wondering.
3. Fix or recover

What to do if you break down in Bristol
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.
