Call 07960 200253 for immediate dispatch.
The A12 is one of the busiest routes out of east London, running from the Blackwall approaches through Bow, Redbridge and the Gants Hill junctions, past Romford and Brentwood and on to Chelmsford and Essex. A breakdown in a live lane, a flat battery at the Redbridge roundabout, or a collision on a fast slip road here needs a quick, safe response. We work the A12 corridor daily and reach stranded drivers fast.

Local coverage across the A12
We cover the A12 through our patch: the Blackwall and Bow approaches, the Redbridge roundabout and Gants Hill, the Eastern Avenue sections through Ilford, the Romford and Gallows Corner junctions, and out through Brentwood to Chelmsford. Wherever you are stopped on the carriageway or a slip road, we can reach you.
Our trucks know the A12 and its junctions: the Blackwall Tunnel approach and the A11 at Bow, the Redbridge roundabout, Eastern Avenue, Gallows Corner where the A12 meets the A127, the M25 Junction 28 at Brentwood and the Chelmsford approaches. We respond quickly on the fast sections where a safe recovery is essential.
Local knowledge is vital on the A12. Gallows Corner and the Redbridge roundabout are constant bottlenecks, the M25 J28 interchange stays congested, and several stretches are fast with limited stopping. We know the safe places to stop, the quickest junction access, and how to load without exposing you to live lanes.
How A12 car recovery works
From your call to a recovered vehicle, in four simple steps.
1. Call us
Tell us where you are on the A12, 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 A12
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.
Call CityGrip
Ring 07960 200253. We confirm your location and price, then dispatch the nearest operator straight to you.
Transparent A12 recovery prices

| Car recovery and breakdown | from £80 |
| Jump start | from £60 |
| Fuel delivery | from £95 plus fuel |
| Tyre change | from £90 |

A12 recovery reviews
Real feedback from drivers we have helped in and around the A12.
Accident damage in east London left my car undriveable. They recovered it quickly, protected the evidence for my claim and I paid nothing. Could not fault them.
Jennifer L., the A12
Had a non-fault accident in east London and they sorted recovery, storage and a courtesy car at no cost to me. Took all the stress out of a bad day. Highly recommended.
James W., the A12
Stranded in east London after hours and every national line had me on hold. CityGrip picked up first ring, gave a real arrival time and turned up early. Lifesavers.
Aisha K., the A12
Battery died late at night in east London and they answered straight away. Technician with me in under 25 minutes and a fair price agreed before he set off. Brilliant 24 hour service.
Liam C., the A12
Flat battery on a Sunday in east London. Called, they came within half an hour, boosted it and gave honest advice on whether it needed replacing. Proper professional service.
Sarah P., the A12
Misfuelled the car near east London. They drained and flushed the tank at the roadside and I was back on the road the same evening. Fast, fair and friendly.
Daniel O., the A12
