Local coverage across Edinburgh
We arrange recovery right across Edinburgh and the east of Scotland: Edinburgh City Centre, Leith, Morningside, Portobello, Corstorphine, Newington, Gorgie, Stockbridge. 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 Edinburgh road network: the A720 City Bypass, the M8 and M9 approaches, the A1, the A90 and the Queensferry Crossing approaches. Knowing these means a recovery truck reaches you quickly even when the City Bypass and the bridge approaches are congested.
Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital, ringed by the A720 City Bypass with a hilly, cobbled medieval Old Town and a Georgian New Town where parking is tight and controlled. Festival traffic in August, the trams, match days at Murrayfield and Tynecastle, and the bridge approaches all shape a recovery. Our local operators know the bypass junctions, the cobbled closes and the safe places to load.

From your call to a recovered vehicle, in four simple steps.

2. We dispatch
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 Edinburgh
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.
