24/7 recovery in and around Edinburgh
Edinburgh sits in central City of Edinburgh; the nearest sizeable centres are Dundee (~37 mi north), East Kilbride (~40 mi west), Glasgow (~42 mi west); the M8 (~6 mi), M9 (~8 mi), M90 (~14 mi) corridors give our trucks fast access.
Because of close motorway access and dense surrounding coverage, a realistic arrival window for Edinburgh is ~15–25 min once a truck is dispatched, with crews frequently already working nearby.
We cover Edinburgh and the roads out toward New Town (~1 mi north), Roxburgh's Court (~1 mi south-east), Old Town (~1 mi south), Queen Street (~1 mi north-west), Grassmarket (~1 mi south), so help is rarely far from wherever you have stopped — roadside, car park, driveway or private land.
Tell us your EH postcode or a nearby landmark in Edinburgh and we will route the closest available truck to you, 24 hours a day. Call 07400 400 954 for an upfront price.
