24/7 recovery in and around Gletness

Gletness sits in the southern-eastern part of Shetland Islands; the nearest sizeable centres are Aberdeen (~217 mi south), Dundee (~269 mi south), Edinburgh (~306 mi south); there is no motorway close by, so we run in on the A-roads and local routes.

Because of its more rural location and distance from the motorway network, a realistic arrival window for Gletness is ~40–70 min once a truck is dispatched, with crews frequently already working nearby.

We cover Gletness and the roads out toward Vassa (~1 mi north), Freester (~1 mi north-west), Garth (~1 mi north), Brough (~2 mi north), Eswick (~2 mi north-east), so help is rarely far from wherever you have stopped — roadside, car park, driveway or private land.

Tell us your ZE postcode or a nearby landmark in Gletness and we will route the closest available truck to you, 24 hours a day. Call 07400 400 954 for an upfront price.

What we handle in Gletness
