We use flatbed recovery trucks, so your vehicle sits fully on the bed rather than being dragged on two wheels. That's safer for automatic gearboxes, four-wheel-drive systems, low cars and anything already damaged. People book towing for all sorts of reasons: a car that's broken down, a vehicle that's failed its MOT, a project car going to a garage, or a car being moved to a family member's home for repair. Working across Barking, East London, North London and Essex, we can usually fit you in the same day, or book a time that suits you. The risk ## The risks of towing the wrong way Not every tow is equal. The wrong method can cost you money and put people at risk. ### Gearbox damage Dragging an automatic or 4x4 on its wheels can damage the transmission. ### Unsafe DIY towing Rope or bar towing behind another car is risky on busy London roads and easy to get wrong. ### Bodywork damage Low cars and damaged bumpers can scrape or tear when loaded badly. ### Legal issues Driving an unroadworthy car to a garage can bring fines and points. ### Common mistakes to avoid - Using a friend's car and a tow rope on a main road. - Driving a car that's failed its MOT on a dangerous fault. - Choosing a cheaper tow on two wheels for an automatic or 4x4. - Not checking the vehicle will be insured during the move.
