Frequently Asked Questions — Roadside Assistance
Do you offer emergency roadside assistance 24/7?
Yes. Our roadside assistance service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, across South East London. Whether you break down at 3pm or 3am, we’re available to help.
How fast can you reach me for emergency roadside help?
Response times vary by location and traffic, but we prioritise emergency roadside calls and aim to reach most South East London locations — including Greenwich, Woolwich, Lewisham, Bexley and Bromley — as quickly as possible. Call us and we’ll give you an accurate estimate for your exact location.
What counts as a roadside emergency?
Common roadside emergencies we handle include breakdowns, flat batteries, flat tyres, being locked out of your vehicle, running out of fuel, and accidents where the vehicle is no longer driveable. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, just call — we’ll advise you on the spot.
Is roadside assistance different from a full recovery/tow?
Yes. Roadside assistance covers on-the-spot fixes — like a jump start, tyre change, or lockout — that can get you moving again without needing a tow. If the issue can’t be resolved at the roadside, we’ll arrange a full recovery to a garage or location of your choice.
How much does emergency roadside assistance cost?
Pricing depends on your location and the type of assistance needed. Our standard rate starts from £80 for coverage within a 5-mile radius. Call for an exact quote based on your situation.
Which areas do you cover for roadside assistance?
We provide roadside assistance across South East London, including Greenwich, Woolwich, Plumstead, Peckham, Lewisham, Bexley, Bromley and Eltham. If you’re on a major road like the A2 and unsure of your exact location, we can usually help locate you.
What should I do while waiting for roadside assistance to arrive?
Move your vehicle to a safe location if possible — ideally off the main carriageway and with hazard lights on. Stay in a safe position away from moving traffic, especially on faster roads, and keep your phone nearby so we can reach you with updates.
