Parked cars on both sides, low driveway clearance, and overhanging trees are the usual obstacles — we send the right-sized truck rather than the biggest one.

Common Questions About Car Recovery

We get asked these every day — here are the honest answers.

What about the journey time once you arrive?

Loading takes around 10–15 minutes for most cars. Then it's a direct drive to your drop-off — no detours, no shared loads.

How long will you take to reach me?

We aim for the fastest possible response across Castleford. We'll give you an honest ETA before dispatch — not a vague 'within 2 hours'. Most jobs we're there well within the hour.

Is there a long-distance surcharge?

Long-distance jobs are quoted at a clear per-mile rate up front. No mileage 'creep' on the invoice — what we quote is what you pay.

Can you recover a left-hand-drive vehicle?

Yes. Flatbed loading is the same regardless of driving side, so LHD imports, ex-military or European vehicles in Castleford are no problem.
