Vehicle Recovery FAQs

Answers to the questions we're asked most about breakdowns, accidents, non-runners, nationwide transport, prices and the areas we cover.

Emergency & breakdowns

Do you provide 24-hour vehicle recovery in Wrexham?

Yes. MK Recovery's is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. Call 07925 218836 at any time.

How do I request an emergency recovery?

Call 07925 218836. In an emergency, a phone call is always quickest. Have your location ready (a postcode, road name, junction or landmark) and tell us whether you are somewhere safe.

Can you recover my vehicle if it has broken down at home?

Yes. Plenty of our jobs start on a driveway. Tell us the address and how the vehicle is parked so we know how to access it.

How quickly can you get to me?

It depends on where you are, the time and what we're already doing, so we won't promise a time we can't keep. When you call, we'll give you an honest estimate before you agree to anything.

Do I need breakdown cover to use you?

No. You can call us directly whether or not you have breakdown cover. Many customers call us when their cover provider can't get to them for hours.

Can you come out at night or at weekends?

Yes. We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays.

Can you take my car home instead of to a garage?

Yes. You choose the destination: your home, your usual garage, a main dealer or another address you agree with us.

I've got a puncture and no spare. Can you help?

Yes. Many modern cars come without a spare wheel. We can recover the vehicle to a tyre centre, a garage or your home so it can be sorted safely.

Accidents

Can you recover my car straight from the scene?

Yes, once the scene is safe and, if the police are in attendance, they are happy for the vehicle to be moved. Tell us if emergency services are already there when you call.

Where can you take an accident-damaged car?

Anywhere you choose: your home, a bodyshop, a garage or another agreed address. If your insurer has its own repairer or storage arrangements, it's worth checking with them first.

Can you move a car that won't roll?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the damage, for example a locked wheel, broken suspension or flat tyres, so we can plan how to load it safely.

Do you deal with my insurance company?

We recover and deliver your vehicle. Claims are handled between you and your insurer, but we're happy to give you details of the job for your records.

Vehicles & non-runners

Can you move a car that doesn't start?

Yes. Non-runners are one of the most common jobs we do. We use the flatbed and a winch where needed, so the vehicle doesn't have to drive on.

What if the car has flat tyres or no keys?

Let us know before we arrive. Flat tyres, a locked steering wheel, a seized handbrake or missing keys all change how we load a vehicle, so the more we know, the smoother the job.

What size of vehicle can you take?

We recover cars, SUVs, 4x4s and light commercial vehicles. Size and weight limits apply, so call us with the make and model and we'll confirm before you book.

Can you collect a car that's been off the road for a while?

Yes. Vehicles that have been sat on a drive or in a garage for months, including SORN vehicles, can be collected and transported on our flatbed.

Nationwide transport

Do you really cover the whole UK?

Yes. We are based in Wrexham and travel across England, Wales and Scotland for pre-booked transport. Long-distance jobs are planned in advance so we can agree the route, timing and price with you.

How do I get a transport quote?

Send us the vehicle make and model, its condition, the collection and delivery postcodes and your preferred date. WhatsApp or our contact form are the quickest ways.

Can you collect a car I've bought from a private seller or dealer?

Yes. Just make sure the seller knows we're coming and that the vehicle has been paid for and is ready to be collected.

Can you transport a non-running vehicle long distance?

Yes. Non-runners travel on our flatbed in exactly the same way as running vehicles. Let us know about any issues with steering, brakes or tyres.

Will someone need to be there at both ends?

Usually, yes. Someone needs to hand over the keys at collection and receive the vehicle at delivery, unless we've agreed something different in advance.

Quotes & prices

How much does vehicle recovery cost?

Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The cost depends on the distance, the time of day, the vehicle and its condition. We always agree the price with you before we set off.

What information do you need before providing a quote?

The vehicle make and model, its condition, the collection location and postcode, the destination postcode and when you need it moved. Photos on WhatsApp help too.

Can I get a quote on WhatsApp?

Yes. Message us on WhatsApp with the details and any photos, and we'll get back to you with a price.

Areas we cover

Do you cover villages outside Wrexham town?

Yes. Our local recovery area covers Wrexham and the surrounding towns and villages shown on the map, from Llangollen and Chirk to Gresford, Rossett, Llay and the Maelor villages.

What if I'm outside your local area?

Use the map to check your location. If you're outside our local emergency area, we can still help with pre-booked nationwide vehicle transport anywhere in the UK.

Do you have offices in these towns?

No. We're based in Wrexham and travel out to customers across the area. We don't have branches or depots in other towns.
