Vehicle Recovery in Birkenhead

What recovery costs in Birkenhead

Pricing is the same wherever you are inside the area. There is no Birkenhead surcharge and no premium for being at the far end of the patch. Recovery starts at £150.00, which covers the call out and your first 10 miles.

A recovery within Birkenhead itself, or to a garage nearby, will normally sit at that £150.00 figure. Birkenhead is roughly 19 road miles from our Chester base, so a recovery running the full distance into Chester works out at about £172.50 in standard hours. Out of hours that becomes around £345.00, where a £150.00 premium applies on top of the call out and additional miles are charged at £5.00.

Whatever the figures say here, you get a confirmed price on the phone before we set off. See full pricing or work out your own estimate.

How we reach Birkenhead

We cover Birkenhead and the surrounding area from:

A41

Queensway (Birkenhead) Tunnel

Every job is done on a flatbed. Your vehicle is winched fully onto the bed rather than towed on its own wheels, which is the only sound way to move a non-runner, an electric vehicle or anything accident damaged. More about what we recover.

Common questions about recovery in Birkenhead

How much is vehicle recovery in Birkenhead?

£150.00 covers the call out and your first 10 miles, which is enough for most recoveries within Birkenhead or to a local garage. Each mile beyond that is £2.50. A run from Birkenhead into Chester, about 19 miles, comes to roughly £172.50.

How quickly can you get to Birkenhead?

Birkenhead is around 19 road miles from our base, so it is a short run for us in normal conditions. Actual arrival depends on where the truck is when you call and what the traffic is doing. We will give you a realistic window on the phone rather than an optimistic one.

Do you cover Birkenhead at night and at weekends?

Yes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week including bank holidays. Out-of-hours work carries a £150.00 premium in addition to the standard call out, with additional miles at £5.00.

Can you recover a vehicle that will not start in Birkenhead?

Yes. Non-runners are routine work for a flatbed. That covers vehicles that will not start, will not steer, will not come out of gear, have locked or flat wheels, or have no keys at all. Mention the condition when you ring so we bring the right equipment.
