What recovery costs in Chester

Pricing is the same wherever you are inside the area. There is no Chester 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 Chester itself, or to a garage nearby, will normally sit at that £150.00 figure. Chester is roughly 1 road miles from our Chester base, so a recovery running the full distance into Chester works out at about £150.00 in standard hours. Out of hours that becomes around £300.00, 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.

We cover Chester and the surrounding area from:

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 Chester

How much is vehicle recovery in Chester?

£150.00 covers the call out and your first 10 miles, which is enough for most recoveries within Chester or to a local garage. Each mile beyond that is £2.50. A run from Chester into Chester, about 1 miles, comes to roughly £150.00.

How quickly can you get to Chester?

Chester is around 1 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 Chester 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 Chester?

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.
