Reliable Breakdown Recovery on the A68
Breaking down on the A68 can be stressful, especially when you are travelling through quieter rural sections or unfamiliar areas. A vehicle that cannot safely continue needs the right assistance, not an attempt to keep driving and make the problem worse.

We can help with vehicle breakdowns, flat batteries, tyre problems, accidents, fuel issues and other situations where recovery or roadside assistance is required.
When you contact us, tell us your exact location, direction of travel, vehicle make and model, and what has happened. If you can see a nearby junction, landmark or location marker, include that information as well.

Know the Risks
Common A68 Breakdown Problems
Flat Battery
A flat battery can leave you stranded without warning. Our jump start service may be suitable where the vehicle and situation allow a safe roadside start.
Tyre Damage
A puncture or damaged tyre can bring your journey to a sudden stop. If you have a suitable spare tyre, roadside assistance may be available. Vehicle recovery can also be arranged where required.
Vehicle Overheating
If your vehicle starts overheating, continuing to drive may cause further damage. Stop somewhere safe and arrange suitable assistance rather than taking unnecessary risks.
Running Out of Fuel
Running out of fuel can leave you stranded, particularly when you are travelling through a less built-up section of the A68. Our emergency fuel delivery service can help in suitable situations.
Accident Recovery
If your vehicle has been involved in a collision and cannot safely continue, accident recovery can be arranged once the scene is safe.
Vehicle Stuck or Off the Road
A vehicle can leave the road because of difficult ground, weather or an unexpected incident. Our winch-out service can assist with suitable vehicles that have become stuck in mud, a ditch, snow or other difficult ground.
