Recovery Support for Durham Drivers
Durham's narrow city centre streets, the peninsula around the Cathedral and the steep approaches near the river can make an already stressful breakdown harder to manage. FSR Recovery Group is regularly called out to Durham City, Durham University's campuses and the residential areas that surround them.
We also cover the A1(M) and A167 as they pass Durham, along with the A690 and A691 routes into the city, so drivers travelling to or from Durham have somewhere reliable to turn if a vehicle problem strikes.
