When a work van stops, the job stops with it. We recover vans across Greater Manchester 24 hours a day, so a van that dies at 6am on Hyde Road can be at the garage before it opens. You speak directly to the driver, get a fixed price on the phone, and pay by cash or card.
Vans we recover
We recover small and medium panel vans up to 2.7 tonnes, including:
- Ford Transit Custom and Transit Connect
- Mercedes-Benz Vito and smaller Sprinters
- Vauxhall Vivaro, Renault Trafic, Citroën Dispatch and Peugeot Expert
- Volkswagen Transporter and Caddy
- Car-derived vans and small pick-ups
Weight matters. A long-wheelbase van loaded with tools or stock can go over 2.7 tonnes, so tell us roughly what's in the back. If it's too heavy to load safely, we'll tell you straight away rather than turn up and find out.
Common van breakdowns we attend
- Flat batteries, especially on vans that do a lot of short drops. A jumpstart may be all you need
- Clutch and dual-mass flywheel failures
- DPF and AdBlue faults that put the van into limp mode
- Turbo and injector failures
- Punctures where the spare is missing or the wheel nuts are seized
Moving a van that isn't broken down
If the van is SORN, failed its MOT or you've bought it at auction, that's a pre-booked move rather than a recovery. See van and 4x4 transport for those jobs.
Frequently asked questions
What's the biggest van you can recover?
Up to 2.7 tonnes, including the load. That covers most small and medium panel vans. Large 3.5-tonne vans are outside what we can carry.
Can you take my van straight to my mechanic?
Yes. Give us the garage's postcode. It's worth ringing them first to check they can take it in.
Do I need to empty the van?
Not always. Tell us roughly what's in the back so we can check the total weight is within our 2.7-tonne limit.
Do you invoice businesses?
We take cash or card on the day. If you need a receipt for the business, ask when you book.
