Our Towing Services

Flatbed Towing

Our flatbed towing service is ideal for safely transporting vehicles of all types. The entire vehicle is loaded onto the flatbed, preventing any wheel rotation or additional stress on the drivetrain during transport. This method is particularly suitable for luxury cars, low-clearance vehicles, all-wheel drive vehicles, and those with transmission issues.

Accident Recovery Towing

After an accident, your vehicle requires special handling to prevent further damage. Our accident recovery towing service uses specialized equipment and techniques to safely recover and transport damaged vehicles. We work with insurance companies to streamline the process and can transport your vehicle to an approved repair center.

Motorcycle Towing

Motorcycles require specialized equipment and handling during towing. Our motorcycle towing service uses dedicated motorcycle carriers and securing systems to ensure your bike is transported safely without any risk of damage. We can transport all types of motorcycles, from standard bikes to custom choppers.

Van and Light Commercial Towing

We provide specialized towing services for vans and light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. Our larger recovery vehicles can safely transport your van or commercial vehicle, whether it's broken down, been involved in an accident, or simply needs to be moved to a new location.

Long Distance Towing

Need your vehicle transported across the UK? Our long-distance towing service provides safe and secure transportation for your vehicle over extended distances. Whether you're relocating, purchasing a vehicle from afar, or need a broken-down vehicle returned to your home location, we can help.

Winching Services

If your vehicle is stuck in a ditch, mud, or other difficult terrain, our winching service can safely recover it before transportation. Our recovery vehicles are equipped with powerful winches and our operators are trained in proper winching techniques to ensure your vehicle is recovered without causing damage.

Our Towing Methods

At London Breakdown Recovery, we use different towing methods depending on the specific requirements of your vehicle and situation. Here's an overview of our main towing methods:

Flatbed Towing London

Flatbed Towing

Our most commonly used and safest method of vehicle transport. The entire vehicle is loaded onto a flat platform and secured in place. This method:

  • Prevents any wheel rotation during transport
  • Eliminates stress on the vehicle's drivetrain
  • Is suitable for all types of vehicles, including those with mechanical issues
  • Provides the safest transport for damaged vehicles
  • Is ideal for luxury, low-clearance, and all-wheel drive vehicles
Wheel Lift Towing London

Wheel Lift Towing

A more traditional towing method where either the front or rear wheels are lifted off the ground while the other set remains on the road. This method:

  • Is suitable for vehicles that can't be accessed by a flatbed
  • Works well for quick, short-distance towing
  • Is appropriate for front-wheel drive vehicles (when towing from the front)
  • Is appropriate for rear-wheel drive vehicles (when towing from the rear)
  • Is more economical for certain situations
Integrated Towing London

Integrated Towing

For specialized vehicles or situations, we use integrated towing systems that combine elements of different methods. This approach:

  • Allows for customized solutions to unique towing challenges
  • Provides additional security for valuable or unusual vehicles
  • Can accommodate vehicles with special requirements
  • Ensures maximum safety for complex towing situations

Our experienced team will assess your vehicle and situation to determine the most appropriate towing method, ensuring your vehicle is transported safely and without causing any additional damage.
