I’m only giving this high score because of Nick the excellent driver of the recovery truck. He couldn’t have been more helpful and was an excellent representative of the company. On the downside, eve... See more

Not to long await (45mins)
Dropped off at garage after phoning garage to ask. As being a Saturday.
Ok……
Was with the rac and they were give the job from the rac. The man who recovered me from one service to the next. I was very annoyed that they only took me from one service to another then left me there. If I knew it was going to be that I wouldn’t of taken it
Reported a break down at 12.30
Reported a break down at 12.30. After waiting 3 hours and explained 3 times what was wrong with the car a van arrived only to say that he couldn't do anything because the car needed to be recovered on a truck. 2 hours later after explaining again a truck arrived only to be told again it wasn't the correct vehicle to recover my car. It is now 17.15 and still waiting for recovery. 😡😡😡😡
Great service
Great service. Communication was brill. Definitely recommended
Excellent from start to finish
Excellent from start to finish. The process was easy. I was kept up to date all night and the recovery driver Zack was so friendly, the kind of person you need in a stressful situation.
Overall excellent five star service. I will be taking a yearly cover plan out ASAP.
Waiting time kept getting further away…
Waiting time kept getting further away but the driver finally came over 4 hours later. Admittedly mine was a larger than average car so wouldn’t fit on a small recovery vehicle. However the driver who came was very good and knowledgeable, being a fellow petrolhead. She loaded my vehicle with total professionalism and got me home as quickly as possible.
Was passed to this company by RAC
Was passed to this company by RAC. RAC took two hours before passing it onto 1st rescue. I was called straight away and given accurate timings unlike RAC. Driver was professional and recovered me to my chosen garage. Would recommend.
I had to stop driving as the van was…
I had to stop driving as the van was making a scraping noise from one of the wheels. I was near to a service area at Preston. Upon inspection I found that a rusty piece of metal was jammed between the brake calliper and the inside of the rim. I asked if the driver could bring a jack and wheel brace. He arrived in about 20 minutes and after removing the wheel the metal fell out, it was the disc brake dust cover that had broken loose. After fitting the wheel the problem was sorted. All within less than a hour from stopping. Just a fantastic service and I’m more than happy to give them five stars. I could have said this in one word. EXCELLENT.
Unreliable and misleading
Unreliable and misleading, left to stand at the side of the motorway with young children from 1am till after 5am. Very poor service
4 hr wait for very little
I waited the top end of 4 hours in central Manchester. Apparently 1st breakdown truck broke down. 2nd breakdown truck arrived with the opening line, if you need recovery it’s only to the nearest services!!!! As it happens he did a temporary fix and I managed the journey home. Communication, Lacking. Mechanics attitude, lacking. Trust in where I was going be to end up, lacking. All in all will be looking for a new breakdown company.
Amazing Britt
Broke down in Chorley on Wednesday evening and had to be rescued. I was initially not impressed by the waiting time....but then Britt arrived!! What a masterclass in customer service. Britt was knowledgeable, professional and courteous. She explained the reason for the delay and then proceeded with the recovery. She made me feel comfortable and even stopped at the services on the way so I could have a comfort break. If I ever break down again (hopefully not) I want to be recovered by Britt.

Excellent service from start to finish. Will was incredibly helpful, warm, and cheerful throughout the whole process. He kept me fully informed the entire time and explained everything clearly.
He was very professional, knowledgeable, and also gave me some really useful car tips and advice, which I really appreciated.
I’m very grateful for the support and would definitely recommend this recovery service. Thank you again, Will!
