Local Vehicle Recovery Edinburgh Service
When your vehicle breaks down in Edinburgh, you need a recovery company that can respond quickly, communicate clearly and move your vehicle safely. Our vehicle recovery Edinburgh service is built for drivers who need help across EH and nearby Edinburgh and the Lothians areas. We help with car recovery, van recovery, breakdown recovery, accident vehicle transport, non-runner collection, garage delivery, auction vehicle collection and long-distance vehicle movement.
Edinburgh is a busy city with residential areas, shopping traffic, industrial estates, business parks, delivery routes and important links towards Dalkeith, Glasgow, Falkirk, Livingston, Dundee and Glasgow. A breakdown near St James Quarter, Sighthill Industrial Estate, Bankhead Industrial Estate, Newbridge Industrial Estate, the A720 or the A1 can quickly become stressful, especially if your vehicle is blocking access or cannot be driven safely.
We always ask for the key recovery details before quoting: vehicle make and model, pickup postcode, drop-off postcode, whether the vehicle rolls, whether it goes into neutral, handbrake condition, wheel damage, passenger count and when you need the recovery. These details help us check the correct recovery truck, loading method and realistic ETA.
We also provide related services including vehicle recovery Glasgow, vehicle recovery Livingston, vehicle recovery Falkirk and auction vehicle recovery and collection.

Vehicle Recovery Across Edinburgh & Nearby Routes
Edinburgh has important links towards Glasgow, Dalkeith, Livingston, Falkirk, Southport, Dundee and Glasgow. Breakdowns often happen on local roads, outside homes, in garage yards, at warehouses, retail car parks, industrial estates and main routes such as the A720, M8, A1, A90 and A71.
Our vehicle recovery Edinburgh service covers cars, vans, SUVs, non-runners, accident-damaged vehicles and long-distance transport. We can collect from homes, workplaces, garages, business parks, distribution sites, dealerships, private sellers, auction sites and roadside locations where safe loading is possible.
Fair Recovery Prices
Prices depend on distance, vehicle size, vehicle condition, whether it rolls, handbrake condition, access, passenger numbers and urgency. Send pickup and drop-off postcodes for a clear quote.
24 Hour Vehicle Recovery Edinburgh
Vehicle problems rarely happen at a convenient time. A car can stop starting before work, a van can break down during deliveries, an automatic vehicle can refuse to select gear, or an accident can leave a vehicle unsafe to drive. Our 24 hour vehicle recovery Edinburgh service is designed for urgent situations where the vehicle needs to be collected and moved safely.
We can help customers who need emergency recovery to a garage, home address, dealership, bodyshop, storage yard or another town. If you are not sure whether the vehicle is safe to drive, it is usually better to arrange recovery instead of risking more damage or putting yourself in danger on a busy road.

Emergency Breakdown Recovery Edinburgh
If your vehicle has stopped moving, developed a serious fault or become unsafe to drive, our emergency breakdown recovery Edinburgh team can help. Common problems include engine failure, gearbox faults, clutch failure, electrical issues, flat battery, accident damage, punctures, locked brakes, warning lights, overheating and vehicles stuck in park.
For a fast quote, please send the exact location. A full postcode is best, but if you are on an industrial estate, service road, rural road or motorway area without a clear postcode, you can send a Google Maps pin or what3words. If you are on the A720, M8 or another fast road, move to a safe place where possible and tell us your direction of travel, nearest junction, marker posts, services, slip road or nearby landmark.
Car Recovery Edinburgh To Garage, Home Or Long Distance
Our car recovery Edinburgh service is ideal when your car needs transporting from a roadside, driveway, car park, garage, dealership or private seller. We regularly help customers who need their car moved locally within Edinburgh or transported further towards Glasgow, Livingston, Falkirk, Dundee, Glasgow, Perth, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and other UK locations.
We use clear communication before dispatch. Once we understand your vehicle condition and route, we can check availability and provide a price and ETA. If the vehicle rolls freely, goes into neutral and the handbrake releases, loading is usually more straightforward. If the vehicle does not roll, has wheel damage or has an electric handbrake fault, please tell us before booking so we can advise properly.
Van Recovery Edinburgh
We provide van recovery Edinburgh for many light commercial vehicles, including small vans, SWB vans, MWB vans and selected LWB vans depending on size, weight, load and access. Edinburgh has many commercial vehicle movements around Sighthill Industrial Estate, Bankhead Industrial Estate, Newbridge Industrial Estate and surrounding delivery routes, so a van breakdown can cause delays quickly.
For van recovery, please send the van make and model, whether it is SWB, MWB, LWB or Luton, whether it is loaded, approximate load weight, pickup access and drop-off postcode. This helps us check if the correct truck is available and whether the vehicle can be loaded safely.
A720 Recovery Edinburgh & Motorway Support
The A720 is one of the main motorway routes near Edinburgh, linking the area towards Livingston, Glasgow, the M8 and wider Scotland routes. A breakdown on or near the A720 can be dangerous, especially during heavy traffic, bad weather or night-time travel. Our A720 recovery Edinburgh support helps drivers who are broken down near Edinburgh, A720 Junction 4, A720 near Dreghorn, A720 near Sheriffhall and nearby approach roads where safe recovery is possible.
If you break down on the motorway, keep yourself safe first. Move away from live traffic if possible, stand behind the barrier where safe, use hazard lights and call for help. When contacting us, provide direction of travel, junction number, nearby services, slip road, marker post or exact pin. If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services first.
Vehicle Recovery Edinburgh Gallery
Below are examples of our recovery vehicles, transported cars and completed recovery jobs. These images help customers understand the type of flatbed recovery, car transport and roadside assistance services we provide.
We Know Edinburgh Roads, Industrial Estates & Busy Routes
We cover vehicle recovery across Edinburgh including residential streets, garages, local businesses, warehouses, retail areas, industrial estates and nearby main roads. Whether your vehicle is near Edinburgh city centre, St James Quarter, Sighthill Industrial Estate, Bankhead Industrial Estate, Newbridge Industrial Estate, Leith, Morningside, Portobello, Corstorphine, Old Town or close to the A720, we can check availability and provide a realistic ETA.
Clear location details make the recovery faster. If your vehicle is inside a warehouse yard, commercial site, depot, shopping car park, tight residential street or difficult access area, please mention height restrictions, gate access, loading area and whether the vehicle can be moved to an easier pickup point.
Auction Vehicle Recovery & Collection Edinburgh
Alongside vehicle recovery Edinburgh, we also help customers with auction vehicle recovery and collection. If you have bought a car, van, SUV or non-runner from Copart, BCA, Manheim, SYNETIQ, John Pye, a dealership, garage or private seller and need it transported safely, our recovery team can help.
For auction jobs, please send the auction site name, lot number, member ID if needed, vehicle make and model, whether it runs and drives, whether keys are present, whether forklift loading is available and the delivery postcode. Some auction sites can load vehicles with a forklift, but others may need winching or skates if the vehicle does not roll.
For more details, visit our Auction Cars Collection and Delivery service page.
Non-Runner Recovery Edinburgh
Not every vehicle can be started or driven onto a truck. Our non-runner recovery Edinburgh service helps with cars and vans that do not start, do not drive, have mechanical faults or are unsafe to move under their own power. We can assist with many non-running vehicles where loading is safe and practical.
Before booking a non-runner recovery, please confirm whether the wheels roll, whether the vehicle goes into neutral, whether the steering is unlocked, whether the handbrake releases, and whether any wheels are damaged or missing. If the vehicle is stuck in park, has a locked electric handbrake or has accident damage around the wheels, the job may require extra preparation.
What We Need Before Sending A Recovery Truck
To give the most accurate quote for vehicle recovery in Edinburgh, we need a few details before dispatch. These details prevent delays and help us send the right recovery truck for the job.
- Vehicle make, model and registration if available
- Pickup postcode, exact road, garage name, depot name or location pin
- Drop-off postcode and full destination details
- Whether the vehicle runs, drives or rolls
- Whether it goes into neutral and the handbrake releases
