Possible when a suitable recovery truck is nearby. We confirm your actual ETA before dispatch; traffic, access and availability affect arrival.
We check local recovery operators for a suitable available truck. Standby availability varies by area and time, so send your exact pickup point.
Finding your exact location can be the hardest part of arranging recovery. Our form lets you share your current location with one tap after allowing location access. There is no need to work out an unfamiliar postcode or describe your roadside position over the phone.
Tap the current-location button and your location is added to the enquiry. If location access is unavailable, enter a postcode or describe your pickup point manually. Only use your device when it is safe to do so.
Fill in your vehicle details, collection and delivery locations, vehicle condition and preferred time. We will send you a free, no-obligation advance quote, so you can decide before booking.
Once your booking is accepted and a truck is assigned, you will receive a confirmation call from your driver. Your driver will confirm the collection details and keep you updated on arrival while you wait.
Use the roads, postcodes and reference points on this page to describe your pickup position. Give the full address or a current-location pin, vehicle condition and destination so the operator can check suitable equipment and access. Reference points do not mean a recovery truck is based at, endorsed by or able to enter a landmark site.
For vehicle recovery in Edinburgh, we can check breakdown collection, non-running vehicle transport and towing to an accessible destination. The final price and ETA depend on distance, vehicle condition, access and suitable-truck availability.

Baloch Recovery Services provides reliable vehicle recovery in Edinburgh for cars, vans, SUVs, non-runners, accident-damaged vehicles, auction vehicles and long-distance vehicle transport.
We cover Edinburgh city centre, Old Town, New Town, Leith, Portobello, Corstorphine, Morningside, Gorgie, Dalry, Haymarket, Sighthill, Newbridge, South Gyle, Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Livingston, Falkirk and nearby Lothian areas.
Whether you are broken down near St James Quarter, Edinburgh Waverley, Haymarket, Edinburgh Airport, Sighthill Industrial Estate, Bankhead Industrial Estate, Newbridge, the A720 City Bypass, M8, M9, A1, A90, A71 or nearby local roads, send us your recovery details and we will check availability for a clear price and ETA.


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.
Our dedicated Edinburgh recovery service is designed for drivers searching for fast vehicle recovery, emergency breakdown recovery, car recovery, van recovery, tow truck service, flatbed recovery and non-runner transport across Edinburgh, Edinburgh and the Lothians and the A720/M8 corridor.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Baloch Recovery Services is a family run recovery business focused on honest communication, careful loading and reliable vehicle transport. We understand that breakdowns are stressful, especially when you are stuck away from home, outside a garage, at a warehouse, in a residential estate or on a busy road. Our aim is to make the process simple: send the details, receive a clear quote, confirm the job and get your vehicle moved safely.
We keep customers updated, explain what information is needed and provide a no obligation quote before booking. For many jobs, a deposit is required to confirm the recovery and assign the truck. The remaining balance is normally payable once the vehicle has been picked up and dropped off, depending on the agreed arrangement.
We can attend many Edinburgh and nearby Edinburgh and the Lothians postcodes for vehicle recovery, car recovery, van recovery, non-runner transport and breakdown recovery.

Baloch Recovery Services can arrange recovery for running and non-running vehicles. We use the vehicle's size, weight, condition, access and journey details to identify the right truck, loading method and recovery price.
Suitable smaller vehicles can be collected with a 3.5-tonne recovery truck where narrow roads or restricted access make a larger truck impractical. We confirm the truck's safe payload and loading space first.
For suitable vans and SUVs, we can check availability of a larger 7.5-tonne recovery truck. The exact vehicle, load, dimensions, access and equipment determine what can be carried safely.
If your car, SUV or van has slipped off the road, sunk into soft ground or become stuck in a muddy field, Baloch Recovery Services can arrange a controlled vehicle winch recovery. We match the truck and equipment to the vehicle's weight, position, ground conditions and access, then confirm whether you need a pull-out only or flatbed transport after the vehicle is freed.


For a vehicle resting in a roadside ditch or down an embankment, we assess the angle, wheel position, body damage and safest pulling direction before a suitable recovery truck is dispatched.
A car stuck in mud may need a steady winch pull rather than more wheelspin. Photos help us assess the mud depth, surface, recovery points and whether the truck can remain on firm ground.
Wet grass and soft verges can trap cars, SUVs and suitable vans. We can check a controlled grass-verge pull-out and arrange onward towing if the vehicle is unsafe to drive.
We check access, vehicle weight and recovery angle before choosing a suitable 3.5-tonne or 7.5-tonne truck and winch setup. If the vehicle cannot be driven safely once it is free, it can be loaded onto a flatbed and transported to your home, garage or another destination.
Safety first: Keep everyone away from the vehicle and winch line. If the vehicle is obstructing live traffic, anyone is injured or there is immediate danger, call 999 before arranging private recovery.
