If your vehicle breaks down or is involved in a road collision, it can be a stressful or even traumatic event. When it comes to choosing a car recovery service, you’ll want to know that it won’t take too long. In this guide, we’re looking at the average time it takes for vehicle recovery and how to find a company you can rely on.
From the moment you pick up the phone to the moment your removal vehicle appears on the scene, just how long could you be waiting?
The time it takes for a recovery vehicle to reach you shouldn’t be more than 30-60 minutes. After that, loading time can take between 10-20 minutes.
Factors that reduce vehicle recovery time
- Choose a 24-hour recovery company
Breakdowns never choose a convenient time. If you’re en route in the middle of the night, the last thing you’ll want is for your call to be sent to voicemail! That’s why we recommend adding the number of a reliable 24 hour vehicle recovery provider – like us at Cambridge Car Solutions.
- Choose a local company
Distance will ultimately play a key role in how fast your vehicle can be recovered. That’s why it’s recommended you choose a local company and one that knows the roads well. The last thing you need is for your recovery vehicle to get stuck in avoidable traffic!
Based in Cambridgeshire, our team are ideally located to reach stranded vehicles in and around the county, including in neighbouring Norfolk and Suffolk.
- Do they have the right recovery equipment for the job?
If your car is in a ditch, broken down in an awkward spot or you’re driving a larger vehicle, you’ll need to call a company that has the specialist equipment for the job. This will make the recovery process much easier and quicker.
At Cambridge Car Solutions, we have a HIAB lorry which enables us to recover vehicles from any tight spot or ditch without causing further damage.
