Pay-on-use recovery
Tow my car to a garage — urgent recovery quote
Your car cannot be driven and you already know which garage should repair it. SOS can check a pay-on-use recovery from its current location to that garage. Give dispatch both addresses and say whether the car rolls and steers; the garage must be able to receive it.

Disabled car → your chosen garage
Already know the garage? Give us both addresses.
A garage destination only works if it can accept the vehicle. An accurate recovery quote also depends on how easily the car can be loaded.
What to have ready when you call
- Confirm the garage can accept the car and someone can hand over the keys.
- Give the pickup pin, vehicle registration, destination postcode and opening or key-drop instructions.
- Say whether the car rolls, steers and can be put in neutral; disclose damage or locked wheels.
Give the exact pickup and destination before requesting a quote. Dispatch checks the appropriate operator and equipment, total price and a realistic ETA before you commit.

Common questions
Useful answers.
Can you tow a non-starting car to my own mechanic?+
Ask for a quote with the exact pickup and garage address. Dispatch checks suitable equipment and availability, and the garage should confirm it can accept the car and keys before the move.
What if my car is stuck in Park or the brakes are seized?+
Tell dispatch before accepting the quote. Locked wheels or a transmission stuck in Park may need a specialist loading method; do not try to drag the vehicle.
Is this an annual breakdown-cover policy?+
No. This is a quote for an individual disabled-vehicle recovery job, not insurance or a membership. Planned transport of a driveable vehicle is a separate service and may have different legal requirements.
