London Auto Towing was built on trust, grit, and real roadside experience.

Whether you drive an EV, motorbike, van, or classic car, our flatbed recovery truck and expert team are ready 24/7 across London.
I moved to London from Scarborough, North Yorkshire over 22 years ago with a 4×4, a trailer, and not much else. I started out scrapping cars and doing small jobs, one at a time — no website, no fancy tools, just honest hard work and the belief that if I did right by people, they’d come back. Over time, I built London Auto Towing from the ground up.
I went to college to qualify as a mechanic, MOT tester, and vehicle inspector — because I didn’t want to just tow cars, I wanted to understand them. Slowly, I earned the trust of local garages, dealers, and private customers. I’ve helped people in every situation you can imagine — from first-time drivers breaking down outside their college, to parents stranded on the motorway during a school run. I’ve even recovered cars for new parents on the night their first child was born.
But it wasn’t always easy. We’ve had ups and downs — the market collapsed more than once, and COVID nearly shut everything down. I remember helping people who’d just been in an accident and didn’t even have the money to pay upfront. I never turned them away. Because this business isn’t just about towing — it’s about helping real people when they need it most.
Even this website, I built myself — night after night after working a full day on the road. Because I care about every detail, from the tools on my truck to the words on this page. My goal has always been the same: customer satisfaction, safety, and being a reliable part of the local community. That’s what London Auto Towing stands for.
Whether I’m responding to a family breakdown, recovering a non-starter from a garage, or towing a classic car from a quiet side street, I treat every job with care. This isn’t just a towing service — it’s personal. We offer proper car recovery, honest breakdown recovery, and real support when you need it most. No scripts, no shortcuts — just experience you can count on.

I can fully recommend Sam. I broke down in Wandsworth and he took me all the way back to Chelmsford. Very reasonably priced and professional. 5 stars
Sam was great. The car had completely shut down and the front boot had developed a fault just to make the situation worse. Somehow Sam managed key hole surgery for half an hour and removed the latch undamaged and was then able to jump the small battery to get the car moving. I suspect that a non specialist would have given up! Happy to recommend.
Sam the gentleman who came out was so helpful couldn’t do enough to help us get on the road I highly recommend them fantastic service
Was a great service from beginning to end. Had a call and booked in straight away for the time I needed. Sent pictures of every step of the way to my car on the van to him sending me the ringo code for parking and delivering my keys to the garage. Would definitely recommend. Thank you 🙏🏼
Sam was superb throughout the process and really helped me out in an urgent situation. He responded very quickly to my request and was extremely helpful. He is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced, and a great problem solver. Absolute top marks from me.
Sam recovered me in Twickenham. He arrived quickly, he was polite, professional and just the best kind of person you could wish to help you in a difficult situation.

From jump start callouts to electric car recovery and long distance towing support, we’re trusted by locals, garages, and families to deliver the right help 24/7.
Yes, we do. If your car won’t turn over, clicks when you try to start it, or just shows warning lights, we can send a technician to you fast. We offer proper jump start support across London, with diagnostic checks to make sure it’s not something more serious. If needed, we also carry quality batteries and can replace them on-site. It’s all part of our full breakdown recovery service.
Yes, we do. If your electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid goes completely dead — no power, no response — we can help. We provide safe and proper car recovery using a flatbed or freewheeling system to avoid damage. Our towing service is fully equipped for EVs, and we offer fast breakdown recovery anywhere across London, whether you’re at home, on the roadside, or stuck in a car park.
Yes, we can. If your car won’t roll because of a gearbox fault, locked handbrake, broken suspension or missing key, we’ve got the right tools for the job. We use skates, winches, and proper techniques to load non-rolling vehicles safely. Whether it’s outside your home or on the roadside, our car recovery and towing service is built for tricky situations like this. It’s all part of our full breakdown recovery support across London.
Yes, we do. Whether it’s a broken-down vehicle that needs to go to a garage far away, or a non-runner you’ve bought or sold, we offer long distance towing with full insurance and proper loading. Our car recovery service includes long trips — from London to anywhere in the UK. No call centres, no third parties — just honest, experienced breakdown recovery and towing service from someone you can talk to directly.
Yes, we deal with this all the time. If your key is missing, broken, or stuck inside, or the battery is dead and nothing opens — we can recover the vehicle safely. For electric vehicles and hybrids, we also handle 12V failures where even the doors won’t open. Whether it’s a car recovery from home, a roadside breakdown recovery, or a full towing service to your local garage, we’ve got the right tools and experience to get it sorted.
Yes, we can. If your car won’t roll because of collapsed suspension, broken wheels, or damage underneath, we use professional skates and ramps to load it safely without causing more damage. It’s a common job for us — especially with accident recovery. Whether it’s outside your house or on a tight street, our car recovery and towing service includes full breakdown recovery for non-rolling vehicles across London.
Skates are used when a car won’t roll on its own — like when the wheels are locked, the handbrake’s jammed, the suspension is broken, or the car’s stuck in park with no key. We slide skates under the wheels so we can safely roll it onto the truck without dragging or damaging anything. It’s a proper towing service technique, and a big part of how we recover electric cars, accident-damaged vehicles, and non-starters during breakdown recovery across London.
Our prices depend on the distance, vehicle size, and condition. A small car recovered locally with no issues will cost less than a heavy 4×4 with locked wheels or long-distance towing. But to keep it simple — our minimum call-out charge for local car recovery starts from £80. We always quote upfront and never add hidden fees. Whether it’s a simple breakdown recovery or a full towing service, you’ll know the cost before we arrive.
In most parts of London, we can reach you within 20 to 45 minutes — sometimes even faster if we’re already nearby. Our car recovery and breakdown recovery service is based on real-time location and traffic, not false promises. We’ll always give you an accurate ETA and stick to it. Whether you’re stranded on a roadside or outside your home, our towing service is fast, reliable, and always on call.
Yes, we do. We regularly recover Teslas and all types of electric vehicles — including plug-in hybrids — across London. EVs require proper handling and must never be flat towed. We use flatbed trucks and freewheeling skates to load your car safely without damaging the battery or drivetrain. Whether you’re at home, roadside, or in a tight car park, we’ll get your electric car moved professionally. It’s all part of our trusted car recovery, towing service, and breakdown recovery work.
To jump start a car, you’ll need jumper cables and another vehicle with a good battery. Connect red to red (+), then connect black (–) to a clean metal part of the dead car’s engine block. Start the working car, wait 30–60 seconds, then try starting yours. Once started, remove the cables in reverse order. But be careful — one wrong move can damage electronics, especially in electric cars or hybrids.
That’s why many drivers call London Auto Towing. We offer a fast, safe, and affordable jump start service as part of our full breakdown recovery, car recovery, and towing service across London. If your battery needs replacing, we carry high-quality units and can install one at your location on the spot.
In some cases, yes — but it depends on the situation. Both vehicles must be road legal, insured, and the car being towed must have working brakes and lights. You also need proper towing equipment like a rigid tow bar or solid A-frame — using a rope is risky and often illegal on public roads. If the towed car can’t brake or steer properly, it becomes a real hazard.
That’s why most people now choose a professional towing service. At London Auto Towing, we provide safe, insured car recovery and breakdown recovery using flatbed trucks, so there’s no risk of fines, damage, or dangerous handling. It’s the right way to do it — simple, legal, and safe.
Yes, we do. If your vehicle has been taken to a police pound, we can help recover it quickly and legally. Whether you need help with documents, transport from the compound, or getting the car back to your home or garage, we’ll guide you through the process. Our towing service is trusted for sensitive jobs like this — and our full car recovery and breakdown recovery support means you’re never left dealing with it alone.
Yes, we do. We recover all types of motorbikes, scooters, and mopeds using proper straps, wheel chocks, and secure loading methods. Whether it’s a breakdown, accident, or the bike just won’t start, we’ll collect it safely and deliver it to your home, garage, or trusted mechanic. Our towing service includes motorbike recovery as part of our full car recovery and breakdown recovery work across London.
Yes, we can. We deal with underground car parks, basement levels, and tight height-restricted areas all the time. Whether your car needs to be recovered due to a breakdown, flat battery, or it simply won’t move, we have the tools and training to safely recover it. Once loaded, we can take it to your local garage or one we recommend. It’s all part of our trusted car recovery, towing service, and breakdown recovery support across London.
A Certificate of Destruction is an official document issued when a vehicle is permanently scrapped by an authorised treatment facility (ATF). It proves that the car has been destroyed and you’re no longer responsible for it. If you scrap your vehicle with London Auto Towing, we’ll handle the process properly and provide a CoD through a licensed partner. It’s part of our legal and trusted car recovery and towing service — especially for end-of-life vehicles and scrap car removal across London.

From tight city streets to long-distance breakdown recovery, we’ve handled every kind of job — including electric vehicles, classic cars, police pound work, and complex roadside situations. When you call London Auto Towing, you’re dealing with real experience — not someone guessing with a winch and a rope.
