CityGrip provides 24/7 breakdown and accident recovery along the A13. We respond across the full corridor from Canning Town through Barking, Dagenham and Rainham to the Thurrock approaches, with recovery starts from £70, jump starts from £60 and free recovery for non-fault accidents.

The A13 is one of east London’s fastest and busiest trunk roads, carrying heavy commuter and freight traffic between the City, the Docklands and Essex. A breakdown here needs a quick, safe response before it backs up the carriageway, and an operator who knows the junctions, flyovers and limited stopping points. We work the A13 constantly from Canning Town to the Thurrock boundary.

Local coverage across the A13
We cover the full A13 corridor: Canning Town, Beckton, Barking, Dagenham, Rainham, Wennington and the approaches to the M25 and Thurrock. Whether you are stranded on a flyover, in a layby or on a slip road, we can reach you and clear the carriageway safely.
Our trucks know the A13 in detail: the Canning Town and Beckton junctions, the Lodge Avenue and Goresbrook flyovers, the Renwick Road and Marsh Way junctions, and the link to the A1306 and M25 at Wennington. We respond quickly where hard shoulder is limited and merging traffic makes a fast clearance essential.
Local knowledge is vital on the A13. The flyovers and grade-separated junctions have few safe stopping places, traffic moves fast, and positioning a recovery truck safely takes the right equipment and experience. We know which junctions to approach from and how to recover a vehicle off a live carriageway quickly and safely.
How A13 car recovery works
From your call to a recovered vehicle, in four simple steps.
1. Call us
Tell us where you are on the A13, your vehicle and the problem. We give a firm price and a realistic arrival time.
2. We dispatch
The nearest available operator heads to you, with live updates so you are never left wondering.
3. Fix or recover
If we can get you going at the roadside we will. If not, we safely load and recover your vehicle.
4. Drop off
We take your vehicle wherever you need, home, a garage, or onward, and settle the agreed price. No surprises.
What to do if you break down on the A13
A few quick steps keep you safe while you wait for recovery.
Get to safety
Pull over as far from traffic as you can, switch on your hazard lights and, if it is safe, leave the vehicle from the side away from passing traffic.
Make yourself visible
Put on a hi-vis if you have one and use a warning triangle on normal roads. On a motorway or red route, stay behind a barrier and do not place a triangle.
Note your location
Look for a street name, building, junction or marker post. It helps us reach you faster and confirm the nearest safe access point.
