Car recovery in Cardiff FAQs
Can you recover from the A48, Gabalfa Interchange or the A4232 in Cardiff?
Yes. We cover the M4, the A48(M) and A48, the Gabalfa and Coryton interchanges and the A4232 distributor road to Cardiff Bay. A crash at Gabalfa can block the A48 both ways, so tell us the location and direction and we will dispatch the nearest operator.
Which Cardiff roads are worst for breakdowns?
The Gabalfa Interchange on the A48, the Coryton interchange with the M4, and the A4232 distributor road are the busiest and most incident-prone, along with central roads on Principality Stadium event days. Our operators know them well.
How much does car recovery in Cardiff cost?
Recovery starts from £90 and jump starts from £70 in Cardiff. The exact price depends on your vehicle, the distance and the time, and we agree it on the phone before we dispatch, with no call-out fee.
