Car recovery in York FAQs
Can you recover from the A64, the Hopgrove roundabout or York's ring road?
Yes. We cover the A64, the Hopgrove roundabout, the A1237 Outer Ring Road and the A19. The A64 and Hopgrove see regular incidents, so tell us the location and direction and we will dispatch the nearest operator.
Which York roads are worst for breakdowns?
The Hopgrove roundabout where the A64 meets the outer ring road, the A64 towards Grimston Bar, and the congested single-carriageway sections of the A1237 are the main ones, plus the tight walled-city streets. Our operators know them well.

Recovery starts from £90 and jump starts from £70 in York. 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.
