My wife recently used crouche recovery service as she had a turbo pipe blow on the M1 in her nissan on the northbound carriage way . The cost of returning the vehicle home to leicester was £180 plus. I have read of other recovery services " towing " vehicles, which im not too sure about, should i be on the motorway, with my automatic 75. Are there any independents doing this type of work recovery only ... with reliable national coverage ? My policy on greenflag , as with other policies, does not really want you recovered to your home. if miles away, and would insist upon taking you to the nearest garage !! any ideas of a cheaper option for recovery only anyone ... ?

Recent thread on this subject recently xsport. Various listed prices for the various services provided.
By the way, £180 for the Nissan recovery is not outrageous especially for Crouch. Had to pay that to get my Stag recovered (only for the second time in my 40 years of ownership) 15 miles due to viscous fan failure. Firm "selected" from the Yellow Pages method with a 2 hour wait. Not bad really.
