WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT
We're Mechanics Who Drive Recovery Trucks.
Not Drivers Who Tow Cars.
When most operators arrive, they load your car. When MJC arrives, we diagnose it. Loose wire. Flat 12V battery. Seized relay. Half the time we get you moving in minutes without a tow — saving you time, money and the stress of a garage visit.
Our operators have been doing this since 2010. They’ve seen it all, fixed most of it, and recovered the rest.
✓ No hidden fees
✓ No membership needed
✓ Fixed price before we leave
✓ Roadside diagnosis before any decision to tow
✓ Fix-first approach – we tow only when it’s genuinely necessary

Used them a few times for my car and husbands motorcycle, great team, new smooth lorries and very well priced, they won't leave you waiting like all the other recovery companies we have come across, they even attemt to fix your vehicle on the side of the road before loading onto the truck, better then AA and RAC by a long mile.Posted on Rafael KodraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
