Can you collect my vehicle without me?
Usually the registered keeper or named driver must attend the pound in person with ID and documents. In some cases we can collect without you once the pound has fully released the vehicle to us – call to discuss your situation.
What if my car has no MOT or tax?
A vehicle without MOT or tax should not be driven on the road, but it can still be moved on a recovery truck. We regularly move non‑roadworthy vehicles from pounds to garages or storage sites.
What if I have lost my keys?
We can still transport a vehicle without keys, although loading may take a little longer. You may need a locksmith or your garage to supply a replacement key once the vehicle has been moved.
Can you take my car straight to a garage?
Yes. Many customers ask us to take their vehicle directly from the pound to a mechanic or bodyshop so repairs or checks can start immediately.
Do you deal with the police or council fees for me?
No. You remain responsible for paying all police, council and storage fees directly to the pound, but we are happy to explain the process and timings as best we can.
