How to preparing your vehicle for tow
Remove your valuables
You should remove your valuable personal items from the vehicle to ensure that nothing gets damaged or broken whilst the vehicle is transported.
Take off the handbrake
Ensure to disengage the brake before we load your vehicle onto our tow truck; otherwise, it could get damaged. Our top priority is looking after your car while it is being moved; we’ll ensure that everything is ready and in the correct order before commencing the tow.
Close your windows
Make sure to close your windows to prevent debris, dust or dirt from entering your vehicle. It also reduces the unlikely event of theft once we get your car where it needs to go.
Take photos
Our expert mechanics will always take the best care of your vehicle possible. However, we still recommend that you take pictures of your car just in anything out of our control were to happen.

Common causes of car breakdowns
Flat battery
A flat battery in Sheffield is very common in winter when the temperature drops. If you can’t start your car, it could signify a flat battery. A vehicle’s battery is charged by the alternator whilst running. Therefore if your car is left unused for a while, it can mean there is no power in the battery when you start the engine. Cold temperatures increase the rate at which the battery drains, which is why this is much more common in winter. Another reason why a dead car battery may occur is if you leave the headlights on, this uses electrical energy from the battery. When this energy runs out, the battery can no longer start the engine. Lots of short journeys can shorten the life of the battery, so we recommend taking your vehicle out for longer journeys once in a while to help avoid a dead battery. If you get a flat battery in Sheffield and are unsure how to fix it, call us, and we’ll be out to you as soon as possible.
Failed started motor
As indicated by your vehicle being unable to start, if you hear a clicking noise whilst turning the key or possibly no noise, it is likely that your starter motor has died.
Damaged tyre or wheel (including a flat tyre)
Punctures are usually caused by a sharp object impacting your tyre or if the tyre hits a pothole or kerb. It is identified by increased drag and the car potentially pulling to one side.
Electrical issues (alternator)
If your car sometimes cuts out when idle or if you notice that your headlights are significantly dimmer than usual, then this is a sign of electrical problems. Another signal is the ignition light coming on, combined with a quick rise in engine temperature. Either of these could signal that the alternator belt or the water pump has broken; you should stop and call us immediately.
Running out of fuel or putting the wrong fuel in the vehicle
This can be an embarrassing phone call, so make sure not to overestimate how much fuel is in your tank, as a car’s display will not always be accurate with little fuel in the tank. If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill it up immediately.
If you put the wrong fuel in your vehicle, don’t start the engine; call for assistance.
Engine oil
Having the wrong oil level in your engine can cause issues. Too much is just as dangerous as too little. Too little oil can cause the engine to overheat, and too much can increase the pressure within the engine. To prevent this, you should regularly check the level of your engine oil with the dipstick, ensuring the level is between the two lines.
What to do if you break down on the motorway?
If your vehicle starts slowing down or you notice something wrong, you should first pull over to the side of the motorway onto the hard shoulder. Once you come to a stop, immediately put your car’s hazard lights on and also your sidelights if it is foggy or nighttime. After this:
- Leave the vehicle through the left-hand door and put on any high-vis clothing that you have with you.
- Using your mobile phone, call Car Recovery Sheffield on 01143031088. If you don’t have a phone, walk on the off-road side of the safety barrier to one of the emergency phones at the side of the motorway. You won’t have to walk more than half a mile to reach the nearest phone.
- Wait on the other side of the safety barrier for us to reach you; we aim to be with you within one hour and will tow your car to a place of safety.
What to do if you break down on a smart motorway?
A smart motorway is a section of motorway designed to increase vehicle capacity and reduce congestion. This is done by removing the hard shoulder in favour of another lane. If a vehicle was to break down, a lane can be closed via one of the signs above the highway.
If your vehicle breaks down on a smart motorway, you should take your vehicle off the motorway at the next junction and stop at the side of the road. If this isn’t possible, move to the left-hand lane before slowing to a stop and putting your hazard lights on. As with a breakdown on a typical motorway, put your hazards and sidelights on and leave your vehicle via the left-hand door wearing any high-visibility clothing that you have. Then call for help from our professionals on
01143031088.
How to prepare for a long journey
Inspect your tyres
Check the tread depth (this needs to be a minimum of 1.6mm), and tyre pressure (correct pressures can be found in your car's owner's manual) and make sure that there are no bulges in the sidewall of your tyre.
Check under your bonnet
Have a general look at the engine and battery to ensure no apparent leaks or cracks and that non of the connections are loose.
And make sure to save our number 0114-303-1088 in your phone for if an unforeseen incident happens
