Wigan Born, Wigan Based, Wigan Focused.
I live and work right here in Wigan. Because I'm a solo operator, I prioritise my nearest neighbours first. If you're stuck in Pemberton, Ince, Standish, or Leigh, you aren't just a job number to me — you're a local resident who needs a hand.
By keeping my service area tight and my overheads low, I can get to you faster than the national chains and charge you significantly less.
No call centres, no robots. Just a local lad ready to help.
Local Knowledge
I know every back road, estate and shortcut in the borough — so I reach you fast.
No Middlemen, Lower Prices
Solo operator means no call-centre markup. You pay for the service, not the overheads.
Neighbours, Not Customers
You're not a ticket number — you're a fellow Wiganer who needs a hand.
Trusted Roadside Help for Our Wigan Pensioners
I know that breaking down can be stressful at any age — but it's especially worrying for older drivers. You shouldn't have to stand in the cold wondering if help is on its way, or worry about being overcharged by someone you've never met.
That's why I offer a personal, no-nonsense service with special consideration for Wigan's senior residents. One phone call to me, Simon, and I'll take care of everything.
No call centres, no robots. Just a local lad ready to help.
Priority Dispatch
I prioritise calls from senior drivers to make sure you're never left waiting at the roadside or sitting in a cold car.
Senior Discount
Fixed-price Senior Citizen Discount on local tows and jump-starts. No hidden extras, no surprises.
Door-to-Door Care
I don't just drop your car at a garage — I'll make sure you're safely inside your home before I leave.
Simple, Honest Pricing
No complicated apps or memberships. Just a direct call to me, Simon, for a price that fits your pension.
Fair Prices for Every Driver
I know that a car breaking down can be a financial disaster, especially if you rely on it for work or family. Wigan is a working town — people graft hard for their money. I respect that, and my prices reflect it.
I'll Beat Any Quote
If a local firm has given you a price, tell me. I'll aim to beat it to keep your costs down.
Flexible Approach
I work alone so I can be flexible. If you're in a tough spot financially, talk to me — I'd rather get you home safely.
No Hidden Fees
I quote you a price on the phone and that's what you pay. No call-out surprises, no sneaky extras.
A Fair Deal, Always
Solo operator means low overheads. You're not paying for a fleet of trucks and a call centre — just an honest service.
"I'd rather get you home safely for a price you can afford than leave you stranded at the side of the road."
— Simon, Breakdown Man
I'm not a big company trying to squeeze every penny. I'm one bloke with a truck who wants to help his neighbours. If money's tight, just be upfront with me — we'll sort something out.
No call centres, no robots. Just a local lad ready to help.
Rapid Towing Across the Borough
I'm usually just around the corner. Whether you've broken down at the shops, outside a hospital, or on a quiet residential street — I know the shortcuts to get to you fast.
Shopping & Leisure
Car won't start after a day out? I cover all the major spots — The Grand Arcade, Robin Park retail and leisure, and match days at the DW Stadium. One call and I'm on my way.
Hospitals & Medical
The last thing you need after a hospital visit is car trouble. I provide fast recovery from Royal Albert Edward Infirmary (Wigan Infirmary) and surrounding medical centres. Priority given to elderly and vulnerable drivers.
Residential Areas
Whether you're on the estates in Worsley Mesnes, the country lanes around Haigh, or anywhere in between — I know every back road and shortcut to reach you quickly.
Areas I Cover Regularly
Stuck somewhere not on this list? Don't worry — if you're within the Wigan borough, I'll be there.
