When a car cannot continue its journey, discuss transport to an appropriate destination rather than attempting to drive it. Share its location and condition, and ask for confirmed availability and timing. Do not rely on a fixed arrival time before the request is accepted.
Mention locked wheels, restricted access and any vehicle-specific transport instructions.
Explain the breakdown situation
Describe the known fault without testing an unsafe vehicle. Useful details include wheel and steering condition, parking position and access restrictions. Confirm availability and expected timing during the conversation rather than assume a form triggers automatic dispatch.
Before confirming a request
Agree on pickup, destination, loading method and the quote’s inclusions. Share parking restrictions and recipient details, and ask for confirmed availability and timing during the conversation.
What to discuss before booking
- Loading method suited to the vehicle’s condition
- Pickup, destination and site access
- Availability, timing and quote details
