Vehicle Recovery & Mobile Mechanics in Colchester
A12, A120 and Colchester town recoveries - plus mobile repairs and ECU work.
24/7 recovery and mobile mechanics in Colchester
Colchester sits where the A12 and the A120 meet, which means a huge amount of through traffic - lorries heading for Harwich and Felixstowe, commuters, holidaymakers and local drivers all share the same roads. A breakdown on the bypass or at the Marks Tey junction can cause a long tailback, so getting a stricken vehicle recovered quickly matters.
In the town itself we work around Castle Park and the town centre, the Garrison, the University of Essex and the retail parks at Stanway and Tollgate. We are also called to Colchester North station and the car parks around it, where a dead battery after a long day is a common problem.
Colchester is also a good fit for our ECU remapping and diagnostics work - for owners of diesel hatchbacks and vans who commute on the A12 and want better economy, or who have a warning light that nobody has been able to explain. We can scan and diagnose at your home or workplace, with no need to book a garage slot.
Local call-outs we are ready for
A12 and A120 breakdowns
High-speed roads with long stretches and few places to stop. Tell us the nearest junction or Marks Tey and we will get to you as safely as we can.
Warning lights and limp mode
Diesel engines doing a lot of short trips often throw up DPF and EGR warnings. We scan, diagnose and fix the actual cause.
Student and Garrison vehicles
Cars left standing at the university or garrison over a break often will not start. We come to you with a replacement battery or a jump-start.
