About Local Transport

What we do

Local Transport is a UK roadside assistance and recovery service built around three things drivers actually need when something goes wrong: car recovery when a vehicle can't be driven, a jump start when a flat battery leaves you stranded, and mobile tyre replacement when a puncture or blowout stops you in your tracks. One phone number — 07737 477003 — covers all three.

How the service works

We're a come-to-you service. Rather than making you get a stricken car to us, we come to where you are — the roadside, your driveway, a work or supermarket car park, wherever you've stopped. You call, tell us your location and what's happened, and we give you a clear quote before anything is agreed. If it's a job we can do on the spot — a jump start or a tyre change — we do it there. If the vehicle needs moving, we recover it on a flatbed or spec-lift to your home, your garage of choice, or another destination.

There's no membership to buy and no annual policy. You call when you need us and pay for the job in front of you, at a price you agreed up front. That suits people who don't want another subscription, drivers whose cover has run out or won't help, and anyone who just wants the problem sorted quickly.

Where we cover

We operate across the United Kingdom, covering 1,108+ towns and cities — from major conurbations like London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow to smaller towns that national operators can be slow to reach. You can browse the full list on our areas we cover page, or simply call and tell us where you are.

Honest advice, not upselling

Not every problem has the same answer, and we'd rather tell you the truth than sell you the dearest option. If a battery is clearly at the end of its life, we'll say so instead of leaving you to break down again a mile down the road. If a punctured tyre can be safely repaired under the UK standard rather than replaced, we'll tell you. And if a job genuinely isn't safe to do where you are — on a motorway hard shoulder, for instance — we'll recommend the safer route. Our advice & guides are written in the same spirit: genuinely useful, whether or not you ever call.

Insured and accountable

Local Transport operates as an insured roadside assistance and recovery service. We're a trading name rather than a limited company, which keeps things simple and direct — when you call, you're dealing with the people doing the work, not a call-centre.
