IMPORTANT: If another operator has arrived and is proposing a wheel-lift or hook recovery on your EV, decline immediately. Dragging an EV with driven wheels on the ground can destroy the drivetrain and void your warranty.

Why a Specialist Matters
Your EV Cannot Be Towed Like a Petrol Car.
In a conventional automatic, putting the car in neutral disconnects the engine from the wheels. An EV has no gearbox in the traditional sense – the motor stays physically connected to the driven wheels at all times.
Dragging an EV with driven wheels on the ground spins the motor like a generator, building up heat inside the windings, reduction gears and the inverter. The result: drivetrain damage costing thousands, and a warranty claim that more than likely will be rejected.
"Tesla, Hyundai, Volvo, BMW and Ford all specify the same thing in their owner's manuals: flatbed only. Incorrect towing can void your warranty."
MJC operates exclusively with flatbed and low-loader equipment for EV recovery. We use skates to ensure all drive wheels are off the ground – every time. No exceptions.
Ashoke (Ash)
EV & Diagnostics Specialist
MJC's authority on electric and hybrid vehicles. Attends complex EV callouts where a recovery operator alone just isn't enough — diagnosing faults before deciding whether to fix or recover.
Ash deploys roadside on complex EV callouts - fault codes, limp mode, post-collision assessments, and anything where knowing what happened matters before deciding what to do next.

What Happens When You Call MJC?
You call — we diagnose before we dispatch
We confirm your vehicle make, model, location and symptoms. If the fault sounds like something that we can fix on the roadside — a dead 12V battery, a clearable fault code — we say so upfront.
We dispatch the right equipment
A flatbed or low-loader — never a wheel-lift. For complex EV callouts, Ash or another EV specialist attends alongside the recovery operator.
We assess before we load
On arrival, the first question is always: can we fix this here? A roadside diagnostic before defaulting to a full recovery.
Tow Mode activated correctly
Every EV manufacturer has a specific procedure. We know them all, and confirm the parking brake is fully released before any loading begins. Where required, we deploy wheel skates to move the vehicle safely onto the flatbed without rolling contact - essential for EVs with locked drivetrains or damaged wheels.
Loaded from approved recovery points only
We use tie-down eyes specified in your owner's manual — not suspension arms, not the battery tray, not random chassis points.
Transport to your chosen destination
Home, dealership, EV-certified workshop, or the nearest rapid charger. Quoted upfront. Paid on completion.

A story that defines us
The day We Waded Knee-Deep on the A406.
That job is the clearest illustration of why MJC’s mechanic-first model exists. The right person, the right knowledge, the right instinct. Not just to load a car, but to understand what it means to its owner.
In July 2021, the A406 wasn’t a road – it was a raging river. The BBC news alerts said London was drowning in flash floods that stranded buses and shut down the city.
Amidst the chaos, we received a call from the owner of a classic Porsche 356, a beautiful silver piece of history, a striking red interior, and a much-loved car – submerged and stalled in a deep part of the North Circular. It was a car that had been gifted to her by her grandparents, imported from France.
Most would have waited for the water to subside. But our driver knew that for the owner, this wasn’t just a car; it was their pride and joy, stranded far from its home in Northampton. Wading through knee-deep water, he reached the vehicle, hooked it up, and began the painstaking process of recovering the car and taking it back home to Northampton.
But as all our drivers are mechanics at heart, he knew that water in a classic Porsche 356’s air-cooled engine could be a death sentence if left to sit. As the floodwaters receded, he knelt beside the silver beauty, popped open the rear bonnet, and began to work. With practised hands, he removed the spark plugs, cranked the engine to expel the water from the cylinders, then carefully dried the distributor and ignition components. He even checked the gearbox oil, finding traces of a milky substance due to contamination. He performed a makeshift drain-and-refill, ensuring the transmission wouldn’t seize later. It wasn’t a full restoration – it was a battlefield surgery, a mechanic’s instinct to save what mattered most.
When we finally handed the keys back in Northampton, the owner’s silent, relieved smile said it all.
"We didn't just recover a car that day. We returned a piece of her home."
