FAQ - Everything You Need to Know.

MJC Auto Recovery has operated since 2010 — over 16 years of specialist vehicle recovery in London and across the M25 corridor. MJC has completed approximately 8,000 recoveries, holds a 5.0-star Google rating, and operates on a "mechanics first, recovery second" philosophy.

Never — every MJC job is handled by an MJC driver in an MJC vehicle, without exception. MJC does not use third-party aggregators, bidding platforms, or unvetted subcontractors — a non-negotiable part of maintaining safety standards, insurance validity, and 5.0-star service quality.

Yes — MJC Auto Recovery is a fully registered UK Ltd company (Company No. 15926631) carrying Motor Trade insurance, £5,000,000 Public Liability, and £1,000,000 Goods in Transit cover on every job. Full documentation is available on request for trade accounts and insurance claims. See our about MJC.

MJC operates as a "mechanics first" service — technicians carry diagnostic equipment and attempt a roadside fix before resorting to a tow. Every recovery is handled by an MJC employee in an MJC vehicle. We never subcontract, unlike the vast majority of recovery firms.

Most recovery drivers cannot — but MJC technicians can, carrying professional OBD diagnostic equipment on every callout. MJC's "mechanics first" approach means every vehicle is assessed before a tow is considered — fault codes, electrical faults, and battery issues are frequently resolved at the roadside.

Yes — MJC's specialist EV and hybrid technicians hold IMI Level 2/3 qualifications for high-voltage vehicle handling and roadside safety. These qualifications cover safe approach to damaged EVs, high-voltage isolation procedures, and flatbed loading protocols — required by insurers to validate EV recovery claims.

Payment is taken on completion — MJC accepts cash, all major debit and credit cards, and secure bank transfers. No advance payment required before dispatch. Trade and fleet account holders can be invoiced on agreed credit terms. Fully itemised VAT receipts provided on every job. See our pricing page.

Long-distance car recovery is priced per mile from collection — rates are priced from £1.30 per mile depending on vehicle size and distance (April 2026). Fixed quote always confirmed before dispatch. Multi-drop and return-journey rates are available for trade operators — call for a fixed quote before dispatch.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

No — MJC charges the same price 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays, with no out-of-hours surcharges or weekend premiums. Any price variation — for distance or vehicle type — is included in your fixed quote before dispatch. No surprise additions after the job.

No — a vehicle on an MJC flatbed with wheels fully off the road does not trigger the ULEZ or Congestion Charge, because TfL cameras identify vehicles by wheel rotation. Your recovery will not attract either charge as a result of MJC travelling through these zones. See our pricing page.

No waiting time charges are applied without prior agreement — MJC allows a reasonable grace period on arrival. If significant delays occur beyond that, any additional charges are clearly explained before they apply. Nothing is added to your bill without your knowledge. See our pricing page.

No — passengers are typically included at no extra cost, including 7-seater recovery vehicles for families or larger groups. Let MJC know your passenger requirements when booking. Everything is agreed upfront in your fixed price — no surprises on arrival.

If you cancel before dispatch, there is no charge. Once a vehicle has been dispatched, a small cancellation fee may apply to cover fuel and time already committed — always explained before it is applied. MJC will never present an unexpected charge. See our pricing page.

Possibly — recoveries involving underground car parks, multi-storey structures, or non-running vehicles requiring specialist wheel-skating equipment may carry an additional charge. This is assessed at booking — never sprung on you at the scene. Your fixed quote always reflects the full scope of the job.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Completely immobilised vehicles may require specialist wheel skates or extended winching time, which can affect the price. If your brakes are seized, wheels are locked, or steering is faulty, let MJC know when you call. Any additional cost is confirmed before dispatch — no on-the-spot price changes once a job is accepted.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — all London car recovery jobs are subject to a minimum charge of £70, covering dispatch, driver time, and specialist equipment regardless of distance. Your fixed quote makes this clear before we set off.

All MJC quotes clearly state whether VAT is included — there are no hidden additions beyond the agreed price. Trade customers requiring a VAT invoice receive a fully itemised document on completion. If you have a specific VAT query, ask when you call. See our pricing page.

For drivers who break down infrequently, paying MJC per incident is typically more cost-effective than an annual AA or RAC membership — with no joining fee, no monthly cost, and a fixed price confirmed before dispatch. MJC also provides specialist EV and classic car recovery that standard membership clubs often cannot match. See our pricing page.

The motors generate induction heat that destroys the drivetrain and inverter — Tesla vehicles must always be transported on a flatbed. Tesla prohibits wheel-lift and dolly towing for all models because the motors remain connected to the wheels. MJC Auto Recovery uses flatbed transport for all EV recoveries as standard and activates Tow Mode before winching commences.

Tow Mode is a manufacturer setting that prepares an electric vehicle for safe flatbed transport. It releases the electronic parking brake and prevents the drivetrain from re-engaging during loading. Without it, the recovery process can damage the motor or inverter. MJC technicians are trained in activation sequences for Tesla, BMW i-Series, Hyundai, Kia, and all major UK EV brands. See our EV recovery service.

Each brand has a different sequence: Tesla via Controls > Service, BMW via Vehicle Settings > Transport Mode, and Hyundai or Kia via the Instrument Cluster menu. MJC technicians carry digital manuals for all major UK EV models and verify Tow Mode is active before winching commences. Call us and we will walk you through it. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — Tesla, BMW, and Audi all specify flatbed-only transport in their owner manuals, and wheel-lift towing is a documented cause for warranty rejection. MJC provides written confirmation of flatbed transport and IMI-qualified EV handling, giving you the documentation your insurer and manufacturer require.

Yes — MJC provides specialist flatbed recovery for all electric and hybrid vehicles sold in the UK, including Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, and VW ID.3. This includes Tesla, BMW, Polestar, Porsche Taycan, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Hyundai Ioniq, Kia EV6, and all plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). IMI Level 2/3 qualified technicians handle every EV callout.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

MJC will diagnose whether the fault is a flat 12V auxiliary battery or a depleted main traction battery — two very different problems requiring different solutions. A flat 12V system is resolved with an EV-safe jump-start. A depleted traction battery requires flatbed recovery to the nearest DC rapid charger. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

If the driven axles are not completely off the ground, the reduction gears will be destroyed. Most modern EVs are rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. Towing on a standard wheel-lift without wheel skates on the remaining wheels destroys the reduction gears. MJC defaults to flatbed transport for all EV recoveries to eliminate this risk entirely.

A pothole impact can trigger a high-voltage isolation fault, cutting power to protect the battery. This safety shutdown occurs when the battery management system detects a severe jolt. MJC technicians perform a roadside diagnostic to determine whether the fault can be cleared on-site or requires specialist isolation recovery. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — MJC recovers EVs where an Over-the-Air software update has failed and left the car electronically locked and unresponsive. MJC uses specialised 12V boosters to wake the system, or wheel skates to move the car if it remains locked in Park. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

MJC uses manufacturer-specific manual release overrides to safely disconnect a stuck charging cable without damaging the port or charger. Our technicians locate hidden manual release pulls — often behind boot liners or under the bonnet — to safely disconnect you. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

The unregulated voltage surge can destroy the EV's DC-to-DC converter — never use a standard car or cheap booster pack on an electric vehicle. MJC uses voltage-stabilised professional power packs designed specifically for EV low-voltage 12V systems, eliminating this risk entirely.

Yes — MJC uses physical bypasses to release the brakes when a Tesla MCU or touchscreen is completely dead and Tow Mode cannot be activated. MJC technicians use 12V external power injection or mechanical brake releases to make the vehicle free-rolling before loading safely onto the flatbed. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Your insurer may request proof of qualified handling — MJC provides a professional Recovery Incident Report that meets this requirement. MJC drivers are IMI Level 2/3 qualified for high-voltage EV handling, ensuring your claim remains valid and satisfies all insurer requirements.

MJC performs a thermal assessment using infrared cameras before loading any EV that has sustained a floor-pan or underside impact. If heat spikes are detected, MJC coordinates with specialist storage facilities — mitigating the risk of thermal runaway in transit. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

The Red Zone is the mandatory 48-hour fire watch quarantine required when an EV battery is compromised in a collision. The damaged vehicle must be stored at least 15 metres from any building. MJC identifies these risks on-site and coordinates with specialist storage facilities that meet current UK safety protocols. See our EV recovery service. See our accident recovery service.

Yes — MJC can recover your electric vehicle to any charging hub of your choice, including Ionity and Tesla Supercharger networks. Many customers prefer a rapid charger to test whether a DC charge resolves the issue before committing to a garage repair. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — MJC provides specialist flatbed recovery for e-Transits, Vivaro-e vans, and electric Luton vans, prioritising fleet calls to minimise missed delivery windows. We liaise directly with fleet managers to expedite recovery to a depot or repairer. See our EV recovery service. See our van recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

An isolation fault is a safety shutdown triggered when the vehicle detects high voltage leaking to the chassis — typically after a flood or collision. MJC technicians use insulation testers to verify the vehicle is safe to approach before commencing recovery. This mandatory step is routinely skipped by unqualified operators. See our EV recovery service.

The electronic parking brake may be seized or unpowered — most EVs lock the brake automatically if the 12V battery dies. MJC uses power-injection tools to release the brake electronically, or wheel skates to roll the car safely onto the flatbed without forcing the drivetrain. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — MJC uses over-the-tyre soft straps exclusively on EV aero wheel covers, never chains or metal hooks that crack or dislodge the plastic covers. Our straps never contact the rim or the aero cover at any point during loading or transit. See our EV recovery service.

MJC recovers your EV without you present, provided you have shared a digital key or left a physical key in a secure location. The entire process is documented via 360-degree photographs, and a job-completed report is sent to you via WhatsApp and email. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Tesla Transport Mode and Tow Mode are essentially the same procedure — both accessed via the Service menu to release the parking brake for flatbed loading. MJC technicians verify this mode is active before winching commences to prevent motor overheating. See our EV recovery service.

MJC Auto Recovery's average EV recovery response time across London is 35 minutes, operating from four strategic hubs in Streatham (SE20), Kilburn (NW6), Slough (SL2), and Aylesbury (HP21). Motorway calls on the M25 and M1 are treated as priority dispatches. MJC operates 24/7 including bank holidays. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — MJC recovers all hybrid vehicles including full hybrids, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and mild hybrids using flatbed transport to protect the high-voltage system. Hybrid recovery rules differ from standard petrol cars — MJC technicians are IMI Level 2/3 qualified and follow manufacturer-specific protocols for every hybrid brand. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — the Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe, and VW ID.3 each have specific transport modes that must be activated before flatbed loading to prevent drivetrain damage. MJC technicians carry digital activation guides for all three models and verify transport mode is active before winching commences. See our EV recovery service.

The gearbox rotates without lubrication, causing seizure or expensive internal wear — classic cars must always be transported on a flatbed. Older gearboxes rely on the engine running for lubrication. MJC uses low-profile flatbeds and wheel skates to keep the drivetrain completely isolated during every recovery. See our classic car recovery service.

MJC attaches non-marring soft straps directly to the main chassis rail or suspension crossmember — no tow eye required. This chassis-safe soft-bridle technique avoids strain on steering components, original chrome bumpers, or period-correct bodywork. No metal contact at any point during loading. See our classic car recovery service.

MJC uses ultra-low approach ramps and hydraulic tilt-beds, reducing the loading angle to just a few degrees for low splitters, chrome valances, or sensitive exhausts. For cars such as a Jaguar E-Type or lowered supercar, this ensures zero underbody contact during loading. See our classic car recovery service.

MJC uses high-grade synthetic rope winches rather than steel cables — synthetic rope cannot snap back or whip if it fails. Soft-eye straps prevent any metal contact with chrome or painted surfaces. Wire-wheel spokes and knock-off hubs are never touched or stressed at any point. See our classic car recovery service.

MJC uses over-the-tyre soft-eye straps exclusively — no metal J-hooks, no chains, and no contact with wheels, chrome, or paintwork at any point. Our polyester straps contact only the rubber tyre, allowing the car's suspension to move naturally without frame-tug or paint-rub. See our classic car recovery service.

Yes — MJC carries £1,000,000 Goods in Transit insurance covering classic and prestige cars at their true market value, not a standard book price. This level of cover is underwritten specifically for prestige and collector vehicles — most independent operators do not carry it.

Yes — MJC uses Go-Jak technical dollies to slide a classic car out of a tight residential garage without clipping walls or door frames. This technique is essential for classic cars with no power steering and limited manoeuvrability.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

MJC technicians understand vintage electrical architectures including positive-earth and 6-volt systems found in pre-1970s British classics. MJC carries voltage-specific boosters — standard 12V jump packs instantly damage original dynamos and wiring looms. We never connect without confirming polarity first. See our classic car recovery service.

Yes — MJC uses Go-Jak technical wheel skates to float the vehicle onto the flatbed without the wheels ever rotating or dragging. Dragging a car with seized brakes flat-spots tyres and destroys brake shoes. MJC never forces or drags. See our classic car recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — MJC can perform a dry-crank to build oil pressure safely before recovery, preventing bearing failure caused by starting a long-stored engine without lubrication. As qualified mechanics, we check oil condition first and turn the engine over without ignition until pressure is confirmed. See our classic car recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

MJC identifies the primary steel load-bearing points and uses a soft-bridle around the chassis — never hooking the timber frame directly. Cars such as Morgans or pre-war classics use timber frames that cannot withstand standard winch tension.

No metal contacts the vehicle — MJC uses over-the-tyre soft-eye straps and sleeved winch cables exclusively. No metal ratchets, hooks, or chains come near the paintwork, chrome, or bodywork at any point during loading or transit. See our classic car recovery service.

Yes — MJC handles Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren recovery using electronic parking brake bypasses, specialist low-angle ramps, and £1,000,000 Goods in Transit insurance.

No — using MJC does not affect your insurance claim, as MJC provides fully itemised invoices and digital photographic evidence meeting all UK insurance standards. MJC also provides a technician's report explaining why specialist recovery was required — essential where sensor or structural risks are involved.

Yes — MJC provides fully itemised VAT invoices accepted by all UK insurance providers, including job details, vehicle registration, recovery route, and technician's notes. If your insurer requires a condition report or technical assessment, MJC provides that too.

Yes — MJC coordinates with the Charge Point Operator (CPO) and uses tight-access equipment to extract your EV from a narrow residential street charger. We liaise with the CPO to ensure the charger is safely isolated before recovery begins. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

You are fully exempt — a vehicle on an MJC flatbed with wheels off the road does not trigger the Congestion Charge or ULEZ regardless of your vehicle's registration status. TfL cameras identify vehicles by wheel rotation, not by the transported vehicle's plate.

Yes — MJC operates specialist low-profile urban recovery trucks designed for underground car parks with height restrictions as low as 1.9 metres. Where even a low-profile truck cannot reach, MJC uses Go-Jak wheel skates to manoeuvre your EV out to a safe loading position. See our EV recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

No — vehicles on an MJC flatbed with all wheels off the road do not trigger ULEZ or the Congestion Charge. TfL cameras identify vehicles by wheel rotation, not the transported vehicle's licence plate. A wheel-lift operator leaving your wheels on the road risks a penalty notice. MJC uses flatbed as standard.

No — vehicles on an MJC flatbed with all wheels off the road do not trigger the Congestion Charge or ULEZ, because TfL cameras identify vehicles by wheel rotation, not the transported vehicle's plate. MJC uses flatbed transport as standard to eliminate this risk entirely.

Standard recovery trucks cannot — but MJC's specialist low-profile urban recovery trucks are designed for underground car parks with height restrictions from 1.9 metres. Where even a low-profile truck cannot access, MJC uses Go-Jak wheel skates to manoeuvre the vehicle out to a safe loading position.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — MJC's fleet is fully ULEZ and Congestion Charge compliant, covering every zone in London without passing additional charges to the customer. We recover your vehicle from any ULEZ or Congestion Charge zone without you incurring penalty charges as a result of the recovery itself.

Yes — MJC operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year including bank holidays, dispatching from four London-area hubs. Our dispatch team covers all 32 London boroughs and the City of London, the M25, and the wider Home Counties around the clock.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

MJC operates from four strategic hubs: Streatham (SE20), Kilburn (NW6), Slough (SL2), and Aylesbury (HP21) — positioned to cover London and the M25 corridor. This hub structure maintains the 35-minute average response time across all 40 key London areas. All four hubs operate 24/7.

MJC's 35-minute average response time is further prioritised for these callouts.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — MJC technicians carry professional OBD diagnostic equipment and resolve many faults on the spot, avoiding a tow entirely. This "mechanics first" approach is MJC's core differentiator. Fault codes, electrical issues, and battery problems are frequently resolved at the roadside.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — MJC technicians carry professional OBD diagnostic equipment and can identify crank-no-start faults at the roadside, whether caused by fuel pump failure, a sensor fault, or a security system issue.

Yes — MJC has secure monitored storage facilities for vehicles that break down overnight or require holding before a repair appointment. MJC notifies you before any storage charges apply and provides a full condition report at drop-off.

MJC's storage facilities are monitored and secure, but personal items left in the vehicle are not covered by MJC's insurance policy — remove high-value belongings before handover. This is standard practice across all professional storage facilities.

MJC notifies you before any storage charges apply — typical short-term secure storage for accident recovery or insurance assessment is charged daily and confirmed in advance. MJC coordinates with your insurer to minimise storage duration. Contact MJC for current storage rates. See our accident recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — MJC recovers SWB, LWB, and high-roof Luton vans up to 3.5 tonnes using commercially rated flatbeds and 7.5-tonne tilt-and-slide trucks.

MJC can carry payloads up to 2,700kg on specialist twin and triple-axle beavertail trucks — suitable for heavy LWB vans, light plant machinery, and large commercial vehicles. For loads exceeding 3,500kg, MJC recommends a specialist heavy haulage operator. See our van recovery service.

Yes — MJC's 7.5-tonne tilt-and-slide truck safely recovers fully laden extra-long-wheelbase and high-roof Luton vans in a single movement.

Yes — MJC uses dedicated motorcycle recovery equipment including wheel chocks and soft sub-frame straps on every two-wheeled recovery, never standard vehicle straps. MJC secures every bike without compressing fork seals, stressing the frame, or making metal contact with fairings. Scooters to superbikes handled with the same care.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — MJC understands the strict no-clamping rules for carbon-fibre frames and uses padded soft-loops throughout, ensuring no metal ratchets contact fairings or frame components. Ducati Panigale to Lamborghini Aventador SVJ — handled the same way every time. See our motorcycle recovery service.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

MJC uses dedicated wheel chocks and subframe soft-tie straps that hold the bike firmly without applying any pressure to the front forks or compressing fork seals.

Yes — MJC uses specialised motorcycle skates and loading cradles to lift the rear end and glide the bike onto the loader, preventing damage to the swingarm or gearbox. MJC does not drag a bike stuck in gear or with a seized chain.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — MJC's £1,000,000 Goods in Transit insurance covers all two-wheeled vehicles at true market value, from custom cruisers to rare vintage classics. Standard operators typically carry only £10,000–£25,000 in GIT cover — insufficient for a high-value motorcycle.

Yes — MJC specialises in moving industrial equipment up to 3.5 tonnes (3,500kg) on 7.5-tonne tilt-slide and high-payload beavertails. Most standard recovery trucks are illegally overloaded by a 3.5t digger — their actual payload is often under 1,500kg.

MJC's £1,000,000 Goods in Transit insurance is essential for plant hire because a single generator or Kubota can easily exceed £50,000 in replacement value. MJC's cover protects your assets at full replacement value — a level standard operators cannot match.

Yes — MJC carries heavy-duty winches and ground-protection kits for extracting machinery from mud, gravel, or soft ground on construction sites. Site extraction is assessed case-by-case — call with equipment type, weight, and ground conditions before dispatch.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Yes — MJC transports generators, compressors, and site equipment between depots and construction sites across London using 2,700kg payload beavertail trucks.

Use the what3words app — it pinpoints your exact position to within 3 metres, essential on motorways and rural roads where postcodes cover entire streets. Use the button on the MJC website to share your what3words address directly, or read the three words to our dispatcher over the phone.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

Use what3words or the nearest blue marker post — what3words works offline and pinpoints your exact position to within 3 metres. Give MJC the numbers on the nearest blue motorway marker post, or open the what3words app and read your three-word address to our dispatcher.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp

what3words divides the world into 3-metre squares, each with a unique three-word address — far more precise than a postcode in a breakdown. A WhatsApp pin can drift by up to 50 metres in central London. MJC uses what3words as its primary dispatch tool — the same system used by UK emergency services.

A what3words address is fixed to within 3 metres and never moves — a WhatsApp pin can drift by up to 50 metres under motorway bridges or in built-up London areas. what3words is used by UK Police, Fire, and Ambulance services. MJC adopts the same standard.

what3words is a fixed technical address — WhatsApp Live Location is a dynamic social tool that relies on continuous mobile data and can drift by up to 50 metres. A what3words address remains the target even if your phone battery dies or your data drops entirely.

It eliminates human error — what3words generates your address automatically from GPS position with no map interaction required, unlike a pin you can accidentally drop in the wrong location. The same system is used by UK emergency services. MJC adopts it as standard. See our what3words tool.

Yes — on a motorway, what3words shows MJC's dispatcher exactly which side of the carriageway you are on and which junction you are closest to. Motorway marker posts are often obscured by rain or darkness. This prevents the recovery truck heading in the wrong direction — a mistake that costs an hour in a live-lane environment. See our what3words tool. See our M25 recovery.

Yes — the what3words app works fully offline using your phone's built-in GPS, with no mobile data or Wi-Fi required. This is critical in rural areas, motorway tunnels, or anywhere with poor signal. Once your three-word address appears, read it aloud to MJC's dispatcher over a standard voice call.

Open the free what3words app and wait for the GPS to settle — your unique three-word address appears at the top of the screen. Read those words to MJC's team, or share them via WhatsApp or SMS. This helps MJC maintain its 35-minute average response time. See our what3words tool.Call 07344247000 · WhatsApp
