Recovery in Dronfield, in practice

Dronfield is a commuter town in a valley, which produces a very particular set of call-outs. Cars that will not start on a driveway on a cold morning when somebody needs to be at work. Vehicles that have given up on the climb out towards Dronfield Woodhouse. And the A61, which is the road everybody uses to get to Sheffield or Chesterfield and is therefore the road most people break down on.

The older streets around the bottom of the town are narrow, and the hills either side are steeper than they look on a map. Both matter when a flatbed has to get to a vehicle and then get back out again with it loaded.

Coal Aston, Unstone, Holmesfield and Apperknowle are all part of the same run.

Whatever has happened, it is one of the eight things on the service list — most often a straight recovery, a jump start or a winch pull-out.

Dronfield questions

Can you get a recovery truck down the narrow streets in old Dronfield?

Usually, but it is worth saying on the phone if the vehicle is somewhere tight. We would rather know before we set off, because the answer sometimes is to move the vehicle a short distance first rather than try to bring the truck all the way in.

Do you cover Dronfield Woodhouse and Coal Aston?

Yes, along with Unstone, Holmesfield, Apperknowle and Barlow. They are all the same run from the A61. Ring 07394 784531 with the road name or postcode and we will give you a straight ETA.

My car will not start and I need to be at work.

Say that when you ring. A mobile jump start is often the fastest answer, and if the battery will not hold, we will tell you rather than get you going and leave you to break down again in a car park later.
