Car Recovery in Sandy, Bedfordshire 24/7, from right here in Sandy

Sandy is where Tug & Tow Recovery has been based since 2002, so if you break down on the A1 by the Sandy roundabouts, outside Sandy station, or on the lanes out to Potton, Everton or Moggerhanger, you're calling a local recovery operator, not a call centre. You speak to Scott, the person who comes out, and you get a straight answer and a quote before anything happens.

In a dangerous position on a live carriageway? Call 999 first, then call us.

Local knowledge

Where we help around Sandy

We know these roads because we drive them every day. Here are the spots people call us from most often.

The A1 at Sandy

The A1 runs right past Sandy between Biggleswade and Tempsford, with roundabouts at both ends of town. If you stop on the dual carriageway, get out on the verge side, wait behind the barrier if there is one, and call 999 if you're in danger. Once you're safe, call us and tell us which side of the road and which junction you're near.

Sandy station & the town centre

Flat battery after a long day at work, or a car that won't start in the station car park or near the Market Square? We bring the ECU-protected jump kit, and if it's more than the battery we'll recover it home.

Potton, Everton & the B1042

The Potton road and the lanes up to Everton have soft verges and ditches. If you've slid off on a wet or icy night, we can winch the car back onto firm ground and recover it.

Moggerhanger, Blunham & the A603

Broken down on the A603 towards Bedford or in one of the villages west of Sandy? We're close by, so you're not waiting on a truck from the other side of the county.
