VEHICLE RECOVERY IN HAYWARDS HEATH.

You speak to the person who comes out, every job is tracked by live GPS, and you get a price on the phone before we set off.
Who we are
VEHICLE RECOVERY IN HAYWARDS HEATH, FROM WEST CHILTINGTON.
Plenty of recovery calls in Mid Sussex get passed to whoever a national network can find. We are a small West Sussex firm and we do the job ourselves, from the first phone call to handing back the keys.
Haywards Heath is where honesty about distance matters most. We come across the county from West Chiltington, along the A283 and the A272 or up to the A23 at Bolney, and on a normal weekday that is a sensible run. It is not a five minute one, and we will never pretend it is. When you ring, we tell you what we are doing and roughly how long we will be, and if the honest answer is too long for your situation we will say so rather than let you stand there.
What you get in return is the person who quotes the job, comes out to you and hands back the keys. Haywards Heath is one part of our vehicle recovery across West Sussex, alongside vehicle recovery in Crawley up the A23 and vehicle recovery in Horsham across the A272.
The roads
THE HAYWARDS HEATH ROADS WE GET CALLED TO MOST.
The A272 is the one. It runs straight through the middle of the patch, from Bolney and Ansty in the west through Haywards Heath to Scaynes Hill and on towards Uckfield, and it carries a lot of traffic that is crossing the county rather than stopping in it. There is not much room to pull off on the stretches either side of the town, so a vehicle that stops there needs moving rather than leaving.
The A23 at Bolney and Hickstead is the second. The dual carriageway is fast, the junctions are busy, and a car on the slip road at Hickstead is in a worse spot than it looks from the driving seat. Get everyone out and behind the barrier, then ring us from there.
The A273 down through Burgess Hill and Hassocks towards Brighton is the third, and the B2112 between Haywards Heath and Lindfield is the one with the least room to stop.
Then there are the lanes. Cuckfield, Ansty, Scaynes Hill and the villages east towards Horsted Keynes are single track in places with passing places rather than a shoulder, and a vehicle stopped there is blocking the road for everyone behind you. Mention it when you ring so we bring the right approach.
What we take
WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT RECOVER IN HAYWARDS HEATH.
Cars, vans and light commercial vehicles, on open or enclosed trailers. A lot of what we lift around Haywards Heath has been standing a while rather than just stopped: a classic kept in a barn out towards Ansty that will not turn over, a commuter’s car that has died in the station car park over a long trip away, a van that has sat on a Cuckfield driveway through the winter. We also take the A272 lane jobs, where the vehicle is blocking a single track road rather than parked on a verge, so getting it clear quickly matters as much as loading it. Vehicles that have been standing for years on a driveway or in a barn and need winching because the brakes have seized and the tyres are flat. Low cars that would ground on a standard ramp, which we load carefully on low ramps. And anything you would rather was not sitting out in the rain on an open truck, which goes on the enclosed trailer.
Two honest limits, so nobody in Haywards Heath waits for a truck that cannot help them. We cannot load anything over 2.8 tonnes. That takes almost every car and small van but not the heavier commercials, so tell us the make and model when you ring and we will give you a straight answer.
We do not take on accident work. If the car has been in a collision on the A272 or the A23, call your insurer’s accident line first, because accident management is a different business from ours. If it has simply stopped, call us.
Cost
WHAT DOES VEHICLE RECOVERY COST IN HAYWARDS HEATH?
Recovery in Haywards Heath does not have one price, and any firm that prints one on a webpage is either guessing or building in a margin for the jobs that turn out to be hard.
A pick-up from a Lindfield driveway to a garage in Burgess Hill, a midnight winch out of a lane near Scaynes Hill and a barn recovery out towards Ansty are three genuinely different pieces of work, and the distance from West Chiltington is part of the honest number rather than a surprise on the invoice. What we will do is give you the price on the phone, before we set off, and it will be the price you pay.
So ring 01403 458457 and describe it. It takes about thirty seconds and there is nothing to commit to.
Questions
VEHICLE RECOVERY IN HAYWARDS HEATH, ANSWERED.
Do you cover Burgess Hill, Cuckfield and Lindfield as well as Haywards Heath?
Yes. Cuckfield, Lindfield, Scaynes Hill, Ansty, Bolney, Hurstpierpoint and Burgess Hill. See areas we cover for the wider picture.
How quickly can you get to Haywards Heath?
It depends what we are already doing, and you get a real number when you ring rather than a stock answer. Haywards Heath is the eastern edge of our regular patch, so we would rather tell you an honest time and let you decide than promise a number we cannot keep.
Can you recover a car that has not run for years?
Yes. Around Haywards Heath it is often a car that has sat in a barn or a garage for years. That is a winch job rather than a drive-on, so say so when you call and we will bring the right kit.
Can you take my car to a garage in Brighton or Crawley rather than one in Haywards Heath?
Yes. You choose the destination, whether that is home, your usual garage or a dealer, and we deliver it there rather than to whichever yard is closest for us.
Is my vehicle covered while you have it?
We are fully insured for vehicles up to 2.8 tonnes, and every job is tracked by live GPS so you can see where your vehicle is rather than wondering.
Do you do enclosed transport too?
Yes. If the vehicle is valuable or you simply do not want it exposed, we have an enclosed trailer. See enclosed car transport. For planned moves that are not an emergency, we also do vehicle transport across Sussex and nationwide.
