What this zone covers

Stranraer & The Rhins: a real 20-mile service coverage zone

This radius covers the Stranraer side of Wigtownshire and much of the Rhins peninsula. Ferry traffic, coastal roads and long rural approaches make location detail important: a vehicle described only as “near Stranraer” may be several miles from the town on a very different road environment.

The A75 connects Stranraer east toward Newton Stewart and Dumfries, while the A77 runs north through Cairnryan toward Ayrshire. The A716 serves the southern Rhins and the A718 connects the Portpatrick side, so these route names are useful when a postcode or street address is unclear.

For Cairnryan, Portpatrick and Rhins jobs, tell us whether the vehicle is in a terminal/parking area, on a public road or on a restricted-access site. For accident damage, photos of wheel angle, suspension and the loading approach help us assess whether skates or extra positioning time may be needed.

Recovery planning

What we can assess in this coverage circle

Breakdown & non-runner

Engine failure, no-start, electrical fault or a vehicle that cannot be driven safely. Tell us whether it rolls, steers and selects neutral so we can plan loading.

Accident-damaged vehicle

Send photos of the wheels, suspension and body damage. A car with locked wheels or damaged steering may need a different loading approach from a normal non-runner.

Van, LWB & XLWB

Many vans can be recovered subject to actual dimensions, weight and access. Registration, model, wheelbase/body type and any relevant load information help us confirm suitability.

Vehicle transport

For planned transport, private-sale collection, auction collection or garage/dealer delivery, send both postcodes and the vehicle condition for a clear door-to-door quote.

Location information

How to help us find you quickly

Share the exact pin. GPS is especially useful on rural, coastal and trunk roads.
Add direction and road number. On A75 or another major road, say which direction you are travelling and the nearest junction/settlement.
Describe the vehicle condition. Tell us if it starts, rolls, steers, selects neutral or has damaged/locked wheels.
Send access photos. Car parks, narrow lanes, gates, steep drives and accident scenes can require extra planning.
Give the destination. Garage, home, dealer, storage or another UK postcode — the destination affects the quote and route.
