How we can help in Haverfordwest
Vehicle recovery in Haverfordwest
Coming from the east, the A40 is dual carriageway for about ten miles from Carmarthen to St Clears. After that it becomes a mixture of two- and three-lane single carriageway, including the 2+1 layout of the Robeston Wathen bypass, before it reaches the roundabouts on the edge of town. North of Haverfordwest the A40 carries on to Fishguard, finishing with the three-lane Fishguard bypass on a gradient of around 10%, and then down to Goodwick for the Stena Line sailings to Rosslare. If you're heading for a ferry, tell us the sailing time so we can plan around it honestly.
The A4076 goes south through Merlin's Bridge and Johnston to Milford Haven. The A487 leaves westwards for St Davids, and the B4329 climbs north across the Preseli hills to Eglwyswrw. It's high, open country, and if your phone signal is weak, note the last farm or junction you passed before walking to a place with signal.
Withybush, on the northern side of town, holds the hospital, retail parks, the airport and the county showground, so a lot of car parks in one area. Withybush General Hospital's car parks are a common place to come back to a flat battery after a long appointment. In the centre, the bus station stands beside the Riverside Quay shopping centre, and Haverfordwest station is on the West Wales line with trains to Carmarthen and Milford Haven.
One local rule is worth knowing if the car needs to go to Pembroke Dock. The Cleddau Bridge carries the A477 between Neyland and Pembroke Dock. It has been toll-free since March 2019, but the council closes it to vehicles taller than about 1.9 metres when winds pass 50 mph, and to everyone above 70 mph. A recovery truck is taller than that, so on a wild day the trip goes the long way round by road. We'll tell you if that affects your job before you agree the price. Otherwise a recovered car can go to a local garage, to your home, or back towards Carmarthen or Swansea.

Haverfordwest recovery & roadside FAQs
We've broken down on the A40 on the way to the Fishguard ferry. Can you help?
Yes. Tell us where you are, which way you were heading and your sailing time. If the car can be got going with a jump start, a battery or a tyre, that's the quickest route to the port. If it can't, we can take it to a garage or home and you can speak to Stena Line about changing your crossing. We won't promise to make a sailing we can't make.
Can you take my car over the Cleddau Bridge to Pembroke Dock?
Usually, yes. The bridge has been toll-free since 2019, so there's no charge to cross. In strong winds the council stops taller vehicles from using it, and a recovery truck counts as a taller vehicle, so on a very windy day the route goes round by road instead. We'll tell you if that applies before you agree the price.
I've broken down on the B4329 over the Preselis and my signal keeps dropping. What should I do?
Stay with the car if it's safely off the road, hazards on. If you have to move to get signal, note the last junction, farm name or landmark you passed and which way the car is facing. A what3words reference or a map pin by WhatsApp to 07944 820302 is the fastest way to tell us exactly where you are.
My car is stuck in the Withybush Hospital car park with a flat battery. Can you come out?
Yes. Tell us which car park you're in and roughly where, the make and model, and whether it's a hybrid. A jump start or a new battery fitted in the bay usually sorts it without the car needing to go anywhere.
