How we can help in Hayes
Vehicle recovery in Hayes
The A312, known as The Parkway, is the spine. The Hayes Bypass section opened in 1992 and cut through Bulls Bridge and the Pump Lane Industrial Estate, taking through traffic out of the old town centre, which could then be pedestrianised. The Grand Union Canal runs through the middle of town. North of Hayes it continues towards Northolt; south, it meets the M4 at Junction 3.
From Junction 3 to Junction 12, the M4 is a smart motorway with no permanent hard shoulder. Junction 4 is where the A408 Stockley Road heads north past Stockley Park and the spur drops south to Heathrow's central terminals. On the smart section, a car that loses power should head for an emergency area. If you're stuck in a live lane, stay belted in with hazards on and call 999 before anything else. We don't change tyres at the motorway roadside.
Stockley Park, a 274-acre business estate between Hayes, Yiewsley and West Drayton, also houses the VAR hub for English domestic football, and it's a common place for a car to refuse to start at the end of a long day. So is the Old Vinyl Factory on Blyth Road, the old EMI works that pressed Beatles records and now has flats, offices and a car park called The Music Box. Hayes and Harlington station is on the Elizabeth line, and cars left nearby for a day's commute are another common callout.
If you've been at Hillingdon Hospital and the car won't start, we can collect from there too. Once the car is loaded, it can go to a garage in Hayes, your home, or back to a main dealer. If you've just landed and the car was left in a car park near the airport, tell us which one and the level.

Hayes recovery & roadside FAQs
I've broken down on the M4 between Junctions 3 and 4. What should I do?
That's a smart motorway with no permanent hard shoulder. If the car is still moving, get into an emergency area or off at the next junction. If you're stopped in a live lane, stay belted in with hazards on and call 999. Once you're safe, call or WhatsApp 07944 820302 with the junction and your direction.
I got back from a flight and my car won’t start. Can you help?
Yes. A car left for a week or two often has a flat battery, and a jump start or new battery in the bay usually sorts it. Tell us the car park, the level and the bay, and whether it's a multi-storey, because a truck won't fit under most roofs.
Can you get to a car at Stockley Park?
Yes. Tell us the building name and the car park, and whether there's a barrier or a security gate the van needs to get through.
Can you take my car from Hayes to a dealer outside London?
Yes. Slough, Reading, Watford or anywhere else. Give us the address and the price we agree covers the whole run.
How do you price a recovery from Hayes?
From where the vehicle is, what it is, whether it rolls and steers, and how far it's going. You'll know the figure before we book the truck.
