Need help moving a broken-down car or van? Elite Chariots Automotive Ltd provides car recovery, van recovery, roadside assistance and accident recovery across West Lothian from our base at Albyn Industrial Estate in Broxburn.

BREAKDOWN RECOVERY WEST LOTHIAN

Breakdown recovery and roadside assistance

For a non-starting vehicle, tell us what happens when you try to start it. We can assess flat-battery jump-start requests and arrange vehicle transport where a fault needs workshop attention.

If your car or van cannot safely be driven, we can agree delivery to your chosen garage, home or another suitable location. Provide the receiving contact and any access restrictions so the collection and handover can be planned.

WHAT WE OFFER

Car recovery, van recovery and accident recovery

Our car recovery service covers unexpected breakdowns and planned movements of non-running vehicles. Van recovery is assessed using the vehicle’s dimensions, condition and loaded weight.

For accident recovery, send photographs and tell us about damaged wheels, steering or suspension. We assess suitable loading before agreeing transport. If you need somewhere for the vehicle while repair arrangements are made, ask about storage availability at our Broxburn yard.

HOW IT'S WORKS

What to send when requesting recovery

Give us your exact location, vehicle registration, make and model, a description of the fault and the destination. Tell us whether the vehicle starts, rolls and steers. For vans, include the approximate loaded weight; for damaged vehicles, photographs help us assess loading.

For urgent help, call rather than relying on an email enquiry.
