Tow truck cover for Lowick
When you need breakdown recovery in Lowick, the situation usually falls into one of two groups. Either you are on a rural lane near the village, where traffic is light but help is far away, or you are heading for the A14 at Thrapston, where traffic is heavy and fast. Rapid Recovery Corby sends a tow truck for both, 24 hours a day.
We are PAS 43 accredited and ISO 9001 certified, and we carry goods in transit, public liability and road risks insurance.
What should I do if I break down near Lowick?
Your first job is to make yourself safe. The vehicle can wait.
On a rural lane:
- Stop as far left as you can, ideally in a field gateway or on a firm verge.
- Hazards on, plus sidelights at night.
- Wait away from the car, off the road and out of the way of farm vehicles.
On the A14 or another fast road:
- Pull onto the hard shoulder, verge or into a lay-by if you can.
- Hazards on and everyone out on the side away from traffic.
- Stand behind the barrier if there is one, and wear a high-vis if you have one.
- If you are stuck in a live lane and can't get out safely, call 999.
Then call us on 07598 314366. Our A14 breakdown advice and what to do if you break down guides go into more detail.
Breakdown recovery in Lowick: typical jobs
Farm lanes and soft ground
Lanes around a farming village see mud, standing water and verges that give way under a wheel. We recover cars and 4x4s that have slid into a ditch or bogged down, using a winch to bring them back onto firm ground before loading.
Commuter breakdowns
Drivers from Lowick who use the A14 put a lot of miles on their cars. Clutch, gearbox, cooling and electrical failures are all common. We recover the vehicle to your chosen garage, your home or our secure yard.
Accident recovery
We handle accident recovery for private drivers and for insurance and accident management companies. If anyone is hurt, call 999 first. Once the scene is safe, we clear the vehicle and store it if needed while the claim is sorted.
Non-runners at home
A car that has failed its MOT or stopped running on the drive can be taken to a garage. Seized wheels and tight spaces are handled with our van, dollies and skates.
Floodwater
Low points on rural lanes can hold water after heavy rain. If your engine stalls in floodwater, don't try to restart it, as that can cause serious engine damage. Call us and we will recover it.
Vehicles we recover
| Vehicle | Usual truck |
|---|---|
| Cars and hatchbacks | Spec lift tow truck or beavertail |
| 4x4s and SUVs | Beavertail, with winch if off-road |
| Vans up to 3.5 tonnes | Beavertail |
| Campervans | Beavertail, planned around size |
| Motorbikes | Beavertail with bike restraints |

If two vehicles need moving, some of our trucks can carry one and tow another on a dolly.
