Breakdown recovery
Your car will not start or will not go any further — we come to you and take it where it needs to be.

Dartford is about eleven minutes from our base. Urban Bear Recovery covers the town, the crossing approaches and the surrounding estates 24 hours a day — breakdown, accident, non-runner and transport.
Dartford is defined by the Crossing. The A282 through the town carries everything heading for the bridge and the tunnels, and when the crossing backs up the whole road network around it stiffens. We plan the approach around that rather than pretending it is not happening — which is also why we will give you a realistic time on the phone rather than a hopeful one.
Most of what we are called to in Dartford is either a breakdown on a busy approach road or a vehicle that has stopped somewhere it really cannot stay. Both need the same thing: a flatbed, quickly, and someone who knows which way round the traffic to come.
If you are on a live carriageway, get behind a barrier if you safely can and stay on the line — we will keep talking while the truck is moving.
