Clutch gone, engine trouble or a car that will not move? Tell us what happened and where you need it taken. We assess suitable car recoveries across Aberdeen, with onward delivery to a receiving garage, home or another agreed destination.
City parking and awkward access
For city-centre bays, industrial units in Dyce or yards around Bridge of Don, send the exact entrance or a map pin. Height barriers, parking levels, locked gates and narrow access matter before a vehicle can be collected.
Locked wheels and low cars need preparation
We carry recovery skates for suitable loading jobs. A gearbox stuck in park, a seized brake or damaged suspension may need additional equipment. WhatsApp photographs help us understand the condition before setting off.
Fair pricing for the recovery you need
The collection point, destination and loading work determine the quote. Get an online recovery estimate or call 01224 044741 for an urgent job. We confirm the work and price, plus the current arrival estimate from the vehicle available for your location.

CAR RECOVERY QUESTIONS
Do you recover cars in Aberdeen?
Yes. We take car recovery enquiries across Aberdeen, including city streets, homes, workplaces and garage transfers. Send the street or a pin, any access restriction and the destination. DSBM is based near Fraserburgh; your arrival estimate depends on where the recovery vehicle is currently working and availability.
How quickly can you get to me?
Our local response target is 30–60 minutes across our main work area in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Arrival depends on where our recovery vehicle is working, your exact location, the job and current availability. Call 01224 044741 for your ETA.
How much does car recovery cost?
Call 01224 044741 for an urgent recovery price, or use our online quote system for a guide price. The office confirms the final price and availability before your job is booked. There is no obligation to book when requesting a quote.
Can you recover a car that will not start?
Yes, subject to the vehicle and collection conditions. Tell us if it rolls, steers, comes out of gear and has a working parking-brake release. If a battery or starting fault may suit mobile assistance, we can discuss that option first.
Can you recover a car with locked wheels?
We use recovery skates and suitable winching for assessed jobs with locked wheels or awkward loading. Tell us which wheels are affected, the parking-brake condition and the space around the car. Send photographs before we confirm the method.
Can you recover a lowered or modified car?
We welcome enquiries for low and modified cars. Send the model, approximate clearance and pictures of the front, side and wheels. We assess the loading angle, access and suitable equipment before accepting the job.
Can you deliver my car to my chosen garage?
Yes. Confirm that the garage will accept it, supply the address and give us the receiving contact and opening arrangements. Tell us about keys, authorisation and any requirement for an out-of-hours handover.
Can you collect from a bodyshop, insurer or recovery yard?
Yes, by arrangement. We need collection authority, the vehicle reference, condition, access and release arrangements. Tell us about a hold or restriction before booking. The receiving site must agree to the handover.
Can I book car recovery without a breakdown membership?
Yes. You can request a one-off car recovery directly from DSBM Recovery LTD. Call 01224 044741 with the location, registration and destination. We confirm that the job is suitable, the price and the current arrival estimate before you book.
