Your exact stretch of the A90 and direction of travel are essential. Once you are safe, call DSBM with a pin and the nearest junction.
Tell us which stretch you are on
“The A90” covers a long journey. Tell us the nearest town or junction, whether you are travelling towards or away from Aberdeen and if you are on the main carriageway or a slip road. A map pin helps confirm the approach.
Get emergency help if you cannot get clear
If you are stranded in a live lane and cannot leave safely, keep your belt and hazards on and call 999. Follow Highway Code breakdown guidance and any police instructions.
Give us the vehicle problem
Registration and symptoms help us assess the recovery. Tell us about an overheating engine, clutch failure, a wheel problem or collision damage. Only take photos if you are already in a safe place.

We can discuss a suitable garage, home delivery or a longer movement. If the garage is closed, agree the receiving arrangements before booking. DSBM confirms availability and the current arrival estimate when you call.

Your questions, answered.
Can I just send an A90 postcode?
A pin and direction of travel are better on a main road. A postcode can lead to the wrong access or carriageway.
Can you recover a van from the A90?
We assess suitable vans by their actual weight, dimensions, condition and access. Give these details when calling.
Can you take my car home further away?
Ask for an onward recovery or transport quote to the destination you need. The route and availability are confirmed before agreement.
