The Aberdeen bypass needs a precise location. Send your pin, direction of travel and the last junction you passed when calling DSBM.
A familiar place name may be on the other side
A nearby business or village does not necessarily identify the correct access to the bypass. Tell us which way you are travelling, the last signed exit and whether you are on the main route, a slip road or a connecting road.
Put safety ahead of sending pictures
Keep clear of moving traffic where you can do so safely. If you cannot get clear safely or there is immediate danger, call 999. The Highway Code explains breakdown safety; follow attending police directions.
One call with the useful details
Give the registration and describe the fault, wheel condition and whether the vehicle can move. Tell us if a barrier, narrow verge or collision damage affects access. You can WhatsApp a location pin while the recovery arrangements are discussed.
Recovery around Aberdeen and beyond
DSBM assesses AWPR recovery enquiries with onward movement to an agreed destination. Call for actual availability and an arrival estimate. A submitted pin or WhatsApp message does not by itself confirm dispatch.
Useful details when you call
- Map pin, direction of travel and last junction passed.
- Main carriageway, slip road or connecting road.
- Registration, fault and whether the wheels turn.
- Your safe waiting position and required destination.

Call for availability, an arrival estimate and a clear price. WhatsApp is handy for photos and your location; call to arrange urgent help.
Your questions, answered.
Is the AWPR a motorway?
No. It is the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route. Give the road and junction details rather than assuming motorway-style location information.
Does sharing GPS book a recovery?
No. A pin helps locate you, but the job, price and dispatch need to be agreed with DSBM.
Can you collect me towards Dyce or Bridge of Don?
We assess recovery enquiries around the bypass and surrounding Aberdeen routes. Call with the exact location for current availability.
