About Tyne Road Rescue

Who we are

Tyne Road Rescue is a local vehicle recovery and transport operator serving Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider North East of England. We help drivers whose cars and vans have broken down, been damaged or simply need moving from one place to another.

Being local means we know the region's roads, from the A1 and A19 to the Coast Road, the Tyne Tunnels and the routes out into Northumberland and County Durham. When you call, you are speaking to a business that knows the area, not a distant call centre.

What we do

Our work falls into two main areas.

Emergency recovery

We are available 24 hours a day, every day, for breakdowns, accidents, flat batteries, flat tyres and vehicles that will not start at home. If your vehicle cannot be sorted where it is, we can take it to your home, a garage of your choice or another safe address. See our recovery services for the full list.

Planned vehicle transport

Not every job is an emergency. We also move non-runners, MOT failures, auction purchases, project cars and vehicles going to or from garages and bodyshops, both locally and over longer distances. Our vehicle transport page explains more.

How we work

A breakdown is stressful enough without surprises. These are the principles we stick to on every job.

• Honest estimates. Arrival time depends on location, traffic and current workload. We will give you a realistic estimate when you call, not a promise we cannot keep.
• Price confirmed first. Cost depends on distance, vehicle and the work involved. We confirm the price with you before we set off, so you know where you stand.
• Careful loading. We take time to load and secure every vehicle properly, whether it is a family car, a works van or a classic that has not turned a wheel in years.
• Clear communication. We explain what we are doing and what happens next, in plain language.

Areas we cover

We work across Newcastle and the surrounding towns, including Gateshead, Wallsend, North Shields, South Shields, Whitley Bay, Gosforth, Cramlington, Blyth, Ponteland, Washington and Sunderland. We also travel further across the North East, and beyond for planned transport. Our areas we cover page has the details.

Our commitments to you

• We will treat your vehicle with the same care we would want for our own.
• We will never pressure you into a decision at the roadside.
• We will tell you honestly if a job is outside what we can safely do, and point you towards another option where we can.
• We will put your safety, and the safety of other road users, first.
