What Is Roadside Assistance?
Roadside assistance is support provided when a vehicle develops a problem during a journey and the driver needs help at or near the location where the vehicle has stopped.
The issue may be relatively straightforward, such as a flat battery or running out of fuel, or it may require the vehicle to be recovered to another location.
Roadside assistance can be useful when:
- Your car will not start
- Your battery has gone flat
- You have run out of fuel
- You have a flat or damaged tyre
- Your vehicle has suffered a mechanical problem
- Your vehicle has stopped unexpectedly
- You are unsure whether the vehicle is safe to drive
- Your vehicle needs further recovery or transportation
GOOD TO KNOW
What Roadside Assistance Do We Provide?
A.A.D Transport & Recovery provides roadside recovery support for different vehicle problems across Birmingham.
Depending on the situation, assistance may include:
Breakdown Assistance
If your vehicle breaks down and cannot continue normally, contact us with your location and details of the problem. We can discuss the appropriate roadside recovery option.
A flat battery can prevent your vehicle from starting, even when there are no other obvious problems. Our roadside service includes battery assistance and jump-start support.
Running out of fuel can bring a journey to an unexpected stop. A.A.D Transport & Recovery provides fuel delivery support by bringing the appropriate fuel to the roadside to help you continue your journey where possible.
A flat or damaged wheel can leave your vehicle unable to continue. A.A.D’s existing roadside service includes wheel-change assistance using specialist equipment.
Vehicle Recovery
If the problem cannot be resolved safely at the roadside, the vehicle may need to be recovered or transported to another location.
HOW IT WORKS
What Should You Do When Your Car Breaks Down?
If your vehicle develops a problem while driving, your first priority should be safety.
Where possible:
01
Move the vehicle to a safe location away from moving traffic.
02
Switch on your hazard warning lights.
03
Keep yourself and passengers away from dangerous traffic areas.
04
Do not attempt repairs if you are in an unsafe position.
05
Contact roadside assistance and explain the problem.
06
Provide your exact location so help can be arranged.
AT A GLANCE
When Do You Need Roadside Assistance?
Drivers often wait because they are unsure whether their problem is serious enough to call for help.
Roadside assistance can be appropriate when:
If you are uncertain, explain the symptoms to the recovery team rather than continuing to drive a vehicle that may be unsafe.
- The engine will not start
- The vehicle suddenly loses power
- A warning light appears alongside a serious vehicle problem
- The battery is flat
- You have run out of fuel
- A tyre has gone flat
- A wheel or tyre has been damaged
- The vehicle has stopped after a mechanical failure
- You are unsure whether it is safe to continue driving
Roadside Assistance or Vehicle Recovery?
These terms are often used together, but they can involve different levels of support.
Roadside assistance is generally focused on helping with a vehicle problem at or near the place where the vehicle has stopped.
Vehicle recovery may be required when the vehicle cannot safely continue and needs to be moved to another location.
For example, a flat battery may be dealt with through roadside battery assistance. However, if the vehicle has a serious mechanical fault and cannot safely continue, transportation or recovery may be more appropriate.
A.A.D Transport & Recovery provides both roadside recovery and vehicle transportation, allowing the next step to be considered based on the vehicle’s condition and situation.
KEY SITUATIONS
Roadside Assistance for Different Vehicle Problems
Not every breakdown looks the same.
Car Won't Start
A vehicle that will not start could have a flat battery, electrical issue, fuel problem or another fault. Explain what happened before the vehicle stopped.
Engine Failure
Engine problems can leave a vehicle unable to continue. A.A.D's roadside service specifically lists engine failure support and recovery to a suitable location or garage.
Flat Battery
If the vehicle has electrical power problems or will not start after lights or other equipment have been left running, battery assistance may be appropriate.
Out of Fuel
If your vehicle has stopped because the fuel tank is empty, fuel delivery can help you get the vehicle moving again where appropriate.
Flat or Damaged Wheel
A flat tyre or wheel problem may prevent safe driving. Roadside wheel-change support may be available depending on the circumstances.
GOOD TO KNOW
What Information Should You Give When Calling?
Giving clear information can help the recovery team understand your situation.
Your exact location
Vehicle make and model
Vehicle registration
What happened
Whether the vehicle is currently running
Any warning lights or obvious symptoms
Whether the vehicle is blocking traffic
Whether you have passengers with you
Your intended destination if recovery is required
When contacting A.A.D Transport & Recovery, provide:
If you do not know the exact cause of the problem, do not worry. Simply describe what happened before the vehicle stopped.
Roadside Assistance at Home, Work or on the Road
A vehicle does not have to break down on a major road for roadside assistance to be useful.
You may need help:
- Outside your home
- On a residential street
- At your workplace
- In a car park
- Outside a business
- On a local Birmingham road
- After leaving a garage
- During a longer journey
- At another accessible location
Tell us where the vehicle is and what has happened so we can discuss the appropriate assistance.

What If the Vehicle Cannot Be Fixed at the Roadside?
Not every vehicle problem can be resolved where the vehicle has stopped.
If the issue requires further attention or the vehicle is not safe to drive, recovery or transportation may be needed.
A.A.D Transport & Recovery provides vehicle transportation alongside roadside recovery, so a vehicle that cannot continue can be considered for movement to a suitable destination such as a garage or other agreed location.
The important thing is not to keep driving simply because the vehicle has started again if there ar
