A huge thank you to Simon
A huge thank you to Simon who came to my rescue on the A483! Breaking down is never a pleasant experience, but Simon made the whole ordeal so much easier. He arrived without any delay whatsoever — no waiting around, no stress — just a prompt, efficient response exactly when I needed it most.
From the moment he arrived, Simon was professional, friendly, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. The whole job was handled brilliantly from start to finish. You can tell he takes real pride in his work and genuinely cares about the people he's helping.
If you find yourself in need of breakdown assistance, you'd be very lucky to get Simon. An absolute credit to the job. Well done Simon — thank you so much! 🙌

Wrexham, North Wales, Chester car & Van recovery for all drivers along the A483, A55, A541. Welsh roads are often my favourite places to travel to. Towing specialists like me are often a great recovery service as knowledge & an early response time matters. Richards comments are very honest he mentions pride in my work.
As a Breakdown Man I am always looking to help and find ways to help others. Its essential, urgent, immediate or quick towing. Often visiting customers needing car towing or van recovery in Llandudno, Llangollen.
Richard was broken down so its interesting to learn here he asked Google Gemini. Im always interested in how my towing company is searched. After all people matter, the job is important but most of Richard contacted myself.
Its great feedback and with 50 years life experience, 25 years towing locally to Wrexham offering a North Wales Recovery Service the Breakdown Man Is always a super option for caravan towing, van breakdown, car recovery, winching service.
Richard we live in a digital age so finding a professional, friendly, efficient Breakdown Man is always useful to know. Your feedback is appreciated and it will ultimately help others. Many thanks Simon the Breakdown Man.
Great service
Simon went above and beyond to help get my van out of a tricky situation today and got us home safely highly recommend

Simon the Breakdown man. Well worth the job.
I was getting really messed about by the R.A.C. I telephoned Simon the breakdown man. Simon straight away was friendly, efficient couldn't do enough to help me. Picked me up from my home address. Then we went to collect the car. Took me to my garage for it to be repaired. Couldn't gain access helped him push my car nearly half a mile to the garage as the road was very tight with parked cars. Then took me to the car hire place dropped me off for me to collect my hire car. Can't thank him enough really nice fellow. Down to earth and not a rip off like other companies. Thank you Simon for today you were awesome 👍
