Simon and his family were on a day out when they had to cancel all arrangements so it's great we could tow their van quickly and reassure them nothing was too much trouble. Thanks Again Simon & Team
Excellent service
After breaking down on the motorway near knutsford, i contacted RIG Rescue and they turned up very quickly. They were very polite and professional and took a lot of care when loading up my vehicle. The tow truck that turned up was immaculate and had space for 6 people. Would highly recommend using them if you’re in need!

Thank you Sam, fantastic feedback. We appreciate customer feedback and are pleased we were able to get you back on the road again. Rig Rescue 24HR Recovery & Roadside Towing Ltd, Unit 8, Prestwood Court, Leacroft Road, Risley, Warrington, WA3 6SB
What a trooper
What a trooper! Simon was so helpful and considerate. He is always full of genuine advice and concern. After moving my Boxer, he then rang around and got me a quote for half the price the dealership had quoted, and that, was a full £5000 cheaper from a professional garage! What a service.
It was the second time I had used him and it is always good to make genuine contacts in life you know you can trust.

I was so impressed with how much Dave cares about his vehicle and it clearly had me thinking. His van was his pride and joy and his way to earn a living as a local tradesman. Dave also remembered us which is a great compliment. It's a big thank you for the kind and honest feedback and I hope you can fix your van soon. Many people rely on their vehicles each day so I can really understand its so essential towing services can be. Thanks again Dave and let me know if your van needs towing again. Simon & Clare

Thank you for your great feedback Christy, we always do our best to help customers and appreciate your recommendation.
Very helpful and nice
I was actually rescued by Rig Rescue when I couldn't get any help when my tyre burst on motorway. I was there for ages, I couldn't do it because of my broken back. And all of a sudden a Recovery car pulled over and in no time i was back on the road.
Simon was very polite and nice, he helped me straight away, without any hesitation or questions and did not even charge me to change my tyre.
He made sure I know how to pull out of the bay safely and guide me what would be the best way to do it as the motorway was too busy at that time of night.
Thank you Simon, stay blessed 🙂
Reliable and Great service, 100% recommended to do business with them.

THE BEST OF THE BEST
My campervan set alight on M6 I called fire brigade who put out fire who were amazing.contacted my insurance for recovery.Advised them I'm disabled and had my dog. 7hrs later I was still there.Eventually I was told they couldnt
get a recovery for me and I'd have to sort it myself.I rang Rig that arrived quickly and friendly the guy calmed me down and reassured me.We dropped campervan at a garage Simon then took us to change from recovery van to his comfortable car as I was in a lot of pain from standing hours, my legs are one of my disabilities.He drove an 1hr&40mins to my front door.I arrived home about 9.30pm and the journey was full of genuine consideration from Simon and good conversation.I arrived home feeling less anxious& confident in what I needed to do next . Top class, professional, genuinely friendly people, I highly recommend Rig rescue.As a camper van owner Rig rescue are THE ANGELS OF RECOVERY ⭐🦸
