1.1 Welcome to Breakdown Recovery Near Me Ltd (“we”, “us”, or “our”). These terms and conditions (the “Terms”) govern the use of our services, including but not limited to mobile tyre fitting, vehicle recovery, and roadside assistance.
1.2 By accessing or using Breakdown Recovery Near Me services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, please do not use our services.
2.1 Breakdown Recovery Near Me acts as a third-party intermediary, connecting customers with vetted and approved mobile tyre fitting and vehicle recovery providers across the UK.
2.2 Customers may request quotes by calling our hotline or visiting our website. Breakdown Recovery Near Me will then search its network to find the most suitable and cost-effective service provider.
2.3 Important: A non-refundable deposit is required from customers to confirm and secure the services of the selected provider before any work is carried out.
3.1 Deposit Requirement: A deposit must be paid to secure the services of the chosen provider.
3.2 Non-Refundable Deposits: Deposits are strictly non-refundable if cancelled by the customer, regardless of the reason for the cancellation. This applies whether the job is cancelled by the customer or due to circumstances beyond our control. This policy is in place to protect our business and ensure commitment from the customer.
3.3 No Refunds on Cancellations: If you cancel the job after paying the deposit, you will not be entitled to a refund. No exceptions will be made in this regard.
3.4 Partial Refunds for Driver Failure: If the selected driver is unable to complete the job after the deposit is paid, Breakdown Recovery Near Me may, at its sole discretion, offer a partial refund. Such refunds are not guaranteed and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
4.1 Upon receiving the deposit, Breakdown Recovery Near Me will provide you with the driver’s contact information and details for the selected service provider.
4.2 We are not responsible for any disputes that arise between the customer and the service provider after driver details have been provided. Once a deposit is paid and the service is arranged, the customer is responsible for liaising with the driver directly for any further requirements.
5.1 Customer Responsibility: It is the customer’s responsibility to provide accurate information about their vehicle and its condition. Any failure to disclose important details (such as whether the vehicle rolls or has mechanical issues) may lead to additional charges or a cancellation without a refund.
5.2 Provider Liability: Breakdown Recovery Near Me is not liable for the actions, performance, or services provided by the third-party recovery or tyre-fitting companies. Once the service provider has been assigned, any issues or complaints must be directed to them.

6.2 Bank Transfers Preferred for Deposits Over £150: For deposits exceeding £150, we strongly recommend paying by bank transfer. This method offers more security for the customer and reduces the risk of disputes. Customers can request a refund from their bank in case of an issue, ensuring peace of mind.
6.3 Chargeback Prevention: We work hard to ensure clarity in our pricing and services. However, any customers initiating chargebacks fraudulently will be challenged, and we will submit all supporting evidence to defend against such claims.

8.1 Dispute Process: In the event of a dispute between the customer and Breakdown Recovery Near Me or its service providers, the customer agrees to first attempt to resolve the issue directly with us.
8.2 Arbitration: If a resolution cannot be reached, any disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration, under UK law. Court litigation is not an option unless required by law.
9.1 Updates: Breakdown Recovery Near Me reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. In the event of significant changes, we will notify customers via our website or other means. Continued use of our services after any such changes indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.
