(Not sure whether this is in the right place, (Please move if you have to) but wanted to get as much coverage as possible for my query.)

Hi Guys,

I am kind of doing my own little bit of research at the moment into breakdown of your/our Historic Military vehicles and was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to answer the following questions for me ?

Do you have any kind of breakdown/recovery service for your vehicle ?

If, so with who ? And approx. how much does it cost for the year ?

If not, would you be interested in it ? And approx. how much was the most expensive recovery charge it has cost you so far ?

I don't have any breakdown/recovery service for my vehicles and am interested in finding out if there is anyone out there that deals with this, and how much they charge, whether it is a year's membership deal or a pay as you go service etc.

I am guessing Jeeps would be ok as they would fall under any car recovery service?? So, this is more for the larger vehicles, GMC's, Dodge's etc.

Many thanks in advance of the floods of responses I am about to receive.

Thanks a lot,
Cara

P.s, please state whether you are answering in regards to the US or the UK. Thanks. x

Cara,

Partial breakdown assistance is provided by HMV insurance carrier. Their website with info can be found here:

Looks like they are available in the UK also (from the link on their website).

Unfortunately the $100 limit does not go very far in moving a 2.5 ton 10 wheeler.

I also have "Bill's Towing" That would be the car trailer with winch that I tow behind my pickup.

I thought this issue is why Matt was buying the DT Wrecker?

I generally have used my neighbor in his pick up to tow me and the CCKW in, but then I never get more than a few miles away from the house when going to events. I have not needed to be pulled in about two years now , since I totally rebuilt the entire fuel and electrical system.
