Car recovery is a service that sends a truck to move a vehicle that can't, or shouldn't, be driven. In Dubai that covers a breakdown on Sheikh Zayed Road, a flat battery in a mall car park, a car after a crash and a 4x4 stuck in the dunes. You contact one number, say what happened, and the dispatcher sends the right truck. Why do Dubai drivers need recovery so often? Dubai is tough on cars. Summer heat wears batteries and tyres down, highways like Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road carry heavy traffic all day, and weekend trips to the desert put sand under the wheels. Because of that, many drivers call for help at some point, usually for something simple: a battery that went flat overnight, a tyre that lost air, keys left inside the car. A short call to a vehicle recovery service turns that into a short wait and a clear next step. What is the difference between recovery, towing and a pullout? They sound alike, but each solves a different problem. A towing service moves a car that can't be driven from one place to another, for example from your home to a workshop. Recovery covers getting a vehicle out of a difficult spot first, such as after a crash. A pullout, which in Dubai means getting a vehicle out of sand, is what our car pullout service does: it brings a stuck vehicle back onto firm ground. A fix on the spot, like a jump-start from roadside assistance, often removes the need for any of the three. Tell the dispatcher what happened and they will say which one fits. Which vehicles can you recover? Everyday cars and SUVs, electric vehicles, luxury and sports cars, motorcycles, and larger vehicles such as trucks, buses and trailers. Each type needs different handling, which is why the first question is always what the vehicle is. Riders can read about bike recovery, and fleet or commercial drivers about heavy vehicle recovery. If your vehicle isn't on that list, send a photo and we will tell you whether we can help.How do I get a recovery truck to me fast? Send your live location pin on WhatsApp to +971 56 361 3657, or call the same number. Add the make and model and a line about what happened. The dispatcher replies with a quote, and average arrival across Dubai is about 30 minutes. What should I send on WhatsApp? Four things get the right truck moving: your live location pin, the vehicle's make and model, what went wrong, and where it needs to go. A photo of the car or the dashboard helps. A live pin beats a street name, because it removes any guesswork about which entrance of a mall or which side of the carriageway you are on. If you have no signal for a pin, a Google Maps link or the nearest landmark works too. If you are searching for help close by, the car recovery near me page shows how to share your exact location. How quickly will the truck arrive? Average arrival across Dubai is about 30 minutes, and it depends on traffic and how far you are from the city. Outer areas and desert sites take longer, and the dispatcher gives you an ETA on WhatsApp once you share your pin. Dispatch answers around the clock, every day of the year, in English and in Arabic. Do I have to stay on the phone? No. Once you have sent the details you can put the phone down. The whole exchange stays on one WhatsApp thread, which keeps the time, place and destination in one spot for later. Is Car Recovery Dubai a service I can trust? Customers rate us 4.8 out of 5 from 281 reviews, and you can read them, with names and dates, on our Google Business Profile. You get a quote before the job starts, so you stay in control from the first message.Flatbed or wheel-lift: which one does my car need? Most cars can go on either, but electric vehicles, all-wheel-drive cars, low sports cars and cars that won't roll should always go on a flatbed. A wheel-lift suits short city moves with an ordinary car. Tell the dispatcher the make and model and they choose for you. What is the difference between a flatbed and a wheel-lift? A flatbed carries the whole car on a tilting deck, so no wheel touches the road and nothing in the drivetrain turns. A wheel-lift raises two wheels and tows the car on the other two, which is quick and handles tight streets well. Both work well when matched to the car, and the match is what matters. Why do electric and all-wheel-drive cars go on a flatbed? Many owner's manuals for electric and all-wheel-drive cars say not to tow them with the wheels turning. Turning wheels spin the motor or the drivetrain, which can damage them. A flatbed avoids that completely, so EV recovery always uses one. A Tesla or a BYD follows the rule because of the electric motor, and a Land Cruiser or a Patrol follows it because of the all-wheel-drive system. What about luxury and sports cars? Low cars scrape on steep ramps and mark easily under the wrong strap. The answer is a flatbed, a gentle loading angle and soft straps, planned from the make, model and ride height. If your car is lowered, say so when you message. You can read more about luxury and sports car recovery before you call. Can you tow a car that won't start or roll? Yes. A winch pulls a non-running car onto the flatbed deck, and the wheels don't need to turn or steer. Tell us if the car is locked in gear, has a seized wheel or has lost its keys, so the right equipment arrives the first time. The aim is a car that reaches the workshop handled with care.What should I do if my 4x4 is stuck in sand? Stop spinning the wheels, share your location pin on WhatsApp, and wait with the vehicle in the shade. Our own 4x4 team pulls vehicles back onto firm ground with recovery straps or a winch. The first ten minutes are simple, and they help a lot. How does a car pullout service work in Dubai? Soft sand catches Land Cruisers, Patrols and pickups often when the driver loses momentum on a climb or drives on tyres that are too hard for the sand. Our car pullout service covers sand, desert and beach recovery. The tyres are let down, sand is cleared from the wheels, then a recovery strap or winch pulls the vehicle free, with boards under the wheels if needed. There are step-by-step pages on what to do when your car is stuck in sand and on a heavy 4x4 stuck in sand. Which desert areas do you recover from? Popular dune areas include Big Red (Al Badayer), Lahbab, Margham and Al Lisaili, along with the off-road tracks near them. If you don't know the name of the area, the location pin is more reliable than a name. Desert sites are further out than the city, so the dispatcher gives you an ETA as soon as they see your pin. What can I do while I wait? Stay with the vehicle, in shade if you can, with water within reach, and take your foot off the accelerator, because spinning wheels dig the car deeper. The stuck-in-sand page has the full steps, including how far to let the tyres down. Which pullouts do you not offer? We don't do basement or underground car-park pullouts, and we don't pull vehicles out of ditches, mud or building sites. Our pullout service is for sand, desert and beach recovery. If you are not sure whether your situation fits, ask first.How much does car recovery cost in Dubai? There is no fixed price list, because every job is different. The price depends on distance, vehicle type and how hard the recovery is. You get a quote on WhatsApp before the job starts, so you decide with the number in front of you. What affects the price of a tow or recovery? Distance is the biggest factor: a short hop across Dubai Marina takes less effort than a run from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. The vehicle matters too, because a flatbed for a low sports car or a winch pull for a heavy pickup uses more equipment than a standard tow. A tight pickup and waiting time at a workshop add effort. For a sand pullout, how deep the car sits and how far it is from a track matter most. How does the quote work? Send your location, the vehicle and the destination on WhatsApp. The dispatcher replies with the price and the method, flatbed or wheel-lift. You get the quote before the job starts, and the details stay in one thread, so you can scroll back to them later. Why ask for a quote first? You can compare, ask a question or send a photo before anything is booked, and you know what to expect on the day. That is why we don't publish a one-size price list: a number that fits a flat battery would be wrong for a heavy pickup in the dunes. Can I cancel if my situation changes? Yes. You can cancel free of charge before a truck is dispatched. After dispatch, fees may apply, and the full terms are on the cancellation policy page, so read them before you confirm. To cancel, send a WhatsApp message or call the same number.What happens after a crash or breakdown on Sheikh Zayed Road? First make sure everyone is safe, and call 999 (police) or 998 (ambulance) if anyone is hurt. Then get the police report number, because your insurer will ask for it, and send us your location and photos on WhatsApp. We recover the car to the workshop you choose. What should I do at the scene? If it is safe, take a few photos first. Then switch on your hazard lights, move to the hard shoulder if the car will still move, and get everyone out on the side away from traffic. Stand well back, behind the barrier if there is one, not beside the car. If you carry a warning triangle, place it behind the vehicle on the traffic side when it is safe to do so. On busy roads such as Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road, these small steps keep the scene calm while help is on the way. How is a damaged car recovered? A crash-damaged car goes on a flatbed, so a bent wheel or a leak doesn't stop the recovery. Tell us what is damaged, for example a bent wheel, a leak or a locked steering wheel, so the right equipment comes. The page on accident recovery walks through what to send and what happens next. What about the insurance side? We recover the car and your insurer handles the claim. What helps most is the police report number and clear photos of the car and the scene, so take those before the car is moved. Send the photos to us as well and keep the WhatsApp thread, which holds the time, place and destination. Where does the car go afterwards? To the workshop, dealership or home address you name, in Dubai or in another emirate. Give us the workshop's name and a Google Maps pin when you message, and the operator takes the car there.Can you fix my car on the spot instead of towing it? Often, yes. A flat battery, a flat tyre, an empty tank or keys locked inside can usually be solved where the car stands, with no tow. If the car still won't move after the quick fix, we can tow it. What problems can be fixed at the roadside? The common ones are a car that won't start because of a flat battery, which a battery jump-start fixes, a flat tyre, running out of fuel, and keys locked inside. For a car lockout the aim is to open the car without damage, so tell us the make and model and whether the car has an alarm. For fuel delivery, say whether your car takes petrol or diesel. Why do car batteries fail so often in summer? Heat speeds up the wear inside a car battery, and short trips don't give it time to recharge. A fairly new battery that went flat after a light was left on usually revives with a jump. An old battery, a swollen case, white or green crust on the terminals, or a battery that goes flat again within hours needs replacing. The car battery service page has simple rules of thumb, and the page on battery replacement says what to send us so the right battery is chosen. When is a tow the better choice? If the car won't start even after a jump, shows a warning you shouldn't drive with, or has crash damage, a tow protects it. The dispatcher will tell you which one fits, so you don't pay for the wrong service. Either way the first message is the same: your location, the make and model, and what happened.Which areas of Dubai and the UAE do you cover? We work across Dubai's communities, with pickups anywhere in Dubai. We tow from Dubai to the other emirates, but we don't collect vehicles that are already inside another emirate. Send your pin and the destination, and the dispatcher confirms. The service areas page lists the Dubai communities we serve. Which Dubai communities do you serve? Communities we serve include Dubai Marina and JBR, Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, Al Barsha and Deira. Whatever the neighbourhood, a live location pin tells the dispatcher exactly where to go, down to the car park level or the side of the road. That is also why we ask for a pin rather than a description. Can you tow my car from Dubai to Sharjah, Abu Dhabi or another emirate? Yes, from Dubai. We tow from a Dubai pickup to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Pickups are in Dubai only, so we can't collect a car that is already inside another emirate. Tell us the Dubai pickup and the drop-off, and the dispatcher confirms the route and quotes the distance. For long distances a flatbed is the safest choice, so the car rides on the deck the whole way. Can I get help in Arabic? Yes. Dispatch handles WhatsApp messages and calls in English and Arabic, around the clock. Can you help with my situation? Ask. A short message is enough, and if a job isn't one we do, we will say so rather than waste your time. For anything else, from a flat battery to a bus, send a WhatsApp message, visit our contact page or read about us.People also search fortow truck JVCcar recovery Dubai Southcar towing Al Quozcar recovery Jebel Aliflatbed towing Dubaiwheel lift tow truckroadside jump start Dubaicar recovery near mecar pullout service Dubaisand pullout Dubai4x4 stuck in sand Dubaidesert recovery DubaiFrequently asked questions about car recovery in DubaiHow do I get car recovery in Dubai right now?Send your live location pin on WhatsApp to +971 56 361 3657, or call the same number, 24 hours a day.

A pullout gets a stuck vehicle back onto firm ground, usually from sand. Many jobs are both, for example a pullout from the dunes followed by a tow to a workshop.Do you recover electric cars like a Tesla?Yes, on a flatbed. An electric vehicle should never be towed on its wheels, because turning wheels can damage the motor and regenerative braking. Tell the dispatcher it is an EV when you message, and give the make and model.How much does it cost to tow a car in Dubai?There is no fixed price list, because jobs differ.

Vehicle recovery means sending a truck and a crew to move a car that can't or shouldn't be driven, with extra care for crash-damaged, electric and luxury cars. Towing moves a car from one place to another. Recovery usually starts earlier, with getting the car out of the spot it is in. Why does the difference matter? A car that has hit a barrier on Sheikh Zayed Road, or stopped in a tight car park at Dubai Marina, needs more than a hook and a drive. The crew checks how the car sits, whether the wheels turn, and where it is safe to attach straps. For a plain move between two addresses, our towing service is the right page. This page is for cars that need careful handling. Who is this service for? Drivers after a crash, owners of electric cars, owners of luxury and sports cars, and anyone whose car is damaged, lowered or valuable enough that the loading method matters. The dispatcher asks a few questions up front, such as the make and model and what happened, and then chooses the truck. What is the outcome? The car reaches the workshop or your home in the condition it left the scene, and you have a clear record of the job in one WhatsApp thread. Everything else, from the quote to the destination, is agreed before the truck moves.What should I do straight after a crash in Dubai? Make sure everyone is safe and call 999 (police) or 998 (ambulance) if anyone is hurt. Get the police report number before the car is moved, because your insurer will ask for it, then send us your location and photos on WhatsApp. We recover the car to the workshop you choose. What should I do at the scene itself? If it is safe, take a few photos first. Then switch on the hazard lights, move to the hard shoulder if the car will still move, and get everyone out on the side away from traffic. Stand well back, behind the barrier if there is one. If you carry a warning triangle, place it behind the car on the traffic side when it is safe. On busy roads like Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road, these steps keep the scene calm while help arrives. Which photos help the most? Photos of all four sides of the car, of any damage, of the road and of the other vehicle's plate if there is one. Take them before the car is moved. Send them to us as well as to your insurer, so the thread holds the time, the place and the condition of the car at pickup. How is a crash-damaged car recovered? On a flatbed, so a bent wheel, a leak or a locked steering wheel doesn't stop the job. Tell us what is damaged when you message, and the right equipment is sent. When is the right moment to call us? As soon as the scene is safe. You don't need to wait for the insurer or the workshop, and you can send your pin while you take photos and wait for the police report number. Calling early means a truck can already be on its way by the time the paperwork is done, which saves a long wait at the roadside. If you are unsure about anything, say so in your first message and the dispatcher will talk it through. Where does the car go afterwards? To the workshop, dealership or home address you name, in Dubai or in another emirate. Send the workshop's name and a Google Maps pin, and the operator takes the car there.How is an electric vehicle recovered safely? An electric vehicle goes on a flatbed, never on its wheels. Many owner's manuals for electric cars say not to tow them with the wheels turning, because the turning wheels can damage the motor and the regenerative braking system. Tell the dispatcher it is an EV when you message. Why does an EV need a flatbed? In a petrol car, the wheels can often turn without driving the engine. In an electric car, the motor is connected to the wheels, so turning them can drive the motor and strain the system. A flatbed lifts the whole car off the road, so none of that happens. It works the same for a Tesla, a BYD, a Polestar or any other electric model. What should I tell you about my EV? The make, model and year, whether it will unlock, and whether it will shift out of park. Some models have a transport or tow mode, and the owner's manual explains how to use it, so check it if you can. If a battery or thermal warning shows on the screen, or you smell burning, move well away from the car and call 999. What about the small 12V battery? Electric cars also have a small 12V battery that runs the locks and the screens, and it can go flat on its own. If that is your problem, a visit from car battery service may solve it without a tow. Send the model and the symptoms and the dispatcher will say which it is.How do you recover a luxury or low sports car without marking it? Low and high-value cars go on a flatbed with a gentle loading angle and soft straps, planned from the make, model and ride height. If your car is lowered, say so when you message. The aim is simple: handle the car with care. What can go wrong with a low car? The two usual problems are a front bumper or splitter scraping on a steep ramp, and straps marking paint or trim. Both are avoided by choosing the right truck and loading angle in advance. That is why the first questions are the make, the model, whether it is lowered, and whether it has any bodykit. What should I send for a luxury or supercar recovery? The make, model and year, a photo of the car from the front and side, and whether it is lowered or modified. Add where it is, for example a hotel valet in Downtown Dubai or a private garage in the Palm, and where it needs to go. The dispatcher uses all of this to plan the load. Is a luxury car recovered differently from a normal one? The principle is the same, a flatbed and careful loading, but the details are more exact. A heavier saloon, a low coupe and a car with a long overhang each need slightly different handling. Should I mention modifications and bodykits? Yes. A wide body kit, a front splitter, lowered suspension or aftermarket wheels all change how a car sits on the ramp. A short list in your first message, with one photo of the front and one of the side, is all it takes. It also helps to say if the car has adjustable air suspension, so the crew knows what the car can do before the truck arrives. Can you collect a car from a hotel or private address? Send the hotel name or the address and any access details, such as a valet ticket or a gate code, and the dispatcher confirms how the pickup can be done. Having those details ready is the fastest way to get the car moving.Which method will be used for my car, flatbed or wheel-lift? For the cars on this page, almost always a flatbed. A flatbed carries the whole car on its deck, so it suits electric cars, all-wheel-drive cars, crash-damaged cars, low sports cars and long distances. A wheel-lift is for short city moves with an ordinary car. What is the difference in simple terms? A flatbed puts the car on the truck. A wheel-lift lifts two wheels and the car rolls on the other two. Both are safe when matched to the car, and the dispatcher makes the match from your message. When is a wheel-lift fine? For an ordinary front- or rear-wheel-drive car on a short move, for example to a nearby workshop. It is quick to set up and handles tight streets well. It is not used for electric cars, all-wheel-drive cars or low sports cars. What if I disagree with the choice? Ask. The dispatcher will explain why the method fits your car, and if there is more than one safe option, you can say which you prefer. You are part of the decision.How do the police report, my insurer and the workshop fit together? You deal with the police and your insurer, and we move the car. The police report number is the key document, so get it before the car is moved. Your insurer will say which workshop to use, and you tell us where to take the car. What is the best order of steps? First, safety, and 999 or 998 if anyone is hurt. Second, the police report and its number. Third, photos of the car and the scene. Fourth, a message to us with your location, the vehicle and the destination workshop. That order keeps the paperwork clean and the car safe. Do I need to know the workshop before I call? No. If you don't know yet, tell the dispatcher and ask the insurer or the dealership. Ask the insurer or the dealership, and the dispatcher will talk through the options with you. What records will I have afterwards? The WhatsApp thread holds the pickup pin, the time, the quote you agreed, the destination and the photos you sent. Keep it with your insurance papers. It is a simple record that answers most of the questions an insurer or a workshop asks later.Can I get vehicle recovery at night, on a weekend or on a public holiday? Yes. Dispatch answers WhatsApp messages and calls around the clock, every day of the year, in English and in Arabic. Send your live location pin and the dispatcher sends a truck to your pin. Is the service different at night? The process is identical: pin, vehicle, quote, confirm. The quote covers the whole job, and you see it before the truck moves. What about Eid and other busy days? Busy days mean more calls, so send your pin early and keep your phone nearby. The dispatcher gives you an ETA on WhatsApp, and you can ask for an update at any time. How do I get the closest truck? Share a live location pin rather than typing an address. The page on car recovery near me shows how to share your exact spot from WhatsApp. Average arrival across Dubai is about 30 minutes, and outer areas take longer.How much does vehicle recovery cost and how do I get a quote? There is no fixed price list, because jobs differ. Distance, vehicle type and how hard the recovery is all change the price. You get a quote on WhatsApp before the job starts, so you know the number before the truck moves. What affects the price of a recovery? Distance is the biggest factor. After that, the vehicle: a heavy SUV, a low sports car and a damaged car each need different equipment. A tight pickup, such as a narrow lane or a crowded car park, or a long wait at a workshop, adds effort too. How do I get a quote? Send your location pin, the make and model, what happened and where the car needs to go. The dispatcher replies with the price and the method. You get the quote before the job starts. What if I need to cancel? You can cancel free of charge before a truck is dispatched. After dispatch, fees may apply, and the full terms are on the cancellation policy page. Cancelling is a short WhatsApp message. Which other services might I need? A car that only needs a jump or a tyre may not need a truck at all: see roadside assistance. A car stuck in sand needs our sand and desert pullout team. For a plain move between two addresses, our towing service is the right page.People also search foraccident car recovery DubaiEV recovery Dubailuxury car recovery DubaiTesla tow Dubaicar recovery Dubai Marinacar recovery Downtown Dubaicar recovery Business Baycar recovery JVCcar recovery Deiramotorcycle recovery Dubaiflatbed towing DubaiDubai to Abu Dhabi towingFrequently asked questions about vehicle recovery in DubaiWhat should I do after a car accident in Dubai?Make sure everyone is safe and call 999 (police) or 998 (ambulance) if anyone is hurt. Get the police report number, because your insurer will ask for it, then take photos. Send your location and photos on WhatsApp to +971 56 361 3657 and we recover the car.Can you recover a badly damaged car?Usually yes, on a flatbed. Tell the dispatcher what is damaged, such as bent wheels, leaks or a locked steering wheel, so the right equipment is sent. If anyone is hurt, call 999 (police) or 998 (ambulance) first.Do you recover electric vehicles like a Tesla?Yes, on a flatbed only. Towing an electric car on its wheels can damage the motor and the regenerative braking. Tell the dispatcher it is an EV when you message, and give the make and model.Why can't an electric car be towed on its wheels?Because the wheels are connected to the electric motor. Turning wheels can drive the motor and damage it. A flatbed lifts the whole car off the road, so that never happens.Can you recover a luxury or sports car without scratching it?The aim is to handle it with care. Luxury and sports cars go on a flatbed with a gentle loading angle and soft straps. Tell the dispatcher the make, model and whether the car is lowered.What is the difference between recovery and towing?Towing moves a car from one place to another. Recovery covers getting a vehicle out of a difficult spot first, for example after a crash. Many jobs are both, and one dispatcher handles it.How fast can a recovery truck reach me in Dubai?Average arrival across Dubai is about 30 minutes, depending on traffic and where you are. Outer areas take longer. Once a truck is dispatched, you get an ETA on WhatsApp.Do you work at night and on public holidays?Yes.

Send the make and model, what happened, and whether the wheels turn and the brakes are free.Why do bikes need different handling than cars?A car has recovery points built for towing. A motorcycle has none, so the crew holds it upright and secures it at points that can take the load, such as the fork tubes and the sub-frame, never the handlebars. The wrong method scratches paint, bends fairings or drops the bike.Sport bikes, cruisers and scootersA low sport bike needs a gentle ramp angle so the fairing doesn't scrape. A heavy cruiser or touring bike needs more care and more hands because of its weight. A scooter is light but still needs strapping. Electric scooters and e-bikes are recovered the same way; tell us the make and model.Not sure whether you can ride it?If the bike has crash damage, a leak, a flat tyre or a fault you can't explain, don't ride it. If it is only a flat battery, a jump-start may be enough: see roadside assistance.What should I do while I wait?Switch off the engine, put the bike on firm ground on its side stand if that is safe, and turn on the hazard lights if it has them. Stand well away from traffic, behind a barrier if there is one. After a crash, call 999 if anyone is hurt and get the police report number before the bike is moved.What to send for a bike recovery1Your live location pin2Make, model and year of the bike3What went wrong, and whether the wheels turn and the brakes are free4Whether it is lowered or has race fairings5A photo of the bike, and where it needs to go Open WhatsApp Or call +971 56 361 3657Related helpTowing serviceFlatbed or wheel-lift towing to a workshop, your home or another emirate.Open Roadside assistanceJump-starts, tyres, lockouts and fuel, fixed where the car stands.Open Recovery near meHow to share your live location so a truck can be sent to your pin.Open Quote before we startNeed a vehicle recovered?The fastest way is WhatsApp: share your location pin, the vehicle and what happened.

A towing service sends a truck to carry or pull a car that can't be driven, or shouldn't be, to a workshop, a dealership, your home or another emirate. You call when the car won't start after a jump, has crash damage, or shows a warning that says stop. One message to the dispatcher is enough to start. Why do people in Dubai call for a tow? Most calls start with an ordinary problem: an engine that overheats in summer traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road, a gearbox that slips on the way home from Business Bay, a car that was fine yesterday and won't turn over today. A tow turns that moment into a short wait and a clear next step, because the car goes where a mechanic can look at it. If you are not sure whether the car is safe to drive, the question to ask is simple: would I be comfortable driving it to the workshop myself? How is towing different from recovery? Towing moves a working-order car from one place to another. Recovery, which you can read about under accident, EV and luxury car recovery, covers getting a vehicle out of a difficult spot first, for example after a crash. Many jobs are both, and the same dispatcher handles them. A car buried in sand is a different case again, and our sand and desert pullout team deals with that before any tow. What does a good tow look like? You send a message, you receive a quote and a truck type, you confirm, and the car arrives at the workshop in the condition it left. The details sit in one WhatsApp thread, so the pickup time, the destination and the price are easy to find later. That is the outcome we work towards on every call.Flatbed or wheel-lift: which tow truck should move my car? Use a flatbed for electric vehicles, all-wheel-drive and 4x4 cars, low sports cars, cars that won't roll, and long distances. Use a wheel-lift for short city moves with an ordinary front- or rear-wheel-drive car. Tell the dispatcher the make and model and they pick the method. How does a flatbed tow work? The deck tilts down to the road, a winch draws the car up, and the whole car rides on the deck with all four wheels off the ground. Nothing in the drivetrain turns during the journey, which is why flatbed towing is the safe choice for almost any car. It suits a Land Cruiser, a Patrol, a Tesla, a lowered hatchback and a family sedan alike. How does a wheel-lift tow work? A wheel-lift raises two wheels on a hydraulic cradle, and the car rolls on the other two. It is quick to set up and handles tight streets and car parks well. Wheel-lift towing fits short moves with an ordinary car, such as from a Deira side street to a nearby workshop. Why do some cars need a flatbed? Many owner's manuals for electric and all-wheel-drive cars say not to tow them with wheels turning. Turning wheels spin the motor or the drivetrain, which can damage them. Low sports cars can scrape on a steep cradle approach, and a car that won't roll can't be pulled on two wheels at all. In each case the flatbed avoids the problem and the car is handled with care. What if I'm not sure which one I need? You don't have to decide. Send the make, model and a line about what is wrong, and the dispatcher chooses. If both would work, you can ask which is quicker or which is gentler on the car, and you will get a straight answer.Can you tow a car that won't start, won't roll or has no keys? Yes. A winch on the flatbed pulls a non-running car up onto the deck, and the wheels don't need to turn or steer. Tell the dispatcher if the car is locked in gear, has a seized wheel or has lost its keys, so the right equipment arrives the first time. What happens with a car that is stuck in park or in gear? The car is loaded without needing to roll. The winch and the deck do the work, and the operator secures the car with straps once it is on board. Mention the problem when you message, because it changes the plan from the start and saves time at the roadside. What if the keys are lost or locked inside? A car with no keys can still be loaded onto a flatbed in many cases. If the keys are locked inside the car and the car is otherwise fine, a lockout fix at the roadside may solve the problem with no tow at all. Tell us which situation you are in and we will say which route is quicker. What about a car with a flat tyre or a damaged wheel? A flat tyre usually means a tyre change or a flatbed, depending on whether you have a good spare. A bent or damaged wheel goes on a flatbed. Either way, a photo of the wheel helps the dispatcher decide before the truck leaves. Can the car go straight to a workshop? Yes. Send the workshop's name and a Google Maps pin, and the truck takes the car there. If the workshop is closed, tell the dispatcher and they will talk through the options with you.Is it safe to drive my car to the workshop, or should I tow it? If the temperature gauge has climbed into the red, the gearbox is slipping, the brakes feel wrong, or the car has crash damage, tow it. If a warning light is on but the engine runs cool and the car drives normally, a short, careful drive to a nearby workshop is sometimes fine. When in doubt, send a short video of the dashboard and the symptom on WhatsApp. Which signs mean I should tow? An overheating engine can seize if you keep driving. A slipping gearbox can turn a small repair into a large one within a few kilometres. Smoke, a burning smell, a spongy brake pedal or a steering wheel that pulls hard are all reasons to stop and call. Switching off, pulling over safely and sending one message costs far less than another few kilometres on the road. Which signs are usually fine to drive on? A fault light with a cool engine and normal driving can often wait for a short trip to a workshop. A flat battery that was revived by a jump is another case: keep the engine running and head straight to a battery check. The dispatcher will tell you which side of the line your car is on, so you do not pay for a tow you don't need. How do I describe the problem so the answer is quick? Use plain words and a photo. "It overheated on the Al Khail Road exit and the gauge is red" is perfect. A video of the dashboard with the engine running helps even more. The more specific the message, the faster the answer. What if it is only a flat battery? Then you may not need a tow at all. A jump-start at your location often gets the car going, and the technician can tell you whether the battery should be replaced. See the page on roadside assistance for quick fixes that avoid a tow.Can I tow my car from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or another emirate? Yes, from Dubai. We tow from a Dubai pickup to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Pickups are in Dubai only, so we can't collect a car that is already inside another emirate. Give the dispatcher the pickup and the drop-off and they quote the distance. Long distances go on a flatbed, so the car rides on the deck the whole way. Why use a flatbed for a long tow? Over a long highway run, a car carried on its own wheels keeps its tyres and drivetrain working all the way. On a flatbed the wheels stay still, so the car arrives in the same state it left. That is why long tows, and inter-emirate tows in particular, are a flatbed job. Which routes do people book most? Common routes run from Dubai to Abu Dhabi for a dealership or workshop, and from Dubai to Sharjah or Ajman for a family move. Whatever the route, the process is the same: pin, destination, quote, confirm. What do I need to tell you for a tow between emirates? The pickup pin, the drop-off address or a Google Maps pin, the make and model, and whether the car runs. If you are dropping at a workshop, send its name and opening hours, so the car arrives when someone is there to receive it. Can the same truck bring me home too? Ask when you message. Whether a passenger can ride along depends on the vehicle and the route, so the dispatcher confirms it for your job.How much does a tow truck cost in Dubai? There is no fixed price list, because every job is different. The price depends on distance, vehicle type and how hard the pickup is. You get a quote on WhatsApp before the job starts, so you decide with the number in front of you. What changes the price of a tow? Distance comes first: a short move across Dubai Marina takes less effort than a run to Abu Dhabi. The vehicle matters because a low sports car or a heavy pickup needs more careful equipment than a standard sedan. A tight pickup, and long waiting time at a workshop add effort too. How does the quote work? You send the pin, the vehicle and the destination. The dispatcher replies with the price and the method, flatbed or wheel-lift. You get the quote before the job starts, and the whole exchange stays in one thread that you can read back later. Why is there no single price list? A number that suits a short city tow would be wrong for a long flatbed run, and the reverse. Quoting each job keeps the price fair for the work involved, and it lets you compare before you commit. What if I change my mind? You can cancel free of charge before a truck is dispatched. After dispatch, fees may apply, and the full terms are on the cancellation policy page. To cancel, send a WhatsApp message or call the same number.What do I need to tell the dispatcher when I book a tow? Send your live location pin, the make and model, what is wrong, and where the car needs to go. A photo of the car or the dashboard speeds things up. With those four details the dispatcher can quote and choose the truck in one reply. Why a live pin and not just an address? A pin shows the exact spot, down to the car park level or the side of the road, and it updates if you move. It removes any doubt about which entrance of a mall or which exit you are near. If you have no signal for a pin, a Google Maps link or the nearest landmark works too. What should I say about the car? Say the make, model and year, whether it is electric or all-wheel-drive, and whether it starts, rolls and steers. Mention if it is lowered or modified, and if the keys are with you. Short, plain sentences are best. How will I follow the job? Everything happens on the same WhatsApp thread. You get the quote there, you confirm there, and you hear from us there if anything changes. Average arrival across Dubai is about 30 minutes, longer for outer areas, and the dispatcher gives you an ETA once they have your pin. Can I book for later, not just right now? Yes. If you need a tow at a set time, for example to a workshop appointment, say so in your first message and the dispatcher will tell you whether it can be arranged. Dispatch answers in English and Arabic, around the clock, every day.What about electric cars, luxury cars, motorcycles and heavy vehicles? Each of them can be towed, with the right method for the vehicle. Electric and luxury cars go on a flatbed. Motorcycles are loaded upright and strapped down, and trucks and buses are handled as heavy recovery. Tell the dispatcher what you drive and they plan around it. How is an electric car towed? On a flatbed, never on its wheels. The page on EV recovery explains why and what to tell us. A Tesla, a BYD or any other electric car follows the same rule, and it is worth saying "it is electric" in your first message. How are luxury and sports cars towed? On a flatbed, with a gentle loading angle and soft straps, planned from the make, model and ride height. If your car is lowered, say so. You can read more about luxury and sports car recovery before you call. Can you tow a motorcycle, a truck or a bus? Yes, with different equipment. Bike recovery loads the bike upright and straps it down with care, and heavy vehicle recovery covers trucks, buses and trailers. Send the vehicle type and, for larger vehicles, the weight and load. What if my car is stuck in sand rather than broken down? Then it needs a pullout first. Read the guide on what to do when a 4x4 is stuck in sand, send your pin and a photo, and the 4x4 team takes it from there. If the car can't drive away afterwards, we tow it from the dunes to a workshop.People also search forflatbed towing near metow truck JVCcar towing Al Quoztow truck Dubai Marinatow truck Business Baycar towing Al Barshatow truck Deiratow truck Dubai Southtow truck Jebel Alitow truck near mecar towing Dubai to Abu Dhabicar towing Dubai to SharjahFrequently asked questions about towing in DubaiHow do I get a tow truck in Dubai right now?Send your live location pin on WhatsApp to +971 56 361 3657, or call the same number, 24 hours a day.

Outer areas and desert sites take longer. Once a truck is dispatched, you get an ETA on WhatsApp.Is a flatbed or a wheel-lift better for my car?A flatbed carries the whole car and suits any vehicle, especially electric, all-wheel-drive and low cars and long distances. A wheel-lift lifts two wheels and suits short city moves with an ordinary car. The dispatcher chooses once they know the make and model.Can you tow an electric car like a Tesla?Yes, on a flatbed only. Towing an electric car on its wheels can damage the motor and regenerative braking. Tell the dispatcher it is an EV when you message and give the make and model.Can you tow a car that won't start or roll?Yes. A winch on the flatbed pulls a non-running car onto the deck, and the wheels don't need to turn. Tell us if it is stuck in gear, has a seized wheel or has no keys so the right equipment arrives.How much does it cost to tow a car in Dubai?There is no fixed price list, because jobs differ. Distance, vehicle type and the difficulty of the pickup all change the price. Send your details on WhatsApp and you get a quote before anything starts.Can you tow my car to Abu Dhabi or Sharjah?Yes, from a Dubai pickup. We tow to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. We don't collect cars that are already inside another emirate. Give the pickup and drop-off and we quote the distance. Long tows go on a flatbed.My car overheated. Should I drive it or tow it?Switch off, let it cool, and don't keep driving: an overheating engine can seize. Tow it, and ask the mechanic to look at it. If you are unsure, send a video of the dashboard on WhatsApp and the dispatcher will advise.Which tows do you not offer?We don't do basement or underground car-park extractions, and we don't collect cars from inside other emirates. If the car is at street level or in an open car park in Dubai, we can tow it.Can I cancel a tow after booking?You can cancel free of charge before a truck is dispatched.

A sand pullout gets a vehicle out of soft sand or off a dune slope and back onto firm ground, using a 4x4 recovery vehicle with a strap or a winch. A tow moves a car that can't be driven from one place to another. Many desert calls need the pullout first and a tow afterwards. Why does a stuck vehicle need a specialist? Sand behaves differently from tarmac. A vehicle that sinks to its axles can't be pulled out by a normal tow truck, and the wrong pull can damage the recovery points or the transmission. Our car pullout service uses a 4x4 recovery team that works on sand, with the right straps, a winch and recovery boards, so the vehicle comes out cleanly and drives away. What does a good pullout feel like from your side? You send a pin and a photo, you receive a quote and an ETA, and the team arrives, lets the tyres down, clears the sand and pulls. The vehicle is back on firm ground, you pump the tyres up, and you carry on with your day. If the car can't drive away, the same team can arrange a tow to a workshop, and our towing service page explains how that works. Who calls for a pullout? Weekend drivers on dune trips, families on a desert picnic, visitors in a rental SUV that was never meant for sand, and experienced off-roaders who simply misjudged a climb. Everyone gets the same calm process, and nobody needs to feel embarrassed about asking.How does a 4x4 recovery team get a vehicle out of sand? The usual order is: let the tyres down, clear sand from around the wheels, then pull with a recovery strap from the vehicle's rated recovery point. If the vehicle is deep or on a slope, a winch with a snatch block pulls harder, and recovery boards under the driven wheels finish the job. The tyres go back up before you drive on tarmac. Why do the tyres get let down first? Lower pressure widens the tyre's footprint, so it floats on the sand instead of digging in. Dropping to around 15 PSI is common for soft sand. It often frees a car on level ground without any pull at all, and it makes every later step easier. What do straps, winches and boards each do? A kinetic recovery strap stretches and rebounds, which pulls a stuck car loose more gently than a static strap, so it is easier on both vehicles. A winch is for deep burial or slopes where the recovery vehicle can't get above the stuck car. Recovery boards give the wheels grip to drive out onto firm sand. The team chooses based on how the vehicle sits. Why is the recovery point so important? The strap must attach to a point built to take the load. A tow ball or a plastic bumper isn't one, and pulling from them can tear them off. Your owner's manual shows the rated recovery points, and the team checks them before pulling. If yours are bent or missing, tell us when you message. What happens after the vehicle is out? The tyres are pumped back to road pressure, you check the vehicle over with the operator, and you decide whether to drive on or tow. If the car overheated or dragged its underside, a check at a workshop is a good idea before a long drive.Which vehicles get stuck, and can you recover them all? Cars, SUVs and pickups of all sizes get stuck in sand, from a rental crossover to a Land Cruiser. Our own 4x4 team recovers cars, SUVs and pickups. Send the make, model and whether it is two- or four-wheel drive, and the dispatcher confirms the plan. Why do heavy 4x4s get stuck as much as small cars? Weight sinks a vehicle faster in soft sand, and a confident driver goes further into the dunes. Land Cruisers, Patrols and big pickups are stuck as often as small SUVs, usually after a lost climb or tyres that were too hard for the sand. A pullout works the same way for all of them, with more pull for heavier vehicles. What about a two-wheel-drive car or a rental SUV? Those get stuck on sandy tracks and car parks at the edge of the desert, often in a few seconds. They are usually easier to recover because they haven't gone deep, so a fast message helps. If a rental car is involved, mention it, because the rental company may need to be told. Is there anything you can't recover? Some situations are not a standard pullout. A rolled vehicle needs a different plan, so call us first and describe it. Vehicles in deep water, or on ground that may give way, are not safe to attempt, and we will tell you so. We also don't do basement or underground car-park pullouts, or pullouts from ditches, mud or building sites. Should I call before or after trying myself? Call as soon as you are stuck. Every extra minute of spinning wheels digs the vehicle in, and a short message costs nothing. You can still try the steps on the car stuck in sand page while you wait, and heavy SUVs and pickups have their own page on 4x4 stuck in sand.Where in the desert do you recover vehicles? Popular dune areas include Big Red (Al Badayer), Lahbab, Margham and Al Lisaili, along with the off-road tracks near them. If you don't know the area's name, a live location pin is more reliable than a name. Desert sites are further out than the city, so the dispatcher gives you an ETA once they see your pin. Why does the pin matter so much in the dunes? Dunes look alike, tracks branch, and landmarks disappear in a few hours as the sand shifts. A WhatsApp live pin tells the dispatcher exactly where the vehicle is, and updates as you move. A what3words address or GPS coordinates work as well. How long does it take to reach a desert site? Longer than a city call. Average arrival across Dubai is about 30 minutes, and the desert is further out than the city, so the ETA depends on where you are and the traffic on the way. The dispatcher tells you once they have your pin, and you can ask for an update at any time. What if I have no signal? Send the message as soon as you get a bar of signal, even if it is just the pin. Tell someone in your group where you are, and stay with the vehicle. What about the rest of the UAE? Our desert recovery covers the desert areas in Dubai. We don't recover vehicles from deserts in other emirates. If you are not sure which emirate you are in, send your pin and the dispatcher will tell you.What should I send when I call for a pullout? Send your live location pin and a photo that shows how deep the wheels sit. Add the make and model, whether it is two- or four-wheel drive, whether the vehicle is level or on a slope, and how many people are with you. That is enough for a quote and the right plan. Why does the photo matter? A photo shows how deep the vehicle sits, whether it is on a slope, and what the ground looks like, which decides between a strap pull and a winch. A second photo of the front wheels and one of the rear are even better. What else helps the dispatcher? Tell us if the tyres are already let down, whether you have recovery boards or a shovel, and whether anyone is hurt. If someone is unwell, call 999 or 998 first. Mention any damage to the recovery points, and any other vehicles nearby. What if I am in a group? Say so. A group in two or three vehicles can sometimes help, for example by keeping other vehicles out of the way. Please don't try a heavy pull with another car's rope unless it is a proper kinetic recovery strap, because the wrong strap can cause damage. Does the quote come before the pullout? Yes. The dispatcher replies on WhatsApp with the price and an ETA, and nothing starts until you agree.How much does a sand pullout cost? There is no fixed price, because pullouts differ. The price depends on how deep the vehicle sits, how far it is from firm ground or a track, how far the team has to travel and the vehicle's weight. You get a quote on WhatsApp before we start. What makes a pullout easy or more involved? A shallow bog on level sand is simple. A heavy pickup buried to the axles on a dune face takes more equipment and time, and the price reflects that. Vehicles that are already near a track are easier to reach, and vehicles far in are harder. Why no standard price? One number would be too high for a shallow stuck car and too low for a deep one. Quoting each job keeps it fair and lets you compare before you commit. What if my situation changes before the team arrives? If you free the vehicle yourself, tell the dispatcher straight away. You can cancel free of charge before a truck is dispatched. After dispatch, fees may apply, and the full terms are on the cancellation policy page. Is a tow after the pullout extra? It is a separate step with its own quote, and only if the car can't drive away. The dispatcher quotes it when you decide.How do I stay safe and comfortable while I wait in the desert? Stay with the vehicle, in shade if you can, with water within reach. Stop spinning the wheels, and keep everyone together. If anyone feels dizzy, sick or confused, call 999 or 998 right away. How do I handle the heat? From late May to September, desert heat is strong. Sit in the shade of the vehicle or an open door, drink small amounts often, and avoid walking off to look for signal. The vehicle is easier to find than a person on foot, and the dispatcher knows exactly where you are from your pin. What about night and cold? Desert nights can be cool in winter. Keep a jacket or blanket in the car, keep the doors closed, and keep your phone charged. Hazard lights help the team spot you after dark. What if someone in the group needs help? Call 999 first, then send your pin to us. Emergency services take priority over a recovery, and we can start moving as soon as you message. What small things make the wait easier? A charged power bank, a shovel to clear sand from the wheels, and a clear view of your phone. Nothing here is complicated, and a calm group makes the recovery smoother.How can I prepare for a desert trip so a pullout is rarely needed? Let the tyres down before you leave the tarmac, keep your momentum on climbs, carry water, a shovel, recovery boards and a compressor, and tell someone your route. If you do get stuck, save +971 56 361 3657 first so a pullout starts with one WhatsApp message. Which kit is worth carrying? Water for everyone, a folding shovel, a pair of recovery boards, tyre deflators and a 12V compressor, and a kinetic recovery strap rated for your vehicle's weight. A power bank keeps your phone ready, and an offline map helps in areas with weak signal. What habits help the most? Drop the tyre pressure before you reach soft sand, keep steady momentum on climbs, and follow a lead driver only onto ground you can see. Don't go alone, and travel in a small convoy where possible, so a stuck vehicle has help within reach. What should I do if I get stuck anyway? Stop, share your pin, and read what to do when your car is stuck in sand while you wait. Getting stuck is part of desert driving, and a quick message turns it into a short pause in your day. Where can I find more help? Our main page lists every service, from roadside assistance for a flat battery on the way to the desert, to vehicle recovery for crashes.

Take your foot off the accelerator, check that everyone is fine, and send your live location pin to +971 56 361 3657 on WhatsApp with a photo of how deep the wheels sit. Then stay with the vehicle, in the shade if you can, with water within reach. Those five minutes of calm do most of the work. Why stop spinning the wheels straight away? Spinning wheels dig the vehicle deeper, and in dry sand they can bury it to the axles within seconds. They also heat the tyres and the transmission. The moment you feel the car lose momentum, ease off. A vehicle that has sunk a little is far easier to recover than one that has been dug in. What is the best order of steps? Ease off the accelerator and let the car settle. Check everyone is fine. If the car is tilted or on a slope, get out and stay clear of its path. Switch on the hazard lights and move to the shade of the vehicle. Send your pin and a photo on WhatsApp. If the car is stable, clear sand from in front of and behind each tyre with a shovel or your hands. What happens once I have sent my pin? The dispatcher replies on the same thread with a quote and an ETA. Desert sites are further out than the city, so the ETA depends on where you are. You can use the waiting time for the steps below, and the sand and desert pullout page explains how the team will recover you. How should I feel about this? Calm. Getting stuck is common in the dunes, and it is a solved problem when you ask early. You have done the most useful thing already by stopping and asking.Should I let the tyres down, and how far? Letting the tyres down to about 15 PSI widens their footprint and often frees a car on level sand. Only do it if the car is stable and not on a slope. Pump the tyres back up before you drive on tarmac, because low pressure is not safe on the road. Why does lower pressure help? A softer tyre spreads the car's weight over a bigger patch of sand, so it floats instead of digging in. That is why experienced desert drivers let their tyres down before they leave the tarmac. For a stuck car, it is the single most useful step you can take yourself. How do I do it safely? Stop on the most level ground you have. Use a tyre deflator if you carry one, or press the valve pin carefully, and let all four tyres down evenly. Check the pressure with a gauge as you go. Don't go below what your tyre and rim can safely take, and don't do it if the car is tilting. What if I don't have a compressor? Tell the dispatcher when you message. The recovery team can talk you through it, and you can decide together whether to let the tyres down at all, or to wait for the team. You should not drive far on low tyres, so the plan for pumping them up is worth settling early. What about after the pullout? Pump the tyres back to road pressure before you drive on tarmac. Low-pressure tyres overheat on the road and can come off the rim in a corner. A portable 12V compressor in the boot makes this a ten-minute job.What should I skip doing while I wait for help? Skip revving the engine, pulling from the tow ball or a plastic bumper, and using a rope that isn't made for recovery. Also skip walking off to look for signal in the heat. A few simple choices keep the vehicle, and you, in better shape for the recovery. Why does revving make it worse? It digs the wheels in, heats the transmission and can strain the differential. A quiet car that has stopped sinking is the easiest kind to recover, and every minute you leave it alone helps. Why avoid the tow ball and the bumper? They are not built to take a recovery load. A pull on a tow ball can bend it, and a pull on a plastic bumper can tear it off. Rated recovery points are the right anchor, and your owner's manual shows where they are. If yours are bent or missing, tell the dispatcher. What about a friend's car and a rope? A ropes-and-jerk pull with an ordinary rope puts a violent shock through both vehicles. A proper kinetic recovery strap stretches and rebounds, which is gentler and safer. If you do not have one, wait for the team: that is exactly what the pullout service is for. What about getting out to push? Pushing a heavy car in soft sand rarely works and can put people close to spinning wheels. Stay clear and stay together. If you do want to help, clearing sand from the wheels with a shovel is the useful job.What should I send when I ask for help? Send your live location pin and a photo that shows how deep the wheels sit. Add the make and model, whether it is two- or four-wheel drive, whether it is level or on a slope, and how many people are with you. That is everything the dispatcher needs to quote. Which photo is the most useful? One that shows the wheel and the sand around it, so the depth is clear. A second photo of the whole car on the slope, if there is one, shows the angle. Two photos tell the team more than a paragraph of description. What details help beyond the photo? Whether the tyres are already let down, whether you have boards or a shovel, whether the recovery points are in good order, and whether anyone feels unwell. If someone is unwell, call 999 or 998 first. You can add everything else in a second message. What if I only know the area's name? Send the name, such as Big Red, Lahbab, Margham or Al Lisaili, and the nearest track or landmark, but add the pin as soon as you can. The pin is the reliable part. If you have no signal, send the message when you do, and tell someone in your group where you are. Where can I read what the team does? The page on the sand and desert pullout service covers the process from tyres to strap to winch, in more detail than this guide.Where can a recovery strap be attached safely? Only to a rated recovery point, which is a solid metal loop or hook bolted to the chassis. Your owner's manual shows where yours are. Never attach a strap to a tow ball, a plastic bumper or a bent tow eye. How do I find the recovery points? Look under the front and rear of the car for strong metal loops or hooks fixed to the chassis, often painted or marked. Some cars have a cover on the bumper that hides a screw-in eye. The manual has a diagram. If you cannot find them, tell the dispatcher the make and model and they will say what to look for. Why does the anchor point matter so much? A strap under tension stores a lot of energy. If it is attached to the wrong part, something can tear off and fly. A rated point is built for exactly this load and is the safe place to pull from. What about the strap and the shackle? A kinetic strap suits sand recovery, and a soft shackle is safer than a steel one if something breaks. Both should be rated for your vehicle's weight, and the team brings what the job needs. What should I tell you if mine are damaged? Say so in your first message. A bent or missing recovery point changes the plan, and it is much better to know before the team arrives than after. What about heavier SUVs and pickups? They need extra care with recovery points and winch pulls. The page on 4x4 stuck in sand covers them. If you want to know how a pullout works in general, the car pullout service page explains it.How do I stay comfortable and safe in the heat while I wait? Stay with the vehicle, in shade, with water within reach, and keep the group together. If anyone feels dizzy, sick or confused, call 999 or 998 right away. Small habits make a wait in the desert far more comfortable. How do I handle summer temperatures? From late May to September, desert heat is strong. Sit in the shade of the car or an open door, drink small amounts regularly, and avoid exertion. Wear a hat if you have one, and keep children and pets in shade. What is the best use of the waiting time? Clear sand from the wheels with a shovel in the cooler shade, check your tyre-pressure plan, and keep your phone charged. Message the dispatcher if anything changes, such as a car sinking further or someone feeling unwell. What about after dark? Keep hazard lights on so the team can spot you, and keep warm in winter, when desert nights are cool. Don't wander away from the vehicle. Is it all right to run the engine for air conditioning? If the vehicle is stable and not sinking, a short spell of air conditioning can help. Do not rev the engine, and switch off if the car starts to settle. When in doubt, ask the dispatcher.What should I check after my car is out of the sand? Pump the tyres back to road pressure, check the engine temperature, and look under the car for anything dragging or leaking. If the car drives normally, you are done. If anything seems wrong, ask for a tow rather than driving on. Which checks are the quickest? Tyre pressure first, because it matters most on tarmac. Then the temperature gauge: if the engine ran hot during the recovery, let it cool. Look under the car for a hanging undertray, a leak or a bent part. Listen for any new noise as you move off slowly. When is a tow the better choice? If the car overheated, won't start, has a visible leak, or dragged its underside, a tow protects it. Our towing service can carry it from the dunes to a workshop, and the quote is agreed before the truck moves. What if the car is fine? Then enjoy the rest of the day. Keep the tyres at road pressure on tarmac, and think about the habits that avoid the next stuck moment: lower pressure before soft sand, steady momentum on climbs, and a kit in the boot. Can I get help with something else on the way home? Yes. A flat battery after a long day in the sun is common, and roadside assistance can jump-start it. Our main page lists every service, and a short message is enough to start.How much does it cost, and how fast can you reach me? There is no fixed price. The price depends on how deep the car sits, how far it is from firm ground and how far we travel, and you get a quote on WhatsApp before we start. Desert sites take longer to reach than the city, and the dispatcher gives you an ETA once they see your pin. What makes it quicker or slower to reach me? Distance and traffic on the way, mostly. Average arrival across Dubai is about 30 minutes, and the desert is further out than the city. A clear pin, an open track and a vehicle near firm ground all make the job simpler. What can I do to keep the cost down? Call early, before the car has dug itself in, and don't keep revving. A shallow stuck car costs the team less effort than a deeply buried one, and the price follows the effort. A clear photo and pin also save time on the day. What if I free the car myself? Tell the dispatcher straight away. You can cancel free of charge before a truck is dispatched. After dispatch, fees may apply, and the full terms are on the cancellation policy page. Which pullouts do you not offer? No. We don't do basement or underground car-park pullouts, and we don't pull vehicles out of ditches, mud or building sites.

Landmarks alone are unreliable in dunes, so use the pin whenever you have signal.How long will it take to get to me?It depends on where you are. Desert sites are further out than the city, and traffic on the way matters. The dispatcher gives you an ETA on WhatsApp once you share your pin.Should I let the tyres down myself?Dropping to about 15 PSI widens the tyre footprint and often frees a car on level sand. Only do it if the car is stable, and pump the tyres back up before you drive on tarmac.Can I wait in the car?If the car is stable and shaded, yes. In summer heat stay with the vehicle, in shade, and keep water within reach. If anyone feels unwell, call 999.Will the recovery damage my car?A proper recovery pulls from the car's rated recovery points, never the tow ball or a plastic bumper, and uses a strap made for the job. Tell us if your recovery points are bent or missing.Can you recover a car on a slope?Often yes, but slopes are harder and may need a winch. Send a photo that shows the angle. If the car is tilting or could roll, get out and stay clear of it.Can I use a rope and another car to pull mine out?It is better to wait. An ordinary rope puts a violent shock through both vehicles. A kinetic recovery strap is gentler, but it must be rated for the weight and attached to a rated recovery point.How much does it cost?It depends on how deep the car sits and how far off-road it is.

Most heavy 4x4s get stuck after losing momentum on a climb, on tyres that were too hard for the sand, or with the underside resting on the sand, which is called high-centred.Lost momentum: a climb that needs speed stalls halfway, and the wheels dig in as the driver adds throttle.Tyre pressure: hard road pressures give a narrow footprint, so a heavy vehicle cuts through the surface.High-centred: the chassis or diffs sit on the sand and the wheels no longer carry the weight.Load: roof racks, water, extra passengers and a trailer all add to the problem.How it differsWhat makes a heavy 4x4 recovery different from a car?More weight means more pull force and more load on every part of the chain: the strap, the shackles and, above all, the recovery points. A heavy 4x4 is usually pulled with a winch and a snatch block, or a strap rated for its weight, from points built to take the load.The recovery points come firstFactory recovery points are bolted to the chassis and rated for the job. Aftermarket bumpers and bull bars may have points that are not rated, and a tow ball or a plastic bumper is never an anchor. The crew checks the points before anything is tensioned, so say if yours were modified.Steady pull, not a jerkA winch gives a steady, controllable pull, which is kinder to a heavy vehicle than a snatch. Where a kinetic strap is used it must be rated for the weight of the heavier vehicle, and everyone stays well clear of the line of the strap.Which method for which situation?Heavy 4x4 recovery: usual method by situationSituationUsual approachHeavy 4x4 bogged, wheels buried, on level sandTyres let down, then a rated strap pull or a winch pullHigh-centred: chassis resting on the sandClear sand under the body, lift or ease the load, then a controlled winch pullBuried on a dune face or slopeWinch with a snatch block from above; the team may re-anchor the recovery vehicleTwo vehicles stuck togetherRecover the lighter or easier one first, then the otherTrailer or caravan attachedTrailer disconnected or recovered separately, then the 4x4Details that helpWhat should I tell you about my Land Cruiser, Patrol or pickup?Send the model and year, a photo showing how deep the body sits, and whether the factory recovery points are still in place.

For the basics of waiting safely, read what to do when your car is stuck in sand.AfterwardsWhat should I check on a heavy 4x4 after the pull?Pump the tyres back to road pressure, check the temperature gauge, and look under the vehicle for a hanging undertray, a leak or a bent part. If it overheated, dragged its underside or won't start, ask for a tow instead of driving on.Heavy vehicles work their drivetrain hard in soft sand, so a short stop to let it cool is cheap insurance.

For tows see our towing service in Dubai.IllustrationJump-startCar won't start? Start with a jump-startA flat battery is the most common reason people call us, especially in summer. A technician brings a booster to your car and starts it where it is parked: at home, at the office or in a mall car park. If the battery is old, a replacement is the better fix.How do I know it is the battery?The engine cranks slowly or only clicks, the headlights are dim, the dashboard flickers when you turn the key, or the car was fine yesterday after a light was left on. Those are classic flat-battery signs.What should I tell you?The make, model and year, and whether the car has start-stop or is electric. Electric cars have a small 12V battery too, and it can go flat on its own.Battery replacementDoes my car need a new battery?Often, yes, if the battery is old, the case is swollen, the terminals are covered in white or green crust, or it goes flat again within hours of a jump. A fairly new battery that went flat because a light was left on usually revives with a jump-start. The technician decides on site.Jump-start or replace: rules of thumbWhat you seeUsually meansFairly new battery, flat after a light was left onA jump-start usually worksOld battery, slow to crank for weeksReplacement is likelySwollen case, or white and green crust on the terminalsReplace itDies again within hours of a jump-startReplace it, or check the alternatorStarts after a jump but the battery light stays onAlternator problem, not just the batteryWhy do batteries fail so fast in Dubai?Heat speeds up the chemical wear inside a car battery, and a parked car in the summer sun is much hotter than the air around it. Short trips make it worse, because the alternator never gets time to refill what the starter used. Start-stop systems cycle the battery many times a day. Batteries here often last fewer years than in cooler countries.Is it the battery or the alternator?If the car starts after a jump but the battery light stays on, or it stalls while driving, the alternator may not be charging the battery. A new battery won't fix that, and a mechanic should check the charging system.Which battery does my car need?It depends on the make, model and year. Cars with start-stop usually need an AGM or EFB battery, and some cars need the new battery registered with the car's computer. Send those details, say if the car is electric, and add a photo of the battery label if you can reach it. Ask the dispatcher whether the technician can take the old battery, because old car batteries must be recycled, never binned.Flat tyreFlat tyre: can you change it at the roadside?Yes, if it is safe to do so and you have a good spare. Pull over as far from traffic as you can, switch on your hazard lights and get everyone out on the side away from the road. If the spare is flat or missing, or the wheel is bent, the car needs a tow instead.What should I do while I wait?Stay well back from the car, behind the barrier on a highway. Place a warning triangle behind the car on the traffic side only if it is safe to do so. A photo of the tyre helps the dispatcher decide before the technician leaves.LockoutLocked your keys in the car?A technician can open the car without damaging the door or the lock. Send your location, the make and model, and whether the keys are inside. If the keys are lost altogether, you will also need a replacement key.Will it damage my car?The aim is to open it without damage. Say whether it is a push-start or smart-key car and whether it has an alarm, so the technician can plan. Keys left inside a running car are an emergency: if a child or pet is inside, call 999 first.Out of fuelOut of fuel: can you bring some?Yes. Tell us whether your car takes petrol or diesel and where you are, and fuel is delivered to your car. If you put the wrong fuel in, don't start the engine: running it spreads the problem, and the car needs a tow.SafetyBroken down on a Dubai highway? Do this firstGet to the hard shoulder if the car still moves, switch on your hazard lights, and get everyone out on the side away from traffic, behind the barrier. Then send us your live location pin on WhatsApp. On fast roads such as Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Emirates Road, staying behind the barrier is the most important step.Hazard lights on. Ease onto the hard shoulder if the car will still move.Everyone out on the side away from the traffic, standing well back and behind the barrier if there is one.If you carry a warning triangle, put it behind the car on the traffic side, only if it is safe to walk there.If anyone is hurt, call 999 (police) or 998 (ambulance) first.Send us your live pin, the direction you were driving, the last exit or landmark you passed, and a photo of the car.A live pin matters more on a highway than anywhere else, because two carriageways can be a few metres apart but several kilometres apart by road.While you waitHow do I wait safely in the Dubai heat?Stay in the shade if you can, keep water within reach and keep everyone together. From late May to September the heat is strong, so don't walk along the road looking for signal. If anyone feels dizzy, sick or confused, call 999 or 998 right away.At a roadside, wait behind the barrier. In a car park, wait in the shade of the building or the car.

You get the quote on WhatsApp before the job starts.If the car turns out to need a workshop, the dispatcher will say so rather than sell you a fix that won't work. See towing for that case, or the main page for 24/7 car recovery in Dubai.Frequently asked questionsWhat does roadside assistance cover?+Jump-starts and battery replacement, flat tyre changes, car lockouts and fuel delivery, plus similar quick fixes where the car stands. If the car cannot be fixed there, we can tow it instead.How fast can someone reach me in Dubai?+Average arrival across Dubai is about 30 minutes, depending on traffic and where you are. Send your live location pin and the dispatcher gives you an ETA on WhatsApp.Can you jump-start my car in a mall car park or at home?+Yes. A technician comes to the car wherever it is parked: at home, at the office, in a mall car park or at the roadside. Send your pin, and the level or bay number if it is an underground car park.My car still will not start after a jump-start. What now?+Then the fault is probably not just a flat battery, and the car needs a workshop. We can tow it there. Tell the dispatcher what the car did when you tried to start it.Will a lockout damage my car?+The aim is to open the car without damaging the door or the lock. Tell us the make and model, whether it is a push-start or smart-key car, and whether it has an alarm, so the technician can plan.Can you bring petrol or diesel if I run out of fuel?+Yes. Tell us whether your car takes petrol or diesel and where you are. If you put the wrong fuel in, do not start the engine, because running it spreads the problem; the car then needs a tow.Can you change a flat tyre on a highway shoulder?+If it is safe and you have a good spare, yes. Get everyone out on the side away from traffic first, and stay behind the barrier. If the spare is flat or missing, or the wheel is bent, the car needs a tow.How much does roadside assistance cost?+There is no fixed price list because the problem and the place change the job. You get a quote on WhatsApp before we start, so you decide with the number in front of you.Can I cancel if the car starts by itself?+Yes. Tell the dispatcher straight away. You can cancel free of charge before a technician is dispatched. After dispatch, fees may apply; the terms are on the terms and cancellation page.Related helpTowing serviceWhen the car will not move after a quick fix, or has a fault or crash damage.Open Car recoveryAccident, electric and luxury car recovery, and motorcycles.Open Car pullout serviceFor a car stuck in sand, the desert or on a beach.Open Quote before we startNeed roadside help right now?The fastest way is WhatsApp: share your location pin, the vehicle and what happened.

These jobs need larger equipment than a car tow, so the dispatcher needs the vehicle type, weight and load before quoting.What counts as heavy recovery?Anything too big or too heavy for a car tow truck: lorries, tippers, tankers, container trailers, buses and coaches. A van or pickup is usually a normal job for our towing service.What does the dispatcher need to know?The vehicle type and rough weight, what it carries, where it is and which direction it faces, whether it blocks a lane, and what is wrong with it. That decides what is sent and whether the job needs special handling.Safety firstWhat should I do at the scene of a truck or bus breakdown?Switch on the hazard lights, put out the warning triangle only if it is safe to do so, and keep everyone well away from traffic. If anyone is hurt, call 999 first. After a crash, get the police report number before the vehicle is moved, because insurers ask for it.Buses and passengersWith a bus or coach, passengers come first. Move everyone to a safe place away from the carriageway before anything else, then send your location.Tankers and loadsTell us what the vehicle is carrying, especially if it is liquid, hazardous or likely to shift. A load can change how a vehicle is recovered, and sometimes it has to be dealt with first.What to send for heavy recovery1Your live location pin and direction of travel2The vehicle type and rough weight3What it is carrying4Whether it is blocking a lane5What went wrong, and where it needs to go Open WhatsApp Or call +971 56 361 3657What affects the price?The weight of the vehicle and its load, how hard the recovery is, how far it has to go and how easy the site is to reach. You get the quote on WhatsApp before the job starts.Is a van or pickup a heavy job?Usually not. Vans, pickups and cars are a standard tow, and an electric or damaged car goes through car recovery. If you are unsure which one you need, send a photo and the dispatcher will tell you.Frequently asked questionsWhat is the heaviest vehicle you can recover?+It depends on the vehicle, its load and where it is. Tell the dispatcher the type, rough weight and load, and they will say whether it can be done and how.Can you help after a crash that involves the police?+Yes. Call 999 first if anyone is hurt. After a crash, the police report number is needed before a vehicle is moved. Send us the location once the scene is safe.Do you work with company fleets?+Fleet operators can message us on WhatsApp to discuss what they need. We don't publish contract terms on this page.What if my bus has passengers on board?+Get everyone out and to a safe place away from traffic first. Then send your location on WhatsApp or call.My truck is blocking a lane. What should I do?+Switch on the hazard lights, place a warning triangle only if it is safe to walk there, and keep everyone well away from traffic. Then tell the dispatcher it is blocking a lane, because that changes how quickly the job is planned.How fast can you arrive?+It depends on where you are and the traffic.

The tips are practical: they are about helping the dispatcher find you quickly.Central DubaiThe business and tower district along Sheikh Zayed Road, from Trade Centre to Downtown and Business Bay, with Al Jaddaf and Zabeel on the Creek side. Rush-hour traffic is heavy, and most buildings park underground. Share the building name or the mall entrance as well as your pin. We can't reach vehicles inside basement or underground car parks. A car on a ramp or at surface level is easier for us to recover. Kerbside stopping is limited around Downtown and Business Bay, so mention the street you are on.Communities in this zoneAl JaddafBusiness BayCity WalkCulture VillageDowntown DubaiDubai Design DistrictTrade Centre FirstTrade Centre SecondZabeelMarina & BeachfrontThe coastal strip from Umm Suqeim and Jumeirah up through Al Sufouh to Dubai Marina, JBR, Bluewaters Island and Palm Jumeirah. Beach roads and Sheikh Zayed Road run side by side, and the Marina streets are narrow. Say which road you are on: Jumeirah Beach Road, Al Sufouh Road and Sheikh Zayed Road run parallel, close together. On Palm Jumeirah, say whether you are on the trunk, the crescent or a frond, and the nearest building. In the Marina and JBR, the tower name or the nearest tram or metro stop helps most.Communities in this zoneAl SafaAl SufouhAl WaslBluewaters IslandDubai HarbourDubai MarinaJBRJumeirahPalm JumeirahUmm SuqeimOld DubaiDeira and Bur Dubai face each other across Dubai Creek, with Al Karama, Al Satwa, Oud Metha, Port Saeed, Al Rigga, Hor Al Anz, Al Badaa and Al Mamzar around them. The streets are older and narrower, and on-street parking is dense. Tell us which side of the Creek you are on, Deira or Bur Dubai, because the nearest crossing can be a long way round. In tight streets the loading spot matters. A wheel-lift often suits a short move; the dispatcher confirms for your car. A shop name or a building number plus your pin removes any doubt in dense blocks.Communities in this zoneAl BadaaAl KaramaAl MamzarAl RiggaAl SatwaBur DubaiDeiraHor Al AnzOud MethaPort SaeedNew Dubai WestAl Barsha, Al Quoz and the media and internet cities on the Sheikh Zayed Road side, with Dubai Sports City, Motor City, JVC and JVT further inland.
