The One-Stop Shop For All Your Vehicle Breakdown & Repairing Needs in Chessington, Surrey

Slow Down Move Over

Everybody here at National Rescue is proud to support the "Slow Down Move Over" campaign, bringing a culture of awareness to all road users, so that when they are presented with a temporary hazard on the road network, it will assist them in taking the appropriate action to avoid the danger.

The temporary hazard can be in various forms, including but not exclusive to broken down vehicles, passengers of those vehicles, roadside recovery vehicles, or any roadside worker.

After numerous deaths and serious injuries in recent years, it is our intention to bring all areas of our industry together, with a unified approach to addressing this issue.

Electric Vehicle Charging

It’s no secret that thousands of electric vehicle charging points will be needed to cover the UK, if the Government is to hit its target to ban all new petrol and diesel cars from 2035.

In research commissioned by the independent recovery industry, more than half of people who do not own an electric car, said that a lack of convenient charging points was a barrier to them switching.

Two thirds said they would reconsider if there was better coverage.

With this in mind, National Rescue is pleased to announce that the first of its electric vehicle charging points is now open and available to the public, at our workshops in Chessington.

If you find yourself in need of a charge, please contact us on 03448 737283 to arrange a booking slot.

Red Light Spells Danger

As many of our regular visitors will know, for a number of years now, the Recovery Industry has been working tirelessly towards getting safer roadside working conditions introduced for Recovery Operators of the UK.

National Rescue is beyond proud to be one of the first Recovery Operators in the UK to be issued with a Vehicle Special Order, authorising the use of rear facing red lights at the side of the road.

If you are travelling down the road and you see red lights flashing up in the distance, please be mindful that there is a Recovery Operator there, loading a vehicle in a very dangerous environment. Please Slow Down & Move Over and help us, help the broken down member of the public and roadside technician get home safely to their families.

Remember, Red Lights Spell Danger!
