give me a call, just bought a new little toy that me and dad are gonna use. Basically within a 10-15mile radius from my house BB4 4EE it will cost around £50 anything over 15mile radius the price will go up, if your car has broke down and need it moving or takeing back home this is very ideal. It tilts down once the car is winched onto the back it tilts forward so no effort is required. Also is getting an electric winch put on 
whats people thoughts?

ok maybe a little bit steep, but this is like 24/7 service then think petrol, getting out of working hours to this i dont think its that bad! just think wen people crash there car it can be drove home and it costs them over £200 because it's been taken to an impound kept over night etc...

this price is mainly for people that we don't know as we are advertising in local shops news papers etc, a cheaper price will be for friends and family

Im afraid you will struggle,
i pay £35 a year and get european break down recovery, car gets taken home on a flat bed, 24 hours a day!
Also that includes accidents the car goes straight to my house, so no fee,
also that trailor has no winch so how do you expect to get damaged car that cant steer etc onto the trailor??

if you read above it states that we are getting an electric winch put on, and if you dont have brakedown cover on your insurance, and you need to ring up the AA you have to pay joining fee's etc etc

Proper recovery firms around this area only charge £50-60 to recover/tow your car within a 20 mile radius.
AA charge £100 within a 15 mile radius.

Also big firms have alot of people joined up, so they get alot of money to start with

not being arsey... or snobby.... but i'd rather trust the AA/RAC etc than 'a man and a trailor' operation.
But by the sounds of it its more a local thing so potential customers my know you etc

Sounds a good idea BUT most people these days ahve accident cover either with their insurance or with the RAC/AA etc and would be more likely to call them if they were to break down or crash as they are well known.
But thats not to say it wont work out for you. What do are you towing the trailer with?
