Can KYS help?

If it cannot be driven safely, call.

A breakdown is not always a completely dead vehicle. If a warning light, tyre problem or mechanical fault means continuing could be unsafe, stop somewhere safe and tell KYS what has happened.

01

Vehicle will not start

Tell KYS what happened before it stopped and whether you are somewhere safe.

02

Battery or electrical problem

If the vehicle has no power or will not turn over, call and explain what it is doing.

03

Puncture or tyre damage

No usable spare, damaged wheel or a tyre that is not safe to drive on.

04

Mechanical failure

Engine, clutch, gearbox or another fault that means the vehicle cannot continue safely.

05

Vehicle off the road

If the car cannot be driven after an incident, KYS can discuss safe recovery.

06

Recovery to a garage or home

Agree where the vehicle needs to go before it is collected and moved.
