Real Experience, Real Solutions

Over the past 15-20 years working in roadside assistance and recovery, I've helped thousands of motorists when they've needed help most – from simple fixes like replacing a blown fuse to complex accident recoveries and everything in between.

I've changed wheels in torrential rain, jump-started batteries at 3am in freezing car parks, recovered stranded vehicles from impossible locations, and talked anxious motorists through their breakdown when they just needed reassurance that help was coming.

There's not much I haven't seen or dealt with on the roadside.

Why I Started Dual Action Roadside

After years working for large national breakdown providers, I noticed the same problems kept frustrating motorists:

  • Being stuck in call center queues or the frustration of using an app when you just need to speak to someone who can help
  • Technicians dispatched from 30+ miles away when there are closer options
  • Unrealistic arrival times that leave people waiting for hours
  • No direct contact with the person actually coming to help you
  • Direct communication – You speak to me, the technician attending
  • Local service – Based right here in Watford, not a distant regional depot
  • Honest arrival times – Based on where I actually am, not computer guesses
  • Personal service – You're not a ticket number, you're someone who needs help

In 2025, I decided to do things differently. I hung up the keys to my HGV driving career and started Dual Action Roadside – a local breakdown service built on what I learned actually matters to stranded motorists:

I built the roadside service I wish existed when I was working for the big providers – fast, honest, local, and personal.

What's This Site Actually About?

Good question. Let me break it down:

1. Roadside Breakdown Assistance (The Main Thing)

What I do

Jump Start Service
Out Of Fuel Service
Vehicle Fault Code Reading Diagnostics Service
Wheel Change Service
Car Battery Replacement Service

Where I do it

Harrow
Watford
Hemel Hempstead
St Albans

that's the primary reason this site exists

I provide professional mobile roadside assistance: battery jump starts, wheel changes, fuel delivery, and diagnostics. Available 24/7.

That's the business. That's what pays the bills. That's what I do most days.

Need help now? Call 07594 218 651 and let's get you sorted.

2. Hints, Tips & Product Recommendations

But here's the thing – after 15+ years helping people with breakdowns, you learn a lot about what causes problems and how to avoid them.

So throughout this site (and especially on the blog), I share:

  • Tips for preventing common breakdowns
  • Honest product recommendations (stuff I've actually used and trust)
  • Seasonal advice (winterizing your car, summer checks, etc.)
  • Basic maintenance guides anyone can follow
  • Reviews of automotive products that actually work

Important: When I recommend a product, it's because I genuinely think it's good – not because someone paid me to mention it. I'm not running an affiliate empire here; I'm just sharing what works based on real-world experience.

3. Website Design for Mobile Automotive Businesses

And then there's the third thing I do: I build websites for small mobile automotive businesses.

Mobile mechanics, detailers, other roadside services, tyre fitters – businesses like mine that need a proper online presence but don't want to deal with expensive agencies or monthly subscription website builders.

Why would you want me to build your site?

  • I'm in the same industry, so I understand your business and what customers actually need to see
  • I know how to make sites rank locally (because mine does)
  • Everything is built mobile-first, because that's where your customers are when they need you
  • No monthly subscriptions or hidden fees – you own your site outright
  • I actually answer my phone and explain things in plain English

I do this work in the gaps between breakdown callouts – evenings, quieter days, that sort of thing.

If you need a website for your mobile automotive business, drop me a message and we'll talk through what you need.

So that's the site in a nutshell:

  • Primarily: Roadside breakdown assistance in Watford and surrounding areas
  • Secondarily: Honest automotive advice and product recommendations
  • On the side: Website design for mobile automotive businesses

Three things, one person, zero nonsense.
