A local, family-run recovery firm
Stevie Wood Recovery is a family-run vehicle recovery business based in Gilmerton, in the south of Edinburgh. We know the city well, from the centre's busy streets to the country roads out past Penicuik.
Breakdowns never happen at a good time, so we don't keep office hours. Middle of the night, a holiday weekend or rush hour, we're one phone call away.
