Local knowledge

Good to know in Clifton & Ruddington

  • The A453

    It's a fast dual carriageway to junction 24 and the airport. If you stop on it, get out on the verge side, stand well back behind the barrier, and send us a pin. Don't try to fix anything at the roadside.

  • Back from a holiday to a flat battery

    A week or two in an airport car park, or on the drive while you're away, is often enough to flatten a battery. We'll jump it, test it and, if it's had it, fit a new one there so you can get home.

  • Clifton Bridge

    Clifton Bridge and the approaches get heavy at peak times. If you're stuck on or near the bridge, hazards on and stay safe. We'll come to you and move you somewhere safe to sort things out.
