Misfuelled in Hadleigh? We come to you.
Hadleigh is a market town between Ipswich and Sudbury, surrounded by villages where the nearest garage can be a long way off. If you’ve put the wrong fuel in here, the quickest fix is to leave the engine off and call us.
We drive out to the car, drain the tank, flush the fuel lines and refuel, so you can drive it away from the forecourt, the roadside or your home.
