## Our approach to misfuel recovery

Putting the wrong fuel in your vehicle is stressful enough without worrying about how a recovery provider will handle the process afterwards. At EEK Mechanical, we believe the experience should be clear and straightforward from start to finish. When you contact us after a misfuel, we follow a structured process built around three things: careful review, clear documentation, and written communication that explains exactly what happened and what comes next.

## How the recovery process works

It helps to understand the service itself before looking at how we keep you informed. When you contact us after a misfuel, we dispatch a tow truck to your location — whether that is a forecourt, the roadside, your home, or a car park. The vehicle is then transported to a GBIFDA-certified workshop, where manufacturer-spec fuel system recovery is completed. Recovery equipment lives at the workshop, not at the collection point, so the roadside work is limited to safe loading and towing.

## Step one: structured review

Every job begins with a structured review of the details. We look at the booking information, the collection and transport records, the workshop notes, and any correspondence with you along the way. This gives us a complete picture before we proceed, rather than reacting to a single moment in isolation. If a question relates to timing, communication, or the condition of the vehicle, we trace each step against our records.

## Step two: documentation

Documentation is the backbone of a clear outcome. We keep itemised records of the recovery, including the tow, the workshop work, and any after-hours or distance factors that applied. Because recovery is fully itemised, we can show you precisely what each part of the service involved. You can review our [rate card](/rate-card) at any time to understand how costs are structured — costs vary by tow distance, after-hours timing, and vehicle, and we never hide those variables.

## Step three: clear written communication

Once the review and documentation are complete, we provide a written summary of the work. This sets out what we found, the records we relied on, and the next steps. It is written in plain language and gives you a clear reference point for any follow-up. Our goal is that you never have to chase an answer or wonder where your job stands.

## What to do if you have a question

If something does not feel right, contact us as soon as possible with your booking reference. The sooner we can open a review, the sooner we can gather the relevant records while they are fresh. Keep any notes or photos you have, and we will do the same on our side. A calm, documented conversation almost always reaches a clear answer faster than one without records.
