What "local" actually means here
It means the number is answered by the people who send technicians to Durham, and that coverage of DH1, DH6, DH7 and the surrounding districts is a dispatch area rather than a marketing claim. It does not mean a building — Wrong Fuel Durham has no premises and never has. Call 01293 248666 and the equipment comes to you.
Read the reviews before you ring
There are 2,190 of them on Trustpilot, averaging 4.8 out of 5. Look for the words that keep recurring: prompt, reassuring, explained everything.
Look for the criticism too. It centres on what the job costs, which is why the ranges are printed here — £89 to £199 to come out, £199 to £1,999 to drain — and the exact sum is settled on the call.
Questions we get asked
What about a van or a hire car?
Same job. With a hire car, ring the hire company too — some policies cover a misfuel drain and it is worth knowing before you pay.
How long will I be waiting?
Arrival depends where you are across DH1, DH6, DH7 and the surrounding districts and what is already running. You get a realistic window on the call rather than an optimistic one.
Is this a garage?
No. Wrong Fuel Durham is mobile. A technician travels to the vehicle wherever it is standing.
What if I have already driven it?
Still call. Most vehicles driven a short distance are recoverable. Tell us how far you got, because it changes the kit we bring.
