Emergency Breakdown assistance when you need it
Commercial Vehicle Breakdown Assistance When You Need It Most
A commercial vehicle breakdown doesn't just mean a vehicle at the side of the road. It can mean a missed delivery, a delayed job, an unhappy customer and valuable time when your vehicle isn't earning money.
That's why PLB provides 24-hour emergency roadside breakdown assistance for commercial vehicles in Cornwall, helping businesses get their vehicles moving again as quickly and safely as possible.
From vans and light commercial vehicles through to HGVs and specialist commercial vehicles, our experienced technicians will respond to roadside breakdowns and do everything reasonably possible to diagnose and repair the problem at the roadside.

24-Hour Commercial Vehicle Breakdown Call-Out
Breakdowns don't conveniently happen during workshop opening hours.
Our 24-hour commercial vehicle breakdown service means you can contact us day or night when you need assistance if you breakdown in Cornwall.
When you call, we'll take the information we need about your vehicle, location and the nature of the problem so that we can determine the most appropriate response.
Our priority is simple:
Get to you, identify the problem and get your vehicle moving again wherever possible.
Roadside Commercial Vehicle Repairs
When our technician arrives, the first priority is to establish what's gone wrong.
We'll assess the vehicle and, where possible, diagnose the cause of the breakdown before determining whether a safe and effective roadside repair can be carried out.
Depending on the fault and the circumstances, we may be able to deal with the problem at the roadside and get the vehicle back into operation without the need for recovery.
Our technicians have extensive experience across commercial vehicles and are supported by PLB's wider technical team, which includes specialists in vehicle electronics, diagnostics and commercial vehicle engineering.
The objective isn't simply to get the engine running. It's to make sure the vehicle is safe and suitable to return to the road.
What Happens If We Can't Repair Your Vehicle at the Roadside?
Not every commercial vehicle breakdown can—or should—be repaired at the side of the road.
Some faults require specialist diagnostic equipment, workshop facilities, replacement components or more extensive mechanical work.
If we can't safely complete the repair at the roadside, we can arrange for the vehicle to be recovered to one of our commercial vehicle workshops in Mitchell or Redruth.
Once there, our workshop team can diagnose the problem fully and carry out the necessary repairs.
This gives you continuity from the initial breakdown through to getting the vehicle back on the road—you don't have to start again looking for another garage once the vehicle has been recovered.
Commercial Vehicle Recovery in Cornwall
If the vehicle cannot be repaired at the roadside, we can also help arrange commercial vehicle recovery in Cornwall.
Depending on your circumstances, the vehicle can be recovered to one of our two sites in Cornwall:
• PLB Group (Mitchell), Unit 2 Winfield Park, Mitchell, Newquay, TR8 5FD
• PLB Group (Redruth), Unit 1, Gilberts Coombe, New Portreath Road, Redruth, Cornwall, TR16 4HG
Or an alternative destination – if you would prefer the vehicle to be recovered elsewhere.
We'll discuss the available options with you so you can decide on the most appropriate solution for your business.
From Breakdown to Back on the Road
We want to make dealing with a commercial vehicle breakdown as straightforward as possible.
1. Call Our 24-Hour Breakdown Number - 07983 973048
Tell us where you are, what vehicle you're driving and what's happened.
2. Roadside Response
We'll respond to the breakdown and assess the vehicle.
3. Diagnose the Problem
Our technician will identify the likely cause and determine whether a roadside repair is possible.
4. Repair at the Roadside Where Possible
If the problem can be safely repaired there and then, we'll do everything we reasonably can to get the vehicle running and back into operation.
5. Recovery if Required
If workshop facilities are required, we'll help arrange recovery to our Mitchell or Redruth workshop, or another agreed destination.
6. Workshop Diagnosis & Repair
At PLB, our technicians have access to our full workshop facilities, specialist equipment and advanced diagnostics to identify the problem and complete the necessary repairs.
7. Get You Moving Again
Everything is focused on one outcome: minimising your downtime and getting your vehicle back to work.
The Expertise to Find the Problem
Commercial vehicle breakdowns aren't always straightforward.
Modern vehicles combine mechanical, electrical and electronic systems, which means accurately identifying the cause of a breakdown requires both experience and technical knowledge.
Across PLB's team, we have IRTEC and IVECO accredited technicians, together with technicians who specialise in vehicle electronics and tail lift engineering.
If your vehicle needs to come into one of our workshops, our technicians also have access to advanced diagnostic technology including Jaltest multi-brand diagnostics and IVECO manufacturer diagnostic equipment.
That combination of experience, specialist knowledge and technology means we're equipped to investigate a wide range of commercial vehicle faults rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Fully Equipped Commercial Vehicle Workshops in Mitchell & Redruth
If a roadside repair isn't possible, your vehicle can be brought into one of our two commercial vehicle facilities.
Across our Mitchell and Redruth workshops, we have capacity for up to nine commercial vehicles at a time, with facilities including inspection pits, commercial vehicle column lifts, brake testing equipment, diagnostic technology, a headlight beam setter, shaker plate and loaded trailer brake testing equipment.
This means the same team that responds to your breakdown can access the facilities and expertise required to complete more extensive repairs.
It's a complete service from roadside breakdown to workshop repair and back on the road.
Commercial Vehicle Breakdown Support for Fleet Operators
For a fleet manager, a breakdown creates an immediate operational problem.
"How quickly can we get this vehicle working again?"
Our emergency breakdown service forms part of our wider approach to fleet maintenance.
If one of the vehicles we maintain develops a problem, you already have a trusted team to call who understands commercial vehicles and has the workshop facilities to support you if the problem can't be resolved at the roadside.
While we'll always be there when something goes wrong, our wider aim is to help our fleet customers reduce the likelihood of breakdowns happening in the first place through planned servicing, PMIs, diagnostics and preventative fleet maintenance.
Broken Down? Call PLB 24 Hours a Day
If your van, HGV or commercial vehicle has broken down, contact our 24-hour emergency roadside breakdown team.
We'll do everything reasonably possible to get your vehicle back up and running at the roadside. If that's not possible, we'll help arrange recovery and get the vehicle into our Mitchell or Redruth workshop for the necessary repairs.
