Local, mobile, and not a garage
There is no Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough premises, and we would rather say so than let a local name imply a local building. A technician covering TS1 and TS3 to TS8 travels to the vehicle — forecourt, driveway, car park or verge. Call 01293 248666 and you reach the people who dispatch to Middlesbrough, not a national queue.

What happens if you put diesel in petrol car: what to do
Rarer, less destructive, still needs draining.
Litres matter less than you think
The quantity of wrong fuel is rarely what sets the price. Distance travelled through the system does. Fuel that never left the tank comes out with a pump and a hose. Fuel that reached the high-pressure pump may have begun wearing it, and fuel that reached the injectors may have carried that wear with it.
Step by step
- Do not start it — that is the whole thing Everything else on this list is detail. This one line is the difference between a call-out and a pump.
- Leave the vehicle where it stopped Pushing or coasting is still movement, and movement is how contaminated fuel finds the pickup.
- Sort out safety Hazards, and get people out of the vehicle if you are anywhere near moving traffic.
- Call 01293 248666 Answered around the clock. Tell us what went in and whether it ran; you get the full price before a technician sets off.
- The job itself Extract, flush, refill, prime, run up, check. Roughly an hour on a standard vehicle.
- Old fuel away, invoice done Controlled waste, transfer note, registered carrier. Keep the note — it is what protects you.

What people actually said
4.8 out of 5 from 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. Two themes dominate the positive ones — how fast someone arrived, and how calm they were about it.
The recurring negative is price. Publishing that alongside the answer seems more useful than hiding it: £89 to £199 for the call-out, £199 to £1,999 for the drain, the total quoted before a technician moves, and no charge for being told on the phone that this is a job for a workshop.
Questions we get asked
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.
Can I just top it up with the right fuel?
No. Dilution does not fix contamination, and driving to a filling station to try it is the mile that turns a drain into a repair.
What happens to the old fuel?
It leaves with us as controlled waste under a waste transfer note. It is not tipped, and it is not resold to you.
Is this a garage?
No. Wrong Fuel Middlesbrough is mobile. A technician travels to the vehicle wherever it is standing.
