£89 is the call-out. An AdBlue tank drain and flush is quoted on the phone before a technician travels. If the SCR system needs component replacement — dosing injector, pump, tank or catalyst — that is separate, and you will be told before any work starts. If this is a job we cannot fix at the roadside, we will tell you that on the phone rather than after we arrive.
What to do right now in Trowbridge

Petrol in the AdBlue tank in Trowbridge — what is different locally
Vehicles in Trowbridge are often found on the hard standing of a yard or a forecourt, and an on-site drain avoids a recovery movement that would otherwise cost more than the repair.
Specialist SCR workshops in Wiltshire are scattered, and the nearest one to Trowbridge may not be the nearest one that can actually clear this particular fault. Vans and pickups around Trowbridge carry larger AdBlue tanks, are refuelled by whoever is on shift, and lose a working day rather than an evening when they are off the road.
A drain done on the day is usually cheaper than a recovery plus a workshop slot plus the wait, but that is only true where the contamination direction allows it. Seasonal contrast matters here — summer calls skew towards wrong fills at the pump, winter calls towards level and quality warnings that turn out to be temperature-related.
Location changes the logistics of this job and nothing else about it — the severity is set by what went into which tank. Frequently needs SCR component work rather than a drain. Quoted before a technician travels. Coverage runs across Wiltshire on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.

Common questions
What if my vehicle is already at a garage in Trowbridge?
That is fine. The work is mobile, so it happens wherever the vehicle is standing — a forecourt, a yard, a driveway or somebody else's workshop.
Will I need recovery from Trowbridge?
Only if the SCR system needs component work that cannot be done where the vehicle is. That determination is made on the phone before anything is booked.
Is petrol worse than diesel in the AdBlue tank?
Generally yes. Both contaminate the circuit; petrol is the more aggressive solvent and adds a seal and diaphragm failure mode on top.
