About Hard Shoulder
Hard Shoulder is the UK app that gets drivers moving again. With a few taps, drivers, insurers, dealerships and fleet operators can book verified mobile tyre fitters, recovery trucks and vehicle transporters near them. We match each job by location and take payment in the app by card, Apple Pay, Google Wallet or Klarna.
We work nationwide across the UK and partner with insurance providers and businesses. We're a small, fast-moving remote team, and every person we hire shapes how the product and company grow.
