SHYTOT:
Lad I know jacknifed his horse n cart in the snow yesterday, the recovery company that was already working on the motorway charged him £4500.00 to recover him 2 junctions
£4500.00 for 1 hours work ( Robin Barstewards )
Which RDC were you tipping at when you heard that? 
Not in an RDC it was in my office from a subcontractor that works for us full time
and I was contacted within minutes of it happening
I’ve run heavy recovery before & the bill can come to anywhere between £40 & £40,000+.
I could easily explain how a bill of £4500 could be raised if the OP could post the full details.
In another life I was on a heavy recovery job where the bill ended up in excess of £100k. Mind you it was a burning potato bulker in the driveway of a stately home and it took 8 of us and a hired in JCB and two tipper lorries 4 days to sort it.
I gave a couple of fat birds a lift home from Manchester in a Mk2 ■■■■■■ years ago and broke one of my leaf springs 
I learnt then that you need the right kit for moving heavy stuff.
