07903 757657What we recover

How Our Accident Recovery Works
Four steps from the moment you call to the moment your vehicle is delivered. No apps, no membership, no waiting on hold.
1
Call Once Everyone Is Safe
Ring the 24/7 recovery line or send a WhatsApp message. A real controller answers, not a queue.
2
Tell Us What Is Damaged
The vehicle, exactly where it is and what condition it is in. Photos sent over WhatsApp help us send the right unit.
3
We Confirm And Dispatch
We confirm the unit we are sending, the price and a realistic time, then head straight to you.
4
Loaded And Delivered
Your vehicle is winched, strapped and secured, then delivered to the address you give us.

Winches, skates and correct strapping, so a damaged vehicle is not damaged further on the way.

Every kind of incident
Accident Situations We Attend Every Day
If a vehicle cannot safely continue after an incident, it needs recovering. These are the calls that come in most often.
Front Or Rear Impact
Crumpled panels, pushed-back radiators and leaking coolant. Not safe to drive, even if it still starts.
Vehicles That Still Start
Running does not mean roadworthy. Bent steering, damaged suspension or a deployed airbag means it gets loaded.
Wheel & Suspension Damage
Snapped arms, buckled wheels and vehicles that will not roll straight. Skates go under and it comes with us.
Motorway & Slip Road Incidents
Hard shoulder recoveries and vehicles stranded after a lane closure, cleared quickly and safely.
Vehicles Blocking The Road
Cleared fast so a junction, carriageway or car park entrance can reopen and traffic can move again.
Total Losses & Write-Offs
Moved to storage, salvage or an assessor without picking up any further damage on the way.

Straight answers on price
What Affects The Cost Of An Accident Recovery
Every recovery is quoted individually, because no two jobs are the same. These are the five things a controller will ask about before giving you a price.
Distance
Where the vehicle is now and where it needs to end up.
Vehicle Type
Weight, length and whether it is loaded all change the unit we send.
Time Of Day
Overnight, weekend and bank holiday call-outs are priced differently.
Extent Of Damage
Whether it rolls and steers, or needs winching and skates.
Access
Live lanes, embankments and tight junctions take longer and need more care.
No surprises. You get a clear figure on the phone before a unit is dispatched, and that is the figure you pay. If the job changes on arrival — a vehicle in worse shape than described, or an access problem nobody knew about — we tell you before we do anything, not afterwards.
Stay safe
What To Do After An Accident
The first few minutes matter most. People come before vehicles, and paperwork comes after both.
- Stop, switch the engine off and put your hazard lights on straight away
- Check everyone in all vehicles for injuries and call 999 if anyone is hurt
- Get yourself and any passengers out of live traffic and behind a barrier
- Exchange names, addresses, registrations and insurer details at the scene
- Photograph the vehicles, the damage, the road layout and any markings
- Report it to the police within 24 hours if details could not be exchanged
Blocking a live lane or a junction?
If a vehicle is stopped in a running lane, keep your seatbelt on, keep your hazards on, stay inside and call 999 first. Once the lane has been closed or the vehicle is safely off the carriageway, call our recovery line and we will clear it.
Call The Recovery LineOnce you are safe, a controller will stay on the line and confirm what we are sending.

Common questions
Accident Recovery FAQs
The questions our controllers are asked most often. If yours is not here, ring the line and ask.
What should I do first after an accident?
Stop, switch the engine off and put your hazards on. Check everyone for injuries and call 999 if anyone is hurt or the road is blocked. Get yourself and your passengers out of live traffic, exchange details with the other driver, then call our recovery line to get the vehicle moved.
Will my insurance pay for accident recovery?
That depends entirely on your policy. Many comprehensive policies include recovery after an accident, and some will not cover delivery to a garage of your choosing. We recover the vehicle either way and give you an invoice you can submit. We are not insurance advisers, so check the wording with your insurer before you assume it is covered.
Can you recover a car that will not roll or steer?
Yes. Seized wheels, snapped suspension arms, a locked steering column or a vehicle that will not select neutral are all routine for us. Mention it on the call so the right winch and skates are on board when we arrive.
Where will you take my vehicle?
Wherever you tell us — your bodyshop, a main dealer, a storage yard or your home address. If nobody will be there to receive it, let the controller know when you book so we can agree how it is to be left.
Do you attend accidents on motorways?
Yes. Hard shoulder, slip road and smart motorway recoveries are routine. If you are stopped in a live lane, call 999 first so the lane can be closed, then call our recovery line.
It still starts and drives. Do I really need recovery?
Often, yes. A vehicle that runs is not necessarily roadworthy. Bent steering, damaged suspension, a deployed airbag or leaking fluids all make it unsafe, and driving it can make both the damage and the claim worse. If you are in any doubt, do not drive it.
Do you cover accidents at night and on bank holidays?
Yes. The recovery line is answered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. Out-of-hours call-outs are priced differently, and you will be told the figure before anything is dispatched.
Can you move a vehicle that has been written off?
Yes. Total losses are moved to storage, an assessor or salvage without picking up any further damage on the way, and we can collect from a yard as easily as from the roadside.
How quickly can you get to me?
It depends on where you are, the time of day and the traffic between us and you. A controller gives you a realistic time on the call and tells you if anything changes. Within Greater London we are usually closest; further afield we will be straight with you about the wait.
How do I pay, and when?
The price is agreed on the phone before we set off, and payment is taken once the job is confirmed or on completion, depending on the recovery. Bodyshop, trade and fleet customers can arrange account terms.
