Nationwide
Accidents do not happen conveniently close to home. We are London based and arrange recovery and transport across the country, including long-distance collections back towards London.
On the ground
Written for someone dealing with this now. If it is easier to talk, the number is at the top of every page.
A common situation: the accident happens two hundred miles away, the vehicle is undriveable, and it has been taken to a compound or a garage near the scene. You are back home, the vehicle is not, and nobody is doing anything about it.
We collect from wherever the vehicle has ended up and bring it back, or take it directly to wherever it needs to be repaired or assessed. It is one arrangement rather than a chain of local operators handing it on.
The further a damaged vehicle travels, the more the transport method matters. An open trailer over three hundred miles exposes an already-damaged vehicle to weather and road debris for hours.
For motorcycles, high-value vehicles and anything with bodywork opened up by the impact, enclosed transport is usually the right answer over distance even where an open trailer would be adequate locally.
Vehicles stopped on a motorway are recovered to a place of safety by the operator appointed for that road, working with the police. From there — a service area, a compound, a police recovery site — we can collect and take the vehicle on.
If a compound has release requirements or charges, deal with those first; we can then collect without a wasted journey.
The same team then handles secure storage, damage assessment and repair, and can look at replacement transport where your circumstances and eligibility allow.
Where the accident was not your fault, some accident-related costs may be recoverable as part of an eligible claim, and we can assist with pursuing them — subject to the circumstances and the relevant insurer's decision.

Nationwide recovery for cars and motorcycles, with the right equipment matched to the vehicle and the circumstances — Hiab, tilt-and-slide, enclosed transport or van.
Beyond the London boroughs, the M25 belt brings in the motorway network proper — the M25 itself plus the M1, M4, M3, M40 and M11 radials — and motorways work differently from every other road.
What your car needs depends on what has actually happened to it. A car that rolls and steers is a straightforward job. One that does neither is not, and sending the wrong equipment turns a two-hour job into a day.
