What we do

Built for the worst possible
moment.

Towing & Vehicle Recovery

Flatbed and spec-lift recovery for cars, vans and motorbikes — to your home, garage or chosen destination.

Jump Start & Roadside

Flat battery, lockout, misfuel or fuel delivery — fast roadside fixes that get you moving without a tow.

Mobile Tyre Replacement

Punctures and blowouts handled at the roadside — premium, mid-range and budget brands carried on every van.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps from panic to peace of mind.

01

CALL US

Live operators, no IVR. Tell us your location and what’s gone wrong — we’ll take the details and dispatch the nearest unit.

02

Nearest unit dispatched

Our system pings the closest recovery driver with the right kit for your vehicle. You get a live ETA.

03

Recovered on-site

Roadside repair, jump start, tyre fitted, or vehicle loaded and delivered safely to your chosen destination.

 
Why drivers call us first

Not a call centre. A response team.

We started Recovery Buddy because the existing options were too slow and too quick to push membership fees. Every driver and dispatcher in our network is held to one standard: get the customer moving, fast and fairly.

Modern recovery fleet

Flatbeds, spec lifts and mobile tyre vans — the right equipment for every vehicle, every road.

Trained drivers only

Every operator is licensed, DBS-checked, uniformed and trained for motorway response.

Honest, transparent service

We confirm the details with you before we set off — no surprises along the way.

Live ETA by phone

Get a live arrival update the moment a driver is on the way to your location.

Real drivers, real recoveries

Common questions

Straight answers, no fine print.

Can’t see your question? Call us on 78685028010— a human always answers.

Our UK average arrival time is 35 minutes. In dense urban areas (London, Manchester, Birmingham) we're typically with you in 20–30 minutes. Rural and motorway call-outs can take a little longer – we always give a live ETA before dispatch.
Yes – genuinely 24/7, 365 days a year. A real person answers the phone whatever the hour.
Card payment on-site (chip & PIN or contactless), Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer on completion. We do not require cash on emergency call-outs.
We recover cars, vans up to 3.5 tonnes, motorbikes, classics, prestige vehicles, and 4x4s. For HGVs or specialist commercial recoveries call us first – we'll match you with the right unit.
Yes – but for safety we coordinate with National Highways to get a safe-stop in place first. If you are in a live lane, exit to the hard shoulder, get behind the barrier, and call 999 before calling us.
Yes. Our mobile tyre vans carry premium, mid-range and budget brands across the most common sizes for cars and vans. If we don't have your size on board we'll source one from a local partner depot within the hour.
