Car Recovery — Safe, Fast & Direct

Your car has stopped or broken down, and you need to get it moved safely. That’s exactly what we do. Franks Recovery specializes in getting vehicles off the road quickly when drivers are stranded.

What is Car Recovery?

Car recovery means moving your vehicle to safety when it can’t be driven. This happens after breakdowns, collisions, mechanical failures, or roadside incidents. We handle the recovery — you handle the next step.

When You Need Car Recovery

• Mechanical breakdown — engine issues, flat tire problems, steering failures
• Collision damage — vehicle is unsafe to drive after an accident
• Roadside incident — unusual situations where the car can’t move safely
• Stuck vehicle — your car is off the road but movement isn’t safe
• Towing to a repairer — your mechanic needs the vehicle but you can’t drive it

Our Car Recovery Process

1. You call or WhatsApp — give us your location and what happened
2. We confirm details — confirm you’re safe and get any special information (low-loader needed, vehicle details, etc.)
3. We arrive and assess — we check the vehicle, road situation, and safety needs
4. We recover safely — we recover your car using the right equipment for your situation
5. You’re informed of next steps — we confirm where the vehicle is going and what happens now

Common Car Recovery Situations

Flat Tire That’s Not Safe to Drive

If your car has a flat and it’s too damaged to use a spare safely, or you’re in an unsafe location, we recover the vehicle to a repairer or safe location.

Engine Failure or Breakdown

Mechanical failures often mean the car can’t be driven. We recover it to your mechanic or a safe place while you decide on repairs.

Collision Damage

After a collision, even if the car looks drivable, structural or driveline damage might make it unsafe. We move it safely off the road.

Stuck or Off-Road Vehicle

Sometimes a car ends up in a position where moving it without professional help causes more damage. That’s where recovery equipment makes the difference.

What Information to Have Ready

When you call or WhatsApp, it helps if you can tell us:

• Your exact location (street name, mile marker, or landmarks)
• What happened (breakdown, collision, stuck, etc.)
• Whether you and passengers are safe
• Whether the vehicle will start and move a little
• Any special details (low car, high vehicle, items in the car you need)

We can often manage without all of this, but it speeds things up.

FAQs

How much does car recovery cost?

Recovery pricing depends on distance and vehicle type. Call us directly for a quote — we’re transparent about costs.

Can you recover any type of car?

We recover standard cars, but some situations (very low sports cars, wide vehicles, or unusual circumstances) may need special planning. Call ahead if you’re unsure.

Do you take cars to specific repairers?

Yes. You can tell us where to take the car — your mechanic, a dealership, or another location you choose.

Are you available if I’m outside the usual coverage area?

Call us. If you’re beyond our standard range, we can often arrange something or recommend a partner service.

What if my car needs towing while I go with you?

We can usually arrange that. Tell us when you call what you need, and we’ll work it out.

Is recovery covered by my insurance?

Many insurance policies include breakdown or recovery cover. Check your policy, or ask us — we can sometimes help with insurance claims.
