Vehicle Recovery: Safe Return, Every Time
Breaking down is never fun. Whether you’ve had a small accident, your engine has failed, or your van just won’t start, you need help fast. That’s where vehicle recovery services come in. At STC 24hr Recovery Ltd, we’re ready to help you get back on the road—or safely get your vehicle where it needs to go.
We cover Essex, Hertfordshire, and surrounding areas with fast, reliable, and affordable recovery services for cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles.
What Is Vehicle Recovery?
Vehicle recovery is more than just towing. It includes a full range of services designed to help move your vehicle safely from one location to another, especially when it can’t be driven. That might be due to:
- A breakdown
- A crash or accident
- Flat tyres or battery
- Running out of fuel
- Off-road incidents (e.g. stuck in mud or a ditch)
Our trained drivers and recovery vehicles are equipped to handle all these situations—and more.
How Is It Different from Regular Roadside Help?
A basic roadside assistance service can help with minor issues like jump-starts or tyre changes. But if your vehicle has more serious damage or just won’t move, you’ll need full vehicle recovery. That means safely loading your car onto a truck and transporting it to a destination of your choice.
At STC, we handle both simple breakdowns and full recoveries. Whether your car has stopped working on a back road or been in a collision on the M11, we’re here to help.
Who Can Use Vehicle Recovery?
Anyone! Our services are ideal for:
- Private car owners
- Van drivers and tradespeople
- Taxi drivers and minicabs
- Delivery vehicles
- Fleet and company cars
No matter the type of vehicle or situation, we’re equipped to recover it safely.
When Should You Call for Recovery?
Here are some common reasons people call us:
1. After a Breakdown
If your engine dies or your car won’t start, and the issue can’t be fixed on the spot, we’ll recover your vehicle and take it to a garage or your home.
2. After an Accident
Even if the damage seems small, your vehicle might not be safe to drive. Let us transport it to a repair shop or insurance-approved location.
3. Stuck in a Ditch or Mud
Sometimes cars or vans slip off the road or get stuck in tough conditions. Our winch-out service can safely recover your vehicle without causing damage.
4. Flat Tyres, Dead Batteries, or Fuel Trouble
If roadside assistance can’t fix it, we’ll recover your vehicle quickly.
