VEHICLE RECOVERY FAQ

Useful answers before you call.

How do I book vehicle recovery?+

Call Strive Motors so we can confirm the vehicle, collection location, destination and loading requirements before accepting the recovery. Recovery is arranged by telephone rather than automatically booked online.

Can you recover a vehicle that won't start?+

Potentially, yes. Non-running vehicles are one of the situations recovery can be suitable for. We will confirm the vehicle condition, access and whether it can be safely loaded when you call.

Can you bring my vehicle directly to Strive Motors?+

Yes, where the recovery is suitable and agreed, the vehicle can be transported directly to Strive Motors so diagnosis and repair can continue with the same business.

Can you recover a vehicle from my home?+

Recovery can be arranged from homes and other suitable collection locations where there is safe, practical access for the recovery vehicle. We will confirm access before dispatch.

Can you transport my vehicle to another garage?+

Yes, suitable vehicles can be transported to an agreed workshop or destination. Tell us where the vehicle is and where it needs to go when you call.

How much does vehicle recovery cost?+

Pricing depends on the collection location, destination, distance, vehicle, accessibility and the circumstances of the recovery. Call us with those details and we can confirm the recovery and price.

What information do I need when calling?+

Have the registration, make/model, current location, destination and a brief description of the vehicle condition ready if possible. It also helps to know whether the vehicle rolls, steers and has working brakes.

Do you provide roadside repairs as well?+

Yes. If the vehicle may be repairable where it is, Strive Motors also provides mobile breakdown diagnostics and roadside mechanical assistance. We can help you work out which service is more appropriate.

Which areas do you cover?+

Our public coverage spans the Strive Motors service areas shown on this website. Enter your postcode on this page for an indicative coverage check, then call us because recovery availability still needs to be confirmed for the specific journey.

VEHICLE NEEDS MOVING?

Call Strive Motors and tell us where it is — and where it needs to go.

We'll confirm the vehicle, access, recovery journey and price with you before the recovery is accepted.
