Our recovery services
The right help for your vehicle.
From a roadside breakdown to a difficult recovery, we’ll discuss what has happened and help you arrange the right service.
Breakdown recovery
Vehicle broken down at home, at work or on the road? We recover non-running vehicles to your chosen garage, home or another agreed destination.
Breakdown recovery details
Tell us the registration, collection point and destination, what happened and whether the vehicle rolls and steers. We will discuss the recovery options, price and current availability before you book.
Roadside assistance for stranded vehicles, including suitable 12V/24V jump starts and vehicle recovery when needed.
Roadside assistance details
Tell us your exact location, vehicle details and what happens when you try to start or move it. Where a jump start is suitable, we can assist with 12V or 24V systems. When the vehicle needs recovery, we will discuss the loading requirements and your destination.
Broken down at home or on the road? We recover non-running cars to your garage, home or another agreed destination.
Car recovery details
Tell us the registration, pickup point and destination, and whether the car starts, rolls and steers. For low-clearance or damaged vehicles, photographs help us plan the loading.
Recovery for suitable work vans and light commercial vehicles, with the vehicle size, load and access checked before collection.
Van recovery details
Please give us the make and model, wheelbase or approximate length, and whether the van is carrying a load. We check the actual weight, dimensions and recovery requirements before accepting the job.
Recovery for suitable work vans and light commercial vehicles. Tell us the vehicle dimensions, load and destination before collection.
Light commercial vehicle recovery details
Please provide the make and model, wheelbase or approximate length, whether the vehicle is carrying a load, and any height or access restrictions. We check its actual weight, dimensions and condition before accepting the recovery.
Vehicle recovery on the M4 and surrounding motorway routes. Call with your road, direction of travel and nearest junction.
Motorway recovery details
Share the motorway name, carriageway direction, junction or marker information, and the vehicle’s exact position. Follow instructions from the emergency services or road operator. Attendance depends on access and the situation.
Careful recovery after a collision, including damaged vehicles that cannot be driven safely or no longer roll normally.
Accident recovery details
Once the scene is safe, tell us about damage to the wheels, suspension and steering, and where the vehicle needs to go. Clear photographs help us identify any additional equipment needed for loading.
Vehicle stuck in a ditch, on a verge or in soft ground? Send photographs and your location so we can assess the extraction.
Ditch & mud recovery details
Show the whole vehicle, the ground around it and access from the road. Winching depends on the vehicle position, ground conditions and a suitable recovery direction. We assess each difficult-position recovery individually.
Flat battery assistance for suitable cars and vans. If a jump start is not enough, we can discuss recovering the vehicle.
Jump-start service details
Tell us the make and model, battery-system voltage if known, and what happens when you try to start the vehicle. Assistance is subject to a suitable, safe connection. When a jump start is not suitable, we can discuss vehicle recovery instead.
Recovery for motorcycles that have broken down or cannot continue after an incident, with the bike’s condition checked first.
Motorcycle recovery details
Give us the motorcycle make and model, location and destination. Tell us whether it rolls, steers and can be moved, and describe any accident damage or restricted access. We confirm the loading requirements before attendance.
Flatbed recovery for electric vehicles that cannot continue, whether at the roadside, at home or near a charging point.
Electric vehicle recovery details
Tell us the vehicle model, battery or fault message, and whether it can enter its loading or recovery mode. Mention any accident damage or locked wheels so we can assess the appropriate recovery method.

Ozzy’s Breakdown Recovery operates from Reading and provides recovery across the areas shown in our coverage guide. We check the actual pickup, vehicle condition and current availability before agreeing attendance.
Our public coverage includes Berkshire, South Oxfordshire, North Hampshire and South Buckinghamshire, with named motorway and A-road pages for the routes we cover. The exact location and access determine whether a collection is suitable; an area page does not reserve attendance.
We recover cars, suitable vans and light commercial vehicles, motorcycles and electric vehicles. Accident damage, non-rolling wheels, a ditch or difficult access can change the equipment required. Send photographs where safe and practical so we can assess the situation.
For a one-off recovery, send the registration, pickup and destination. We explain the proposed recovery and quote before booking. General mechanical repair, tyre fitting, fuel delivery and lockout services are not offered.
Fleet operators, garages, breakdown providers and other organisations can use our commercial breakdown recovery enquiry form to discuss recurring work across the covered areas.
