Car that won’t start, roll or move? We can still load it
A seized brake, a snapped cable, a dead engine or a car that’s been standing for months – none of that stops us. Call 07778 348703 and tell us what’s wrong before we set off. Then we’ll bring the winch, skates and straps to get it onto the truck. Our car recovery is built for vehicles that won’t move, so call even if you’re not sure.
We collect non-runners from driveways, garages, car parks and the roadside, then deliver them to a garage, your home or any address you choose.

How we move a car that can’t move itself
Winched on board
The engine doesn’t need to run, because we don’t drive the car on. Instead, we pull the car onto the truck with a winch.
Locked or damaged wheels
Wheel skates let us move a car even if its wheels won’t turn.
Stuck off the road
In mud, on a verge or in a ditch? See our winch-out recovery.
Bought a non-runner?
We can collect a car you’ve bought, then bring it to you or your garage.
Help us plan it
Four quick answers make all the difference: does it roll? Does it steer? Is the handbrake stuck on? And how much room is there around it? A photo on WhatsApp helps too.
If a job needs extra equipment, we’ll tell you and include it in the price before you book. See our starting prices.
Jobs we do every week
Cars that have stood for months
Flat tyres, a dead battery and brakes stuck on. So we bring skates and a winch.
Bought online or at auction
We collect a car you’ve bought and bring it to you or your garage.
Project cars and classics
Going to a workshop, a paint shop or into storage. Loaded slowly and strapped with care.
No keys, or stuck in park
We can usually still move it on wheel skates. Tell us before we come out.
Driveways, garages and car parks
Most non-runners aren’t at the roadside. Instead, they’re at the back of a drive, in a lock-up or in an underground car park. Tell us about the width, the slope and any height limit, as well as what’s parked around the car. If the truck can’t get right up to it, the winch does the last part.
Non-runner recovery in Reading and across Berkshire
We collect non-running cars across Reading, Wokingham, Bracknell, Newbury, Maidenhead and Wallingford. See all the areas we cover.
Non-runner car recovery questions
Can you recover a car with a seized brake or locked wheel?
Yes, we put skates under the wheels that won’t turn and winch the car onto the truck.
Do difficult loads cost more?
Sometimes. If we need extra equipment, we’ll explain why and include it in the price before you book.
Can you collect from a tight driveway or garage?
Usually. Tell us about the width, the slope and what’s parked nearby, then we’ll tell you honestly what we can do.
Can you move a car with no keys?
Usually, yes: with the steering locked or the gearbox stuck in park, we put skates under the wheels. Tell us in advance, and be ready to show that the car is yours when we arrive.
How much does non-runner recovery cost?
Call-out prices start from £75 for a small hatchback. Distance and any extra equipment add to that, and we tell you the full price before you book.
Can you collect a car I’ve bought from a seller’s address?
Yes, give us the seller’s address, a contact number and where the car is going.
