Ozzy’s Breakdown Recovery truck available for contractor work

Who we work for

Breakdown-cover and assistance providers

Local help when your customers are stuck with cars, motorbikes or vans up to 3.5 tonnes.

Accident-management companies

Damaged vehicles taken to the repairer or bodyshop you name, even if they won’t roll.

Regional recovery networks

Extra local capacity when your own network is busy. Send us the job, then we’ll confirm the price and arrival time straight away.

What we can and can’t do

We recover cars, motorbikes and electric vehicles, as well as vans or light commercials up to 3.5 tonnes. Our tilt-and-slide truck, winch and wheel skates handle non-runners, accident damage and locked wheels. We also do jump starts. However, we don’t recover HGVs or carry out mechanical repairs.

Send us the make, model, actual weight and load, so we can plan the job. Tell us the vehicle’s condition and the access at the pickup too. We’ll confirm it’s suitable before we accept the job.

Area and response

We’re based in Reading, so we cover Berkshire, South Oxfordshire, Hampshire and Surrey. We also cover the M4 and parts of the M3 and the M25 (junctions 12 to 15). See the areas we cover.

Around Reading we typically arrive in about 30–45 minutes. We agree outer areas and any contract response times with you first.

How a job runs

  1. You send the details. Your reference, the driver’s number, the state of the vehicle, the pickup and the drop-off.
  2. We confirm. The arrival time, the price or agreed rate, and any special loading needed.
  3. Our driver attends. We load and secure the vehicle and keep your contact informed.
  4. We deliver. To the agreed destination, with invoice references and any reporting you need.

Get in touch

Call or email to discuss one-off instructions, regular work or a contract. We’ll talk through the areas, what you need from a supplier, rates and payment terms. You can see our insurance and equipment details for your supplier checks.
