Recovery Giant — Trust Strip + How It Works
How It Works

From Your First Call to Your Vehicle Recovered — Help in 3 Steps

Recovery Giant is built for the moment you actually need it. No app to download, no membership to remember, no broker to wait for. Here is exactly what happens when you call.

01 Step One

Call or WhatsApp Us with Your Location and Issue

Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — including bank holidays and Christmas. Tell us where you are, what vehicle you are in, and what has happened. No call queue. No holding music. A real Recovery Giant dispatcher answers and gives you a fixed price before we send anyone out.

What to have ready Your postcode or nearest junction · Vehicle make and model · A short description of the issue.
02 Step Two

The Nearest of Our 105 Owned Trucks Is Dispatched Immediately

We do not subcontract your job to an unknown third-party garage. Our control room sees every Recovery Giant vehicle in real time and dispatches the nearest available truck from our 105-vehicle fleet to you — usually within minutes of the call ending.

Our promise Our drivers. Our trucks. Our training. No broker, no subcontractor lottery.
03 Step Three

Your Vehicle Is Safely Recovered to Your Chosen Destination

Your driver arrives, assesses the vehicle, and — where possible — fixes it at the roadside. If recovery is needed, your vehicle is loaded onto our flatbed and transported to your chosen destination: your home, your usual garage, a dealership, or anywhere across the UK.

Peace of mind Fully insured transport — your vehicle is protected from the moment we touch it.

Roadside Assistance — What It Is
The Quick Answer

What Is Roadside Assistance?

In short

Roadside assistance is an on-demand service that comes to your vehicle and fixes common faults on the spot — flat battery, flat tyre, wrong or low fuel, minor electrics or overheating — so you can keep driving. Recovery Giant reaches most UK drivers in under 45 minutes, with no membership; if it can't be fixed there, we recover it.

Roadside Assistance — What We Fix
What We Fix

Flat or dead battery

A jump start or safe battery boost to get you moving.

Flat tyre or puncture

Your spare fitted or the wheel changed at the roadside.

Warning light on

We read the fault and tell you what's next.

Ran out of fuel

Enough emergency fuel to reach the nearest station.

Car won't start

On-the-spot diagnostics to find the fault fast.

Minor electrical fault

Common electrical gremlins traced and sorted.

Overheating

Coolant checked so you can carry on safely.

Can't be fixed here?

It goes straight onto our fully insured flatbed.

Our approach

We fix it first — and recover it if we can't

Most callouts are sorted where you are — a jump start, a wheel change, a quick diagnosis. If it needs more than a roadside fix, the same crew loads it onto a fully insured flatbed straight away — no second call-out, no long wait.

Roadside Assistance — Fixed on the Spot or Recovered
Fix First

Fixed on the Spot — or Recovered if It Can't Be

Roadside assistance and recovery aren't the same thing — and with Recovery Giant you get both, from one call and one crew.

We try to fix it first

Most callouts are sorted right where you are.

A jump start, wheel change or quick diagnosis — often done in minutes.
You avoid a tow, a garage trip and the wait that comes with them.
Fully-equipped technicians carry the kit to fix common faults on the spot.

If it can't be fixed, we recover it

Some faults need more than a roadside repair.

The same truck loads your vehicle onto a fully insured flatbed.
No second phone call and no second crew to wait for.
We take it to your garage, your home, or another safe location.

Is roadside assistance the same as recovery?

Not quite. Roadside assistance fixes the fault where you are so you can keep driving. Recovery loads your vehicle onto a truck and takes it somewhere. With Recovery Giant you get both — we fix first, and recover only if we can't.

Not sure which you need? We'll bring both
One call, one crew — a technician who can fix it on the spot or recover it if needed. No membership.

Stay safe

Staying Safe While You Wait

Help is on the way. Here's how to keep yourself safe until your technician arrives — on any road, day or night.

What should I do while I wait?

1
Pull over as far as you safely canGet onto a hard shoulder, verge or side road if you can, and switch on your hazard lights.
2
Get out on the safe sideWhere it's safe, leave the vehicle on the side away from traffic and stand well back from the road.
3
Make yourself visibleWear a hi-vis vest if you have one, and keep your phone on for your technician's ETA call.

On a motorway or smart motorway?

  • Get everyone out on the left and stand behind the safety barrier, away from the vehicle and traffic.
  • Don't attempt repairs yourself or stand near moving traffic.
  • No hard shoulder? Follow the orange SOS signs to the nearest emergency area if you safely can.
  • If you're in a live lane or in danger, call 999 first — then call us.

A UK motorway — stay behind the barrier while you wait for roadside assistance

What if it's not safe to stay in the car?

If you're on a fast road or feel unsafe, get out on the side away from traffic, stand behind a barrier if there is one, and keep well back. Tell us when you call and we'll prioritise you.

How will I know the technician is close?

We give you an ETA when you call and keep you updated. Your technician will call as they approach, so keep your phone on and to hand.
