When your vehicle stops unexpectedly, your first priority should be keeping yourself and your passengers safe.
Once you are in a safe position, our recovery team can help deal with the vehicle.
We recover cars, vans and other suitable light vehicles using appropriate recovery equipment.
What Happens When You Call Easy Road Recovery?
Being stranded is stressful enough.
Getting recovery assistance should not make things more complicated.
Here is what to expect when you contact us.
1. Tell Us Where You Are
Give us your postcode, road name, nearby landmark or another clear description of your location.
If you are on a motorway, tell us the motorway, junction number and direction of travel if you can do so safely.
2. Explain What Happened
Tell us what you noticed before the vehicle stopped.
It could be a flat battery, puncture, warning light, engine problem, accident damage or something you cannot identify.
You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself.
3. Tell Us About Your Vehicle
We may ask for the make, model and type of vehicle.
This helps us understand what recovery equipment may be required.
4. Discuss Your Recovery Options
Depending on the problem and your location, we can discuss the available roadside or recovery options with you.
5. Arrange Recovery
If the vehicle cannot continue safely, recovery can be arranged to an agreed garage, home address, or another suitable destination.
What Type of Breakdown Assistance Do You Need?
Not every vehicle problem needs the same solution.
Some problems may be dealt with at the roadside, while others require the vehicle to be transported.
Roadside Assistance
A flat battery, puncture, or lack of fuel may sometimes be resolved without transporting the vehicle.
Depending on the situation, our roadside assistance can include:
- Battery jump starts
- Flat tyre assistance
- Emergency fuel delivery
- Assistance with non-starting vehicles
If the problem cannot be safely resolved at the roadside, vehicle recovery can be arranged.
Car Recovery Birmingham
If your car cannot be driven safely, we can transport it to an agreed destination.
This could be your home, a local garage, or another suitable location.
Our car recovery in Birmingham service is available for breakdowns, accident-damaged vehicles and cars that simply will not start.
Van Recovery Birmingham
A broken-down van can quickly interrupt your working day.
We provide recovery for suitable light commercial vans across Birmingham and surrounding areas.
If your work van cannot continue, tell us the vehicle type, location, and problem when you call so we can discuss the appropriate recovery option.
Accident Recovery
A collision can leave your vehicle unsafe or impossible to drive.
Do not continue driving a badly damaged vehicle simply to get it home or to a garage.
Our accident recovery service can help transport the vehicle safely.
When you call, tell us about any visible damage and whether the vehicle can move.
This helps us understand what type of recovery equipment may be required.
Motorway Breakdown Recovery Around Birmingham
Breaking down on a motorway can be particularly stressful because of the speed and volume of surrounding traffic.
Easy Road Recovery provides breakdown and vehicle recovery assistance on major routes around Birmingham, including the M5, M6 and M42, as well as routes such as the A38.
If you break down on or near a motorway, give us as much location information as you safely can.
Useful details include:
- Motorway or road number
- Junction number
- Direction of travel
- Nearby signs or landmarks
- Marker information
- Vehicle make and model
Never put yourself at risk trying to find location information.
If your vehicle is stopped in a live traffic lane or there is an immediate danger, prioritise your safety and contact the emergency services.
Vehicle Towing and Transportation
Sometimes there is no roadside fault to repair.
You may simply need a vehicle moved safely from one place to another.
Easy Road Recovery provides vehicle towing and transportation following breakdowns, accidents, and other situations where a vehicle cannot or should not be driven.
Tell us where the vehicle is and where you would like it taken when you call.
Local Recovery Across Birmingham and Nearby Areas
You could break down outside your home, in Birmingham city centre, on your way to work or while travelling out of the city.
Easy Road Recovery covers Birmingham and surrounding parts of the West Midlands.
Our knowledge of local roads and major routes helps us plan recovery based on your location.
If you are unsure whether we cover your area, call 0333 772 4098.
Give us your postcode, road name or nearest landmark, and we can discuss the available options.
How Much Does Vehicle Recovery Cost in Birmingham?
One of the first questions drivers often have is how much recovery will cost.
There is no single price that applies to every breakdown.
The cost can depend on factors such as:
- Your location
- Type and size of vehicle
- Vehicle condition
- Type of breakdown
- Distance the vehicle needs to be transported
- Recovery equipment required
A straightforward local car recovery may have different requirements from recovering an accident-damaged vehicle or transporting a van over a longer distance.
Call 0333 772 4098 with your location and vehicle details so we can discuss your recovery requirements and available options.
How Quickly Can Recovery Arrive?
When you are stranded, you naturally want to know how long you will be waiting.
Recovery times can vary depending on your location, traffic conditions, road closures and how busy the roads are at the time.
Providing an accurate location when you call helps us understand where you are and discuss the expected response.
If you are unsure of your exact location, look for a nearby road name, postcode, landmark, junction or motorway marker if it is safe to do so.
Looking for Vehicle Recovery Near Me?
If you are searching for vehicle recovery near me, you probably want help without spending time comparing dozens of companies.
Having the right information ready can make the conversation easier.
If possible, tell us:
- Your exact location or nearest landmark
- Road or motorway you are on
- Direction of travel
- Vehicle make and model
- Problem you are experiencing
- Whether the vehicle can still move
- Where you would like the vehicle taken
Do not worry if you cannot answer everything.
Tell us what you know, and we can take it from there.
What To Do While Waiting for Vehicle Recovery
Your safety comes before your vehicle.
Do not put yourself at further risk trying to repair a serious fault beside moving traffic.
If possible and safe to do so:
- Move the vehicle to a safe location.
- Switch on your hazard warning lights.
- Keep yourself and passengers away from moving traffic.
- Do not attempt repairs in a dangerous position.
- Keep your phone available in case the recovery team needs to contact you.
- If there is an immediate danger, contact the emergency services.
The safest action will depend on where the vehicle has stopped, particularly on motorways and other high-speed roads.
