Cars of every kind
Every car we recover travels on a flatbed with all four wheels off the road. That protects the gearbox, the bodywork and the tyres, which matters just as much for a ten-year-old hatchback as it does for a luxury saloon.
We recover cars from the roadside, driveways, car parks, garages and storage. Tell us the make and model, whether it rolls and steers, and where it needs to go. We’ll confirm the price before we set off and keep you updated until it’s delivered.
Why flatbed recovery
How we look after your car from collection to drop-off.
No wear on the gearbox or tyres while your car is moved.
Straps go over the tyres, not the bodywork or suspension.
Splitters, skirts and low exhausts are planned for before loading.
EVs and many automatics shouldn’t be towed on their wheels. A flatbed avoids that.
We look over the car with you at collection and delivery.
Home, garage, dealer, body shop or storage.

Tell us the car, where it is and where it’s going. We’ll confirm the price and get moving.

Car recovery jobs
Real Safari car recoveries across London and Essex.
Electric and automatic cars
Many automatic, four-wheel-drive, hybrid and electric cars can be damaged if they’re towed with their driven wheels on the road. Manufacturers often say they should only be moved with all wheels off the ground.
Our flatbed recovery avoids that problem completely. If your car has an electronic parking brake that won’t release, or is stuck in Park, tell us when you call and we’ll plan how to load it safely.
