A breakdown on the M4, a flat battery at a business park, or an accident on the IDR all need a fast local response, and our network dispatches a vetted Reading operator while one company handles your price and the whole job.
Car recovery in Reading FAQs
Can you recover from the M4, the A33 or the IDR in Reading?
Yes. We cover the M4 at Junctions 10 to 12, the A33 relief road, the A329(M) and the IDR round the centre. The M4 here is very busy and incidents queue back into town, so tell us the junction and direction and we will dispatch the nearest operator.
Which Reading roads are worst for breakdowns?
The M4 between Junctions 10 and 12, one of the busiest stretches in Berkshire, plus the A33 and the IDR into the centre, are the main ones. Our operators know them well.
How much does car recovery in Reading cost?
Recovery starts from £90 and jump starts from £70 in Reading. The exact price depends on your vehicle, the distance and the time, and we agree it on the phone before we dispatch, with no call-out fee.
