Van Recovery in Greenford
Van broken down, had an accident, or simply won’t start?

Message us on WhatsApp with your location, your van’s make and model, and what’s happened, and we’ll arrange recovery.
What is van recovery?
Van recovery is a vehicle recovery service for vans and other light commercial vehicles that have broken down, been involved in an accident, or otherwise can’t be driven safely. It covers the same underlying recovery need as car recovery, adapted to a van’s size and the fact that many vans are used for work, so getting your vehicle collected with minimal fuss matters for your day as much as your journey home.
When you may need van recovery
Van recovery can help in situations such as:
- Your van has broken down and won’t start or can’t be driven safely
- Your van has been involved in a road traffic accident
- A mechanical or electrical fault has left your van undriveable
- Your work or company van needs recovering with as little disruption as possible
- You’ve bought a van privately or at auction and need it collected
If you’re not sure whether your situation needs van recovery or another of our recovery services, message us on WhatsApp with a description and we’ll advise.
Van recovery vs car recovery
Van recovery covers much the same ground as our 24 Hour Recovery and Breakdown Recovery services, adapted specifically for vans and other light commercial vehicles. If your van has been in a collision, our Accident Recovery service covers the same situation for cars and applies equally to vans. Vans are generally larger than an ordinary car and are often loaded or used for work, so recovering one safely can mean different handling to a typical car recovery. Many of our van recovery customers are sole traders or businesses who need their vehicle back on the road, or safely off it, with minimal disruption. For a planned, non-urgent move rather than a breakdown or accident, our Car Transport service covers that too. If your vehicle is a car, our general recovery services cover that; if it’s a van or light commercial vehicle, this page and its WhatsApp contact route are set up with that specifically in mind.
What happens during van recovery
- You get in touch — message us on WhatsApp with your location, your van’s make and model, and what’s happened.
- We confirm the details — including whether the van can be moved at all and what kind of recovery it needs.
- Van collected and recovered — your vehicle is brought to Unit 17, Fleetway Business Park, Perivale/Greenford (or another agreed destination).
- Inspection or next steps — once your van arrives, we carry out a free vehicle inspection and talk you through the options.
What affects the cost of van recovery
Van recovery and van towing service costs aren’t fixed — they depend on factors including:
- The distance between your van’s location and our workshop
- Your van’s size and type
- Whether the van can be driven onto a transporter or needs specialist recovery as a non-runner
- How accessible the pickup location is
Message us on WhatsApp with your situation and we’ll talk you through the likely cost before arranging anything.
