Egertons Tredegar

Egertons Tredegar - Wayne and Dean.
We’re so kind, helpful, thoughtful and helpful towards me when I collected my belongings from my car. Which was written off by my insurance company after my recent road accident.
I can’t thank and speak highly of them both. It was quite an upsetting and emotional time for me. They helped me through a difficult period. Many thanks to you both.

Thames Valley Police & Recovery: A Profit Partnership

Our van was taken by Thames Valley Police for investigation after a motorcyclist fell nearby. We were never charged or found at fault, yet the recovery compound demanded a £195 surcharge just to release our vehicle. No update from the police, no explanation—just a hefty fee for something completely outside our control.
Thames Valley Police were extremely difficult to get hold of throughout. Despite repeated attempts, they never confirmed in writing that no charges were applicable, leaving us to deal with the compound’s demands without any formal support or clarity.
This setup feels exploitative—profiting off people caught in police procedures, even when they’ve done nothing wrong. The lack of transparency and compassion is appalling. If your vehicle ends up here, prepare to pay—whether you're guilty or not.

Hi Gia, These are statutory fees which apply, we don't make up these costs.

A review for the Tredegar depot in…

A review for the Tredegar depot in South Wales, Honestly one of the best experiences of help and service i've ever had anywhere. All of the people here were extremely helpful and understanding when i was trying to recover my car from them. They really went above and beyond to help me get the car sorted out and even helped me push it to the carpark and helped to change the dead battery in it. I also left my other car in the car park close by until i could collect it later and one of the lads made sure to keep an eye on it for me (even checking if i was the owner when i came back to collect it) honestly some of the best people you'd ever meet. Special mention to Wayne and Dean who were the main 2 guys who helped me out no end.

Came out to us within 30 minutes

Came out to us within 30 minutes. We were just setting off on our 2 week trip across france to Spain when our coolant pipe split. He managed to get it fixed temporarily until we could get to a garage, which he also helped us find and followed us there to make sure we were safe. Brilliant service.

Flat battery after Festival

I had been at a festival arriving Thursday morning. When I came to start the packed car on Sunday, late morning, to return home the battery was flat. I rang green flag who took my details and said Egertons would contact me letting me know when they would be coming. Within minutes I received a call from a technician asking me which field I was on as he had just finished another call on field 7. I explained where I was and he was there within minutes, got my car started, advised me to drive for at least an hour before stopping and I was off! What a relief!
The technician was a very pleasant, cheerful young man who'd had a very busy morning. Can't recommend Egerton's highly enough

A difficult situation made easy

I used Egertons (via Greenflag) twice for the same breakdown, once to diagnose the fault and the second time to recover the vehicle to a garage for repair. On both occasions Egertons turned up very quickly and each time I had a phone call from their office giving an estimated arrival time that turned out to be completely accurate. The technician who diagnosed the fault was quick, efficient and friendly, as was the man who came with the recovery truck. What could have been a very difficult afternoon after losing all engine power while going round a roundabout turned out to be very straightforward, thanks to the excellent service Egertons provided

Really helpful and good comms

The comms were great, really nice lady on the phone who made me feel much better about being stuck in a car park!

Ben the technician was excellent too, very polite and professional. He got me moving to the layby for a pickup after my car completely died.

Very good experience on a lousy Sunday!

Fast, professional and friendly.

Egerton turned up very quickly, the driver was professional and knowledgeable, he made me feel comfortable and was friendly and personable.
My car was recovered to my home and unloaded to a safe spot as requested, despite the road being tight and access not great.

Completely dead battery

Having had text from Green Flag to let me know time technician would attend I had phone call from Everton’s as their man could be here sooner. Just as well because info they had rec’d was incorrect. Contact undertook to phone GF to clarify which he obviously did so technician was able to get to work straightaway. He was very thouroughly in trying to establish why battery so low and stayed long enough to recharge it.

I had an outstanding experience with Egertons Recovery when my car broke down in Longtown near Carlisle. Their driver arrived in less than 20 minutes, demonstrating remarkable professionalism and efficiency. The driver quickly identified the issue as a battery problem, got my car running again, and even followed me to the garage to ensure I arrived safely. The service was exceptional, and the driver’s dedication and care were truly impressive. I cannot praise Egertons Recovery enough—five stars for their top-notch service!

Absolutely fantastic, speedy pick up.

Absolutely fantastic service. Prompt and speedy, polite and professional. Couldn't have been more made up with the service from these guys. After being stranded on the m56 I had constant welfare checks and updates of the drivers progress in reaching me. Very reassuring considering the motorways when stranded are not the greatest of places to be. Was dropped off at home and the driver who collected me and the car couldn't have been more helpful. Truly a great job from egertons.

Fast service

The technician helped my car out of a very tricky situation however, his breakdown vehicle was not equipped with a functioning jack (I mean, c’mon!!?!?) or anything to tie things with ie. Cables…. Is that cut backs ?

Hello, we will be immediately looking into this, please may you provide additional information so we can track which vehicle this relates to. There are no cut backs, in fact quite the opposite so we will soon rectify this. Thankyou for your review.

Great experience

Great experience, had flat tyre on side of motorway and needed to have it replaced. Used through green flag and they explained they may be able to repair at side of road or tow us to place of safety. Arrived within an hour and replaced tyre at side of the road no problems.
