Unexpected Rescue

Having stopped for what I meant to be a short snooze at 11pm on a motorway, I woke to find that I had fallen asleep with the lights on and was alone with a totally flat battery at 4am in a deserted gas station. Luck was with me however, as a Crouch Recovery van was unbelievably parked nearby. The recovery driver was SO obliging and helpful. He hopped out and had my car started in 2 minutes. I know which company I will call in future! Thank you.

Thanks to Shaun

Thanks to Shaun who recovered our vehicle after a double puncture and wheel damage on a dark Sunday night. He was extremely professional and reassuring - the location was known to him from previous incidents. He took great care to ensure our safety and we cannot thank him enough.

Professional and efficient Service

Follow the leaf spring failing on my motorhome while it was in storage, it was recovered to my proffered garage by Crouch Recovery this morning (via GreenFlag May Day). Booked a couple of days in advance, I received a call around 20mins before arrival and well within the time slot given. The driver Rob, was extremely helpful and loaded/unloaded my motorhome with great care. I'd like to thank Rob for this assistance again.

Always amazing service

As the manager of a busy Main Dealer we deal with recovery agents regularly, I have to say that every interaction with Crouch Recovery is always brilliant, every member of staff I have dealt with have always been professional, efficient and so easy to deal with.
If I was ever unlucky enough to break down I would want to see a Crouch truck coming to save me.
Can't recommend them highly enough

Thank you, Shaun, and the entire team at Crouch, for your outstanding service and support. Your kindness and professionalism made all the difference!

We were unfortunately involved in an accident on the M6, Birmingham, and Kye saved the day! Being only a few cars behind us, he instantly put us at ease, blocking the carriageway to keep us safe, getting the third party insurance details, recovering our badly damaged BMW and then taking us to the nearest hire vehicle place, all off of his own back without question.

Kye is honestly one of the kindest, most genuine people we've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and we are so grateful for his help today. He is an absolute credit to your company. Highly recommend Crouch recovery, for all of your recovery needs! 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Green Flag contacted Crouch Recover when I had a shredded tyre and no spare. It was at 3am and I was on my own. Shaun attended and loaded the car on to the truck. Very professional and polite and I would highly recommend the company.

Shawn was Ace

Shawn came to recover my vehicle last night and he was a great man. The company knew that I had children and arrived in half the time, we really appreciated you.
Shawn was polite, he warmed up the truck for us and engaged all of the family as we drove home. Thank you Shawn at Crouch Recovery.

Reply from Crouch Recovery

Dear Deborah,

Thank you for your feedback regarding the delay you experienced during your journey. We can see this was a relay job, where you were being moved up the country in legs, by multiple breakdown recovery providers, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to face changing arrival times after an already challenging day.

You will appreciate that over the preceding 72 hours, Storm Bert caused severe weather conditions and widespread flooding across the UK, leading to an exceptionally high demand for recovery services. Our team was managing numerous emergencies and prioritising those in immediate danger.

On occasion, we have to dynamically reassign our resources to respond to live situations, which can unfortunately affect previously given estimated arrival times. This is why you were initially informed of a 30-minute arrival, which then changed to 40 minutes as the original driver was reassigned to a life altering incident.

We genuinely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused, but our team had to take this difficult decision based on the fact you were in a service station and ultimately safe, if not tired and frustrated.

While we strive to meet all estimated arrival times, the unprecedented circumstances meant that delays were sometimes unavoidable. Our teams have been working extraordinarily hard over the past few days in very challenging weather. We regret that this impacted your experience with us.

Kind Regards
Crouch Recovery

Breakdown on the Northbound M1.

I would like to recommend and thank Crouch Recovery for the assistance I got when I had a shredded tyre on the M1 on 11th November 2024. It happened on the northbound side near Junction 24. We got into the emergency layby and I called my Green Flag rescue. In the meantime a Highway Officer arrived and said that as I was in the roadworks free recovery was provided. Crouch Recovery was the first truck to arrive. The driver gave me his name as `Dingle` and he quickly changed our wheel and topped up the pressure on our spare and we were ready to move. Dingle called the Highways Control and had them close the inside lane. He then followed us onto the M1 and along to Trowell Services where he checked that we were ok. We got the torque checked on the wheel nuts and I cancelled the Green Flag recovery and we got on our way home to Middlesbrough. Thanks very much to Dingle who was driving truck reg J999TOW and Crouch Recovery we two pensioners are forever grateful. Thank you. Colin Burns, Middlesbrough.

My wife and I were enroute from Fleckney Leics to London for an important Hospital appt in UCHL with our blind son who needed severe arthritis treatment. The engineer (Dave and security dog Spike) arrived 30 mins before predicted time.We had a front tyre blowout and he took us to two local garages until we found one with the correct tyre. He was very reassuring in this fraught situation and remained until satisfied.BRILLIANT
