Motorbike recovery, done with care

Breakdown, puncture, a bike that won't fire up or one that's been dropped: we'll get it secured properly and take it home, to your garage or to a dealer, with the price agreed before we set off.

Call us when

  • A breakdown or puncture out on the road
  • A bike that won't start, at home or at work
  • A drop or low-speed spill where it isn't safe to ride on
  • Taking a non-runner to a garage or dealer

What happens

What you can expect

  1. 01

    Secured properly

    Bikes need different handling from cars. We secure yours carefully and protect its paintwork and controls, so it arrives exactly as it left.

  2. 02

    Batteries too

    Plenty of bikes that won't start just need a jump or a new battery. We can test and replace motorbike batteries where the bike is.

  3. 03

    Wherever it needs to go

    Home, your garage or a dealer. Tell us where when you call, and it's included in the price we agree upfront.

Questions

Motorbike recovery: your questions

Can you recover a bike that's been dropped?

Yes, as long as it's safe to do so. If you've come off, make sure you're OK and get checked over first. Call 999 if anyone is hurt. We'll look after the bike.

Do you do motorbike batteries?

Yes. We can jump start a bike, test its battery and charging, and supply and fit a new battery where it is.

How much does motorbike recovery cost?

The same published rates as car recovery: a call-out charge plus a rate per mile from collection to drop-off, with daytime and night rates. We confirm the total before we set off.
