What happens
What you can expect
- 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.
- 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.
- 03
Wherever it needs to go

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.
