    100% perfect recovery

    Posted 13 June

    Absolutely the 4th emergency service by far. The only recovery firm I will use. From first call for help. To update on cost, Eta and arrival when Jay says he will be there. Everything was so reassuring, on time. Cost, professionalism. Duty of care, and safe delivery to destination. Absolutely a 10/10. Highly recommended to everyone. Thankyou!

    Richardson Recovery Service - Excellent

    Posted 29 May

    I picked Richardsons Recovery Service at random, but so glad I did. From the start Jay was very helpful in recovering a vehicle that was not straight forward and required liaison with several people. When collected took several photos of the vehicle and arranged a collection location. Price very reasonable so I would definitely recommend them and I would use them again.

    Fast ,professional and freindly

    Posted 25 April

    I was completely locked out of my car , I called Richardsons recovery and they literally got to me within 5 minutes, Jay who attended was knowledgeable and freindly and put me at ease that he would get this sorted for me ,which he did ,within a few minutes he managed to get the car open and found that my car battery was the problem ,I definitely needed a new battery ,he jump started the car to enable me to get the car to a place to get a new battery fitted , he directed me to a place that fitted batteries and even followed to make sure I got there safely .I would highly reccomend
