When your vehicle breaks down unexpectedly, it can be stressful, frustrating, and even dangerous.

At STC 24hr Recovery Ltd, we’re always just a phone call away, ready to get you and your vehicle safely back on the road or transported to a destination of your choice.
What is Car Recovery?
Car recovery refers to the professional transportation or assistance of a vehicle that has become immobile due to mechanical failure, accident, flat battery, or other unexpected issues. Whether you’re stuck at the side of the M11, on a country lane near Great Dunmow, or in a car park in Bishop’s Stortford, a car recovery service like ours will come to your location promptly and help get you moving again.
We offer a full range of recovery solutions, from roadside assistance to towing services, depending on the nature of your breakdown.

Our 24/7 service ensures that no matter when or where your vehicle breaks down, we’re ready to respond quickly. We understand that time is valuable, especially when you’re stranded on a busy road, far from home, or on your way to an important appointment.
