Car Recovery Services
Car recovery services from Auto X Limited run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across Slough, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and West London. Whether you have broken down, been in an accident, have a flat battery or simply need a car moved from A to B, one call gets a local recovery truck on its way to you.
We are a family-run team based at Twin Trees Farm, Rowley Lane, Wexham Street, Slough SL3 6PB. Being local means we know the roads, we reach most of Slough quickly and we give you a clear price before we set off. No membership, no call centre and no hidden extras.
Car recovery services in Slough you can rely on
When your car stops, you want three things: someone who answers the phone, a fair price and a truck that turns up. That is what our car recovery services are built around. You speak directly to the people who do the recovery, not a national helpline that passes your job on to whoever is free.
Our Wexham base sits between the M4, the M40 and the M25, so we can reach Slough town centre, Langley, Iver, Stoke Poges, Farnham Common, Burnham, Windsor, Eton and Datchet without a long drive. We also cover Heathrow, West London and North Surrey, and we take on longer journeys across the UK by arrangement.
Every job is different, so we always ask a few quick questions first. That way we send the right truck with the right equipment, and you know exactly what will happen and what it will cost.
Our car recovery services at a glance
We offer a full range of recovery and roadside services from one local team. Each one has its own page with more detail:
- Breakdown recovery: roadside help and towing when your car will not go
- Accident car recovery: safe removal of damaged vehicles after a collision
- Jump start service: fast help for flat batteries at home, work or the roadside
- Vehicle transportation: planned moves for purchases, garages, auctions and non-runners
- 24/7 mobile tyre fitting: new tyres fitted where you are
- Puncture repair: safe repairs to British Standard where the damage allows
If you are not sure which service you need, just tell us what has happened and we will work it out with you.
24 hour towing and emergency recovery in Wexham and SL3
Because our base is on Rowley Lane, Wexham Street, we are often the closest 24 hour tow truck in Slough for drivers in SL1, SL2 and SL3. If you need emergency towing in SL3, emergency breakdown help near Wexham Street or 24 hour car recovery in Wexham, we can usually be with you quickly, day or night.
We also help drivers near Wexham Park Hospital, Stoke Poges, George Green and Langley, and we offer emergency roadside assistance in Iver, Richings Park and along the A412. Our 24 hour towing service in Wexham runs every day of the year, including bank holidays.
Breakdown recovery, day and night
Breakdowns rarely happen at a good time. Dead engines, warning lights, overheating, snapped belts, clutch failure and electrical faults all leave drivers stuck. Our breakdown recovery covers the roadside, driveways, car parks and workplaces.
Where a quick fix is possible, such as a flat battery or a flat tyre, we will try to get you moving again on the spot. Where it is not, we load your car onto our flatbed and take it to your garage, your home or another address of your choice. Read more on our breakdown recovery in Slough page.
Accident recovery after a collision
After an accident, your first priority is everyone’s safety. Once the police or emergency services are happy, we can clear your vehicle from the scene and take it somewhere secure. We handle damaged cars with care to avoid making things worse, and we can deliver them to a body shop, your home or a storage site.
We are happy to follow your insurer’s instructions, and we will always tell you exactly where your vehicle has gone. Our accident car recovery page explains the process step by step.
Car battery jump start service
A flat battery is one of the most common reasons drivers need help, especially in winter or after a car has been left standing. Our car battery jump start service uses professional equipment that is safe for modern cars with sensitive electronics.
Got a flat battery on Rowley Lane, in Wexham or anywhere in Slough? Call or WhatsApp us and we will come to your home, workplace or the roadside. Once the engine is running, we will give you simple advice on how long to drive and whether the battery is likely to need replacing. If the car still will not start, we can recover it to a garage instead. See our jump start service page for more.
Car transport and planned vehicle moves
Not every job is an emergency. Our car recovery services also cover planned car transport services across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, London and the rest of the UK, such as collecting a car you have bought, taking a vehicle to a garage for repairs, delivering a car to a buyer or moving a non-runner from a driveway.
Planned moves can be booked for a time that suits you, and we will agree the price in advance. Visit our vehicle transportation services page for details.
Flat tyre repair and roadside assistance
A flat tyre does not always mean a tow. If you need emergency roadside assistance for a flat tyre in Slough, our team can often repair the puncture or fit a new tyre at the roadside, at home or at work, so you can carry on with your day. All tyres we supply are new, and we will check your tyre size when you get in touch.
Flat tyre repair in Slough is only possible if the damage is in the repairable area of the tread. Find out more on our 24/7 mobile tyre fitting and puncture repair pages, or browse budget tyres in Slough online.

- 24/7 car recovery in Slough
- Car recovery in West London
- Towing service in Heathrow

We also regularly help drivers in Langley, Iver, Colnbrook, Wexham, Stoke Poges, Farnham Royal, Burnham, Taplow, Maidenhead, Windsor, Eton, Datchet, Uxbridge, West Drayton and Hayes. See all the locations we cover.
Emergency car recovery across Berkshire
Our emergency car recovery covers the whole of East Berkshire and South Buckinghamshire, including Slough, Windsor, Maidenhead, Bracknell, Ascot and Reading, plus the M4, M40 and M25. Whether you have broken down, had a collision or simply need roadside assistance, we will give you an honest arrival time when you call.
People often ask who provides the fastest roadside assistance in Slough. Response times depend on traffic and where you are, but our local base means we are close to most of the town, and we always tell you a realistic arrival time rather than an optimistic guess.
Motorway recovery on the M4, M40 and M25
Breaking down on a motorway is stressful and can be dangerous. If you can, leave at the next exit or pull onto the hard shoulder or an emergency area. Switch on your hazard lights, get out on the side away from traffic and wait behind the barrier if it is safe to do so.
On smart motorways without a hard shoulder, call National Highways on 0300 123 5000 if you are stuck in a live lane, or 999 if you are in danger. Once you are safe, call us with your nearest junction or marker post and we will arrange recovery. The official GOV.UK smart motorway guidance has more safety advice.
Vehicles we can recover
We recover family cars, hatchbacks, estates, saloons, SUVs, 4x4s, small vans and company vehicles. Many automatics, four-wheel-drive cars, electric cars and hybrids should be moved with all wheels off the ground, and our flatbed lifts the whole vehicle clear of the road. That makes us a safe choice for emergency roadside assistance for electric cars in Slough, as we never tow an EV on its driving wheels.
Need car recovery for a van, or 24/7 towing for a motorbike? Tell us the make, model and anything unusual, such as low suspension, a locked steering wheel or missing keys. We will confirm we have the right equipment before we set off, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Where we can take your vehicle
- Your own garage or main dealer
- Your home address, so you can arrange repairs in your own time
- A body shop or repair centre chosen by you or your insurer
- A buyer, seller or auction house
- A scrapyard or authorised treatment facility
- Anywhere else in the UK by arrangement
If you do not have a garage in mind, we can suggest local options in Slough. You are always free to choose where your vehicle goes.
How much do car recovery services cost in Slough in 2026?
The cost of car recovery depends on a few things: the distance to your vehicle, where it needs to go, the type of vehicle and the time of day. A short tow across Slough will cost far less than a long-distance move, for example. The same applies if you are asking how much a tow truck costs in Slough in 2026: it depends on the job, so we price each one individually.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all price, we give you a clear, fixed price before we set off. What we quote is what you pay. We accept credit and debit cards as well as other payment methods. Call or WhatsApp us with your location and destination for a quick quote today.
Cheap towing near you, without cutting corners
Searching for a cheap towing service near me usually means you want a fair price, not a poor service. As a local, family-run recovery firm, we keep our costs low and pass that on. That is why many drivers see us as a good value option for cheap car recovery in Slough.
Low prices never mean cutting corners. Every vehicle is loaded and strapped down properly, and you get a fixed price before we start. If you are looking for a towing service near you in Slough, Windsor, Langley or Iver, call us first for a quote.
Car recovery services without membership
Many drivers do not have breakdown cover, or find out their policy does not include home start or recovery to their chosen garage. You do not need to be a member to use our car recovery services. You pay only for the job you need, when you need it.
Even if you do have cover, it is worth calling us if you are facing a long wait. A local recovery firm is often able to reach you much faster than a national provider on a busy night.
Staying safe while you wait
- Switch on your hazard lights and, at night, your sidelights
- Get yourself and your passengers out on the side away from traffic if it is safe
- Wait behind a barrier or well away from the road
- Wear a hi-vis vest if you have one
- Do not try to repair the car in a live lane
- Keep your phone charged and stay in touch with us
We want every driver to feel safe, including women alone at night. If you are on your own, tell us when you get in touch. We will keep in contact by phone or WhatsApp until we arrive, tell you who is coming and what truck to look out for. If you ever feel in danger, dial 999.
What to tell us when you call
A few details help us get to you faster and send the right equipment:
- Your exact location, a postcode, a what3words address or a WhatsApp location pin
- The make, model and colour of the vehicle
- What has happened and any warning lights
- Whether the car is in a safe place or blocking a road
- Where you would like the vehicle taken
If you are unsure of your location, sharing a pin on WhatsApp is the quickest way for us to find you.
Car recovery services for businesses and garages
We help local garages, dealers, body shops and fleet operators move vehicles across Slough and beyond. Whether it is a customer car that needs collecting, a van that has failed on a job or a vehicle that needs to go to a specialist, we can fit around your working day.
Talk to us about regular work and we will make booking quick and easy for your team.
Non-runners, SORN cars and auction collections
Buying a project car, clearing a driveway or selling a vehicle that does not run? We regularly move non-runners, SORN vehicles and cars with no MOT. As long as the wheels turn and the vehicle can be safely winched, we can usually move it.
Tell us about flat tyres, seized brakes or missing keys in advance, and we will plan the collection accordingly. We can also collect from auctions and dealers across the South East.
Car recovery services in bad weather
Winter is our busiest time of year. Cold mornings flatten tired batteries, heavy rain floods low roads and icy lanes around Wexham and Stoke Poges catch drivers out. Our car recovery services keep running in all weathers, and we prioritise anyone stranded in an unsafe spot.
In hot weather, overheating and tyre blowouts become more common, particularly in queues on the M4 and M25. Whatever the season, keep water, a warm layer, a phone charger and a hi-vis vest in the car. If you are stuck, call us and we will get to you as quickly and safely as conditions allow.
Towing and vehicle recovery done properly
Towing a car with a rope or a towing pole can be risky, and it is not suitable for automatics, electric cars or vehicles with brake or steering problems. Professional car recovery services use the right equipment to lift and secure your vehicle so it arrives without extra damage.
Our crew straps every vehicle down securely, checks the load before setting off and drives with care. It is a small detail, but it is the difference between a smooth recovery and a bigger repair bill.
Why choose a local car recovery company?
National breakdown services do a good job, but on busy nights you can wait hours for a truck. A local team like ours is already nearby, knows the area and answers the phone personally. You get honest advice, a fixed price and a crew that treats your vehicle with care.
We are proud of our reputation with Slough drivers. You can read our customer reviews and get directions on our Google Business Profile.
