Who We Are
Tow Recovery has run a towing service from Reading for more than thirteen years. We began with one truck and a mobile number. Today we operate a full recovery fleet across Berkshire.
Our base sits at 17 Shirley Avenue in RG2. That location matters. It puts our drivers minutes from the A33, the Inner Distribution Road and the M4.
Every driver is trained, insured and employed directly by us. No job is handed to a stranger. When you ring, you speak to the team that will actually arrive.
We are not a national aggregator with a Reading landing page. We are a local towing service, with a local base and local drivers.

24/7 Emergency Towing and Roadside Assistance
Breakdowns ignore office hours. Our 24/7 tow recovery team answers every call, through the night and across weekends. Bank holidays are covered in full. Winter mornings and Friday nights are our busiest windows. We staff both properly, so the phone is answered fast. A towing service is only useful when somebody picks up.
Roadside assistance comes first wherever it can. Many faults are fixed on the spot, which saves you a tow entirely. Should the vehicle be unsafe to drive, we load it and go. Our fast breakdown recovery service is built around exactly that decision.
What Our Towing Service Covers
Every job is handled by our own drivers, never a subcontractor. Our trucks carry the equipment each vehicle type needs.

Getting help stays simple, even when you feel shaken.
Ring 07437579962 with your location and vehicle details.

We take it to your garage, your home or anywhere you choose.
Towing Service Cost in Reading
Price is the first thing most drivers ask about. You receive a fixed quote on the phone, before we travel. Nothing is added afterwards.
- Distance between your location and the drop-off point
- Vehicle type and weight, from a small hatchback to a 7.5-tonne van
- Whether winching or specialist recovery equipment is required
- Time of day, although we apply no night or weekend surcharge
Around Reading, local operators typically start near £50 for a short tow. Longer motorway jobs cost more. Beware a cheap towing service that quotes vaguely, then adds charges later. Always ask for the total before you agree to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our approachable team is available 24/7. Call us anytime, and we’ll be happy to answer all your questions.
A towing recovery service moves a vehicle that cannot be driven safely. A recovery truck lifts or winches the vehicle, then transports it to a garage, home or storage. The service covers breakdowns, accidents, flat batteries and misfuels. Ours also includes roadside repairs where a tow can be avoided.
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Nights, weekends and bank holidays are all covered at the same rate. Our phone line is answered by our own team, not an outsourced call centre. Ring 07437579962 at any hour.
Cost depends on distance, vehicle weight and the equipment needed. Local operators around Reading typically start near £50 for a short tow. We quote a fixed total on the phone before travelling, and we add nothing afterwards. No night or weekend surcharge applies.
If you are in Reading or anywhere in Berkshire, yes. We also travel out towards Newbury and Oxford when a job requires it. Our towing service reaches most Berkshire postcodes quickly. Give us your postcode or the nearest junction, and we will confirm an arrival time.
A single local recovery, booked directly with an independent operator, is usually cheapest. Membership schemes cost more over a year unless you break down often. Avoid aggregator sites, which pass your job on and add a margin. Booking directly also gets a truck to you sooner.
Most Reading callouts are reached within fifteen to thirty minutes. Traffic, weather and your exact location all affect that window. Motorway and live-lane jobs are prioritised for safety reasons. We give you a realistic arrival time on the call, not an optimistic one.
