I can’t thank will from 1st Rescue & Recovery enough. After a very stressful breakdown early this morning, he arrived with a friendly smile, put me at ease straight away, and was incredibly professional throughout.
What really stood out was his kindness. He didn’t have to take me all the way home and could have left me at the services, but instead he went above and beyond to make sure I got home safely with my car. That meant more than he probably realises.
He was courteous, reassuring, and a genuine credit to 1st Rescue & Recovery. It’s not often you come across someone who cares so much about helping people, especially when they’re having a difficult day.
Thank you again, will. You turned what had been a horrible morning into a much better one. You’re an absolute credit to your company.

1st Rescue was sent out when I contacted The AA for roadside assistance. They called shortly after I submitted the request and gave me an accurate window for their arrival, which was in an hour's time. They were prompt and diagnosed the problem for me to get sorted at a local garage. Very knowledgeable and helpful.
Great service
Great service, offered to do more than was required. Would recommend.
Fast and efficient service
Fast, efficient, friendly service. Thank you Dave for your patience and taking the time to explain the issue. I also liked the fact that I was fully updated throughout the recovery process and even received a call to ask if the recovery person had arrived! I’ll use this company for my dad now when his is up for renewal!
Great job by Brits
We were stuck 50 miles from home after a funeral … the car refused to start. RAC guy came and decided the car had to be transported home on a low loader.
They passed the job to 1st Recovery who sent an angel (Brits) to save us! She had the car on her truck in minutes and delivered it (and us) home. She’s a genius, strongly recommended

Driver abs technician Nick was helpful and friendly, made the bad situation better and put me at ease. There was some delay with the arrival but I don’t know if that was due to autoaid or the previous breakdown.

A repeat visit from the gentleman whom supported our call. Friendly approachable and full of guidance. Worked quickly whilst safely. Pleasant and helpful.
The app is useless
The app is useless. It doesn't give you any idea of when people are coming. It's just there to show how late people are. The only thing this is good for is to report a breakdown. I'm not having the excuse that there are people in more risk than I am when it comes to having to wait 3 hours for somebody to fix my van. It's to do with not having enough people out there being able to help
Amazing service
The pressure in my tyre started to go after I got out of the garage following a service and new tyre. I pulled into petrol station to pump it up but no avail. I contacted AA who arranged for 1st rescue and recovery to come and Britt came to my rescue. What an amazing woman.. I was completely in awe. She sorted the problem in a professional and caring manner and I’ll be forever grateful. We don’t appreciate the work that rescue teams do when our cars are fine but last night I really did; sitting in the car in the dark can be a vulnerable place. Britt you are amazing and a credit to the industry. Thank you x
Amazing!
Amazing thank you to the driver who arrived within 30 mins and recovered me back, he was very friendly and respectful.

Great recovery and the chap was very courteous. Thanks
Recovered my broken down car
