Hero’s without capes !

Last Sunday, my daughter broke down at a roundabout in a nightmare of a place. She’s only 19 and got really upset as was unable to move the car. Unfortunately lots of people were beeping her and getting annoyed rather than understanding she couldn’t do anything. Luckily a very kind gentleman from Crouch came to her rescue. He pulled up behind her to stop traffic and pushed her into a lay-by where she could then wait safely for the recovery to turn up. The Crouch driver didn’t have to do this but went out his way to help and solve this problem. I was so appreciative as I could hear how upset my daughter was.
So I leave this review with lots of thanks ! And for others to see that Crouch team aren’t just about who’s on their call out list they are genuine nice people willing to help.
THANK YOU ❤️

Best birthday ever...

Luckily we've not needed recovering any time yet,, but wouldnt hesitate to use this company. We recently visited the Coalville depot with our son for a birthday treat

We were shown around by Incident Manager Steve Donoghue, and I cannot put into words how fantastic he was. He went above and beyond for our son, Toby, who is a huge fan of recovery trucks and your work on Trucking Hell. Toby has special needs, and experiences like this mean more to him than most people realise — and Steve made it absolutely unforgettable.

He took the time to show Toby around the yard, answered every single one of his questions with patience and enthusiasm, let him see everything up close, and even took him for a drive in one of the trucks. Toby was absolutely beaming the entire time. Steve treated him with such kindness, understanding, and genuine interest, and it meant the world to us as parents to see Toby so happy and included.

We are incredibly grateful that Steve took time out of his day to make this experience so special. It was far more than we ever expected, and we will never forget it. Toby hasn’t stopped talking about him — or the trucks — since! As soon as we got in the car to leave his words were, "I think I'm going to burst, this has got to be a dream its the best birthday ever!"

Thank you again for making a little boy’s dream come true. Please pass on our deepest thanks to Steve. He is an absolute credit to Crouch Recovery

Thankyou so much to the guy who came…

Thankyou so much to the guy who came out to help me after I'd ran out of fuel. He couldn't do enough to help me and against all odds got the airlock out of the system. He wouldn't accept a tip so can't thank him enough

Amazing service
After my pride and joy broke down today and calling my roadside recovery which were useless… Crouch Recovery couldn’t have been more customer friendly, professional, and on scene with me within an hour. My vehicle was treated with respect and care, the driver was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Recovered to my choice of garage.
Amazing service from the first phone call to unloading my vehicle.. would recommend Crouch Recovery every time 5 ⭐️ service

Sean came to our rescue on a cold night. Very skilled in recovering the car from motorway and placing the car on a tight driveway. Sean was very pleasant and professional throughout our whole experience. Highly recommend the service

Great guys

Great guys ! They went above and beyond getting me and my car home safely in the early hours and fixed the following day and I really thought I’d end up with a hefty bill ! It was an only a sensor thankfully, and honest enough to just charge me for the part and recover which wasn’t a lot of money ! Would recommend to anyone and keep there number and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again . Thanks guys

After a terrible experience with RAC…

After a terrible experience with RAC sending recovery vehicles unable to transport my motorhome, we eventually received a Crouch Recovery.
The driver, Lee Macness was wonderful. Very calm and reassuring. After 2 days of stress he reassured us he was able to help. He had a great knowledge of his job and worked thoroughly and methodically.
I travelled with him to the Ford garage. He is a very safe driver.
At the garage he escorted me into reception & explained the procedure.
This is a member of staff worth his weight In Gold.
My overall experience with Crouch has been 10/10 from their call handlers to their recovery driver.

Awful experience!

Left a review last year around November 2024 time as crouch had recovered my scirocco from the M1 didn’t care at all resulting in my front splitter being smashed got passed around with nothing being done one the phone heard someone say “I’ll pay him £10 a week”?!!! Then got told it was passed to their insurance company never heard anything after that now in august of 2025 my number has been blocked by these! With nothing being done about it!

Reply from Crouch Recovery

As previously advised on our earlier review, our records, which include photos taken before any recovery work began, clearly show the front splitter was already substantially damaged.

Our Operations Director actively engaged with you on this issue, sharing these images to clarify the pre-existing damage.

Despite this, we offered a contribution towards its repair / replacement, an offer which you declined.

Insurers agreed with our position, there being very clearly existing substantial damage to the vehicle as substantiated by the photos.

Made a less than ideal situation the best it could be

One word: Shaun! Shaun made this experience, which is less than ideal so much better. What a legend. Calm, funny, kind and very professional. Can’t thank him enough. Nice one Shaun. Even stayed with me whilst I was sorted with the next guy as he wasn’t allowed to take me all my way.
