FLAT BATTERY • PUNCTURE • FUEL • LOCKOUT • CAR WON’T START
Roadside Help for Common Breakdown Problems
Not every vehicle problem requires towing or full recovery. We first assess whether the issue can be dealt with safely at the roadside and whether the vehicle can continue its journey reliably.
Flat Battery & Jump Start Assistance
If your car or van will not start because the battery is discharged, we can provide a roadside jump start where suitable.
If the problem is not simply a flat battery or the vehicle cannot continue reliably after starting, vehicle recovery can be arranged.
Battery Assistance & Replacement
Where a suitable replacement can be sourced and fitted, battery replacement may be available depending on the vehicle, battery specification and current availability.
Tell us the vehicle registration, make and model so the battery requirements can be assessed correctly.
Punctures & Flat Tyres
If a suitable spare wheel or manufacturer-approved alternative is available and the location is safe for roadside work, we can assist with a wheel change.
If tyre, wheel or suspension damage prevents a safe roadside solution, the vehicle can be recovered instead.
Run Out of Fuel
Emergency fuel delivery can be provided in suitable situations if you have run out of petrol or diesel and cannot continue your journey.
Tell us the fuel type, vehicle details and exact location when calling.
Wrong Fuel & Misfuelling
If you have put the wrong fuel into your vehicle, tell us exactly what was added and whether the engine has been started or the vehicle driven.
We can assess the situation and determine whether appropriate roadside assistance or vehicle recovery is required.
Vehicle Lockout Assistance
Locked your keys inside the vehicle or unable to access it? Vehicle lockout assistance can be assessed depending on the vehicle and situation.
More complex key, immobiliser or security-system problems may require a specialist auto locksmith or vehicle recovery.
Basic Roadside Diagnostics
Basic roadside fault assessment can sometimes help identify why a vehicle will not start or why an electrical or warning-light issue has appeared.
BZ Recovery provides roadside assistance and basic roadside fault assessment. Workshop repairs can be supported by recovering the vehicle to your chosen garage.
Car or Van Won’t Start
A non-starting vehicle can have many causes. We can assess common roadside possibilities before deciding whether vehicle recovery is required.
If the vehicle cannot be made safe and reliable to continue, it can be transported to a garage or another agreed destination.
EV Breakdown & Immobilisation
Suitable electric vehicles that are flat, shut down or immobilised can be assessed for the appropriate recovery and loading requirements.
Recovery skates, winches and controlled loading methods can assist with many immobilised EV situations.
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE + VEHICLE RECOVERY
One Call — Whether the Vehicle Can Be Fixed Roadside or Needs Recovering
If we can get you moving safely at the roadside, we will. If we can’t, BZ Recovery can recover the vehicle.
This means you do not need to find another company if what initially looks like a simple flat battery, puncture or non-start turns out to be a more serious breakdown.
ROADSIDE SOLUTION
Get the Vehicle Moving
Where the problem can be dealt with safely and the vehicle is suitable to continue, the aim is to solve the immediate roadside problem without unnecessary transportation.
RECOVERY SOLUTION
Recover the Vehicle
If the vehicle cannot safely continue, we can arrange recovery to your chosen garage, repair centre, dealership, home or another suitable destination.
CARS • VANS • EVs • 4x4s • LIGHT COMMERCIALS

Vehicle type matters when assessing a roadside problem. Tell us exactly what you are driving, including the registration, so the job and any recovery requirements can be assessed properly.
Cars
Roadside assistance for suitable petrol, diesel, hybrid, manual and automatic passenger cars.
Vans & Work Vehicles
Roadside support for suitable vans and light commercial vehicles, with recovery available subject to vehicle and load weight.
Electric & Hybrid Vehicles
EV and hybrid breakdown situations can be assessed, with recovery available where the vehicle is shut down, flat or immobilised.
4x4s & SUVs
Roadside assistance and recovery can be assessed for suitable 4x4s and SUVs based on the actual vehicle, condition and location.
Light Commercial Vehicles
Suitable light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes can be assessed, with actual vehicle and carried load considered if recovery becomes necessary.
