About RecoBuddy
Vehicle recovery and transport made simple
RecoBuddy was created to make vehicle recovery and transport easier, clearer and more accessible across the UK.
Whether you have broken down, need a vehicle transported, bought a car from auction, run a dealership, operate a garage or work as a recovery provider, RecoBuddy gives people and businesses a simpler way to connect.
We are not a traditional recovery company.
RecoBuddy is a marketplace platform that connects customers and businesses with independent recovery and vehicle transport providers.
Our goal is simple: to make arranging vehicle movement faster, more transparent and easier to manage.
Why RecoBuddy Exists
Arranging recovery or vehicle transport can be stressful.
People often have to search online, call several companies, wait for prices, explain the same job repeatedly and hope they have chosen the right provider.
For businesses, the process can be even more time-consuming. Dealers, traders, garages, bodyshops and auction buyers often need vehicles moved regularly, but arranging transport can involve too much chasing, too many phone calls and not enough visibility.
RecoBuddy was built to solve that problem.
Instead of calling around, users can post a job, receive quotes, choose a provider and manage the booking through the app.
What RecoBuddy Does
RecoBuddy helps users and businesses arrange:
• Breakdown recovery
• Vehicle transport
• Non-runner transport
• Auction vehicle collection
• Dealer-to-dealer vehicle movements
• Garage collections and deliveries
• Bodyshop transport
• Customer vehicle deliveries
• Fleet vehicle movements
• Long-distance vehicle transport
The platform is designed to make the whole process clearer from start to finish.
How It Works
1. Post a Job
Users add the vehicle details, pickup location, drop-off location and any important notes.
2. Receive Quotes
Available recovery and transport providers can review the job and submit quotes.
3. Choose a Provider
Users compare quotes and choose the provider that best suits their needs.
4. Manage the Booking
Once a quote is accepted, users can keep job details, messages and updates in one place.
5. Track Progress
Where available, users can follow the job through the app for extra peace of mind.

Our Mission
Our mission is to make vehicle recovery and transport easier for everyone involved.

A Marketplace, Not a Transport Company
It is important to understand how RecoBuddy works.
RecoBuddy does not usually carry out vehicle recovery or transport directly.
Instead, RecoBuddy connects users and businesses with independent recovery and transport providers who operate through the platform.
The provider selected by the user is responsible for carrying out the recovery or transport service.
RecoBuddy provides the technology, job posting system, quote tools, booking management features, payment support and communication tools.
