Accident Recovery – A to B Transport

Swindon’s Trusted Post-Accident Recovery Specialists

A to B Transport & Recovery provides a fully managed accident recovery service covering Swindon, Wiltshire, and the surrounding counties — including the M4 corridor, A419, A346, and all major A-roads in the region. We are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including bank holidays.

Unlike national breakdown clubs, we are a local Swindon company — which means faster response times, direct communication, and a service that genuinely goes the extra mile. We do not outsource your recovery to a third-party contractor: our own team and vehicles attend every job.

How Our Accident Recovery Service Works

A road traffic accident (RTA) sets off a chain of events — police reports, insurer notifications, vehicle assessments, and repair authorisations. We take ownership of all of it, so you can focus on yourself and your passengers.

1

Immediate Scene Response

We dispatch our recovery vehicle immediately. Our team secures the scene, makes your vehicle safe, and ensures you and any passengers are looked after — including arranging onward transport if required.

2

Secure Compound Storage

Your vehicle is transported to our secure, CCTV-monitored storage compound in Swindon. It stays protected from further damage and weather exposure throughout the claims process.

3

Insurance Liaison — We Do It All

We contact your insurer on your behalf, notify them of the incident, and deal with their appointed loss adjusters and engineers directly. We bill them for recovery and storage — you do not pay upfront.

4

Repair or Disposal

Once your insurer approves the next steps, we coordinate repairs through M&B Auto Centre (our sister company, same address) or arrange lawful disposal of the vehicle if it is written off.

Zero Stress Promise

If the accident was not your fault, we provide this complete service — including a courtesy vehicle in many cases — at no direct cost to you. We recover our fees from the at-fault party’s insurer.

Why Choose a Local Swindon Recovery Company?

National breakdown clubs use contractor networks. We use our own vehicles and our own team — every time.

Faster Response

We are based in Swindon — not a regional dispatch hub miles away. Local knowledge means we find you faster and know the quickest routes to our compound.

One Point of Contact

You speak to us directly. No call centres, no hold music, no being transferred between departments. One number, one team, from recovery to resolution.

Full End-to-End Service

Recovery, storage, insurance liaison, and repairs — all under one roof. We do not hand you off to a third party and leave you to manage the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about accident recovery, insurance, and our service.

In most non-fault cases, no. We bill your insurer directly for recovery and storage costs. If the third party’s insurer accepts liability, the cost is recovered from them — not from you. We will talk you through your specific situation when you call.

Yes. While we are based in Swindon and cover Wiltshire as our primary area, we operate nationwide and can recover vehicles from anywhere in England and Wales. Long-distance recoveries are quoted individually — call us to discuss.

Your vehicle is held at our secure compound in Swindon. It is protected from the elements and further damage while loss adjusters, engineers, and insurers complete their assessments. We manage the storage period and liaise with all parties on your behalf.

Yes. We work with all major UK insurers and their appointed assessors and loss adjusters. Once you provide your policy number, we handle the rest of the communication.

Absolutely. Through our sister company M&B Auto Centre — located at the same address on Chapel Street, Swindon — we can arrange all mechanical and bodywork repairs once your insurer has approved the work. One call gets everything moving.

Make the area as safe as possible: switch on hazard lights, move away from traffic if it is safe, and do not admit liability. Take photos of the scene and exchange details with any other drivers. Then call us on 01793 612600 and we will take it from there. If anyone is injured, always call 999 first.
