Cornwall's 24/7 Emergency Recovery Team
Broadside Recovery is a Cornwall-based emergency vehicle recovery service operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We handle non-starters, engine failures, accident recovery, lockouts, fuel issues, dead batteries and vehicle transport from anywhere in the county to anywhere you need to go. Local drivers, local dispatch, local knowledge — without the long waits and call-centre transfers of national breakdown providers.
We're on the A30 most days of the week — from Launceston down through Bodmin, Indian Queens, Carland Cross, Chiverton, Pool, Hayle and into Penzance. The A39 (Atlantic Highway), A38, A390 and the rural lanes of the Lizard, Roseland and West Penwith are all part of our standard coverage. Whether you're a Cornwall local, a tourist with a hire car or a fleet driver, the process is the same: call, share your location, get a clear price, and a driver heads out.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as an emergency breakdown in Cornwall?
Anything that leaves you stranded — engine failure, dead battery, blown clutch, flat tyre, accident damage, or a vehicle that simply won't start. If you can't safely drive, it's an emergency, and we'll dispatch a driver.
How fast can you reach me?
Response time depends on location and time of day. From our Pool base near Redruth we typically reach Truro, Camborne and Hayle within 20–40 minutes, with the wider county covered as fast as roads allow.
Do I need breakdown cover or membership?
No. We work on a pay-as-you-go basis with a clear quote before we dispatch. No AA, RAC or Green Flag membership required.
Do you cover the A30 across Cornwall?
Yes — the A30 is our most-attended road. We cover every junction from Launceston down to Penzance, day and night.
Can you recover larger vans and light trucks?
Yes. Our fleet includes 3.5-tonne and 7.5-tonne recovery vehicles, suitable for cars, vans and light commercial trucks.
