Baba Vehicle Recovery coordinates roadside breakdown recovery, non-starting vehicle collection, puncture recovery and garage transport across Southampton. We confirm the vehicle's condition and the safest loading plan before dispatch.
Tell us exactly where the vehicle stopped
Provide the exact Southampton postcode or a live location pin, whether the vehicle is in a safe place, and the required destination. On M3, M27, A34 or another major road, include the direction of travel, closest junction and any visible location marker.
Vehicle condition changes the recovery equipment
A vehicle that starts, rolls and steers normally may require a different loading method from one with locked wheels, a gearbox that will not select neutral, accident damage or collapsed suspension. Send photographs of damaged wheels, bodywork and the surrounding access so suitability can be checked before travel.
- Make, model, registration and approximate vehicle size
- Whether it runs, rolls, steers, brakes and selects neutral
- Manual or electronic handbrake condition
- Visible tyre, wheel, steering or suspension damage
- Passengers, keys and destination arrangements

Do not stand in a live carriageway or attempt a repair where traffic makes the position unsafe. Move behind a barrier or to another protected place when possible. Contact emergency services or the responsible road operator first if the vehicle creates an immediate danger.
