I had an extremely disappointing experience with this recovery company. I was originally told that our fleet vehicle would be recovered on Wednesday, but that never happened. When I called to follow up, the receptionist was incredibly rude—she constantly spoke over me, raised her voice, and eventually hung up the call. This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable, especially from someone in a customer-facing role. Rather than offering help or apologising for the delay, I was met with hostility and zero professionalism. Shocking service overall. Being without a vehicle is already stressful, and being treated like this while simply trying to get information made the situation much worse. I strongly believe management needs to seriously re-evaluate how their call-handling staff are trained.

Martin promptly resumed my wife and her friend from a crash, immediately got them out of the freezing weather and into the warmth of the can. A true gentleman and amazing at getting them to a garage safely. Thank you!

I was really pleased with the service provided this evening from Martyn King EU08E00, and his co-worker. He co-ordinated the pick-up, along with a very helpful VR Ltd Receptionist of my car, by keeping in touch with me so that I knew the time of arrival. Meaning I didn’t have to wait very long in the cold. He used Hyab equipment to remove the vehicle from the road. I had every confidence in his experience of carrying out this difficult task. He was helpful and friendly.

I can’t thank Victoria Recovery enough for the outstanding service I received, especially from Shane. From the moment he arrived, he went above and beyond—he even picked me up directly from my hotel, which was such a relief during an already stressful situation. The tow from Bristol to Kent was nearly a 4-hour journey, but Shane made the entire experience smooth and comfortable. He was professional, patient, and genuinely kind the whole way. His calm attitude and expertise turned a stressful day into something completely manageable, and I felt taken care of every step of the way. Victoria Recovery is incredibly fortunate to have Shane on their team. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and truly exceptional recovery service.

5* service when Tom arrived, 1* wait time. I was stranded on the hard shoulder of the M5 for 3.5 hours. The AA do not attend ‘hard shoulder recovery’, so the job was passed to Victoria Recovery. Unfortunately it was a ‘busy evening’, hence the 3.5 hour wait. However, when Tom arrived, he was super polite, very helpful and managed to drive me home (on the back of a flat bed). Tim was incredible, calm, reassuring and absolutely spot on. Just wish they had more drivers like Tom and would have been great if he turned up within an hour (which is what the AA said would happen).

Rod was really amazing today. He was very persistent in trying to make sure I was safe and my car was in the garage as the last resort after trying to diagnose the issues first thank you Rod are not to forget the two other gentleman who turned up to support you in making Life easier. Great teamwork thanks again.

Jason came and rescued me from the M4 late last night and was really friendly and professional. He also sorted out a charge for my phone which was about to die and made sure both me and my car got back to where we needed to be. Great service!

These guys came out under contract ( Dean) from Autaid . I left my keys in the ignition of an Audi A2 and it locked itself . Dean made contact straight away after accepting the job , was at my house in 30 mins, he communicated very well and had the job done in ten minutes with no damage to the car . Excellent service all around ( Autoaid included ) I don’t know why people pay double to go with the AA/ RAC etc for inferior service .,
