Recovery services in Sussex
Across West and Mid Sussex the work splits fairly evenly between motorway failures and town-centre jobs. On the M23 through Crawley and the approach roads to Gatwick it is usually breakdown recovery or emergency recovery where a vehicle has stopped somewhere fast and exposed. In Horsham, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill it is more often a jump start or a car that will not move off a driveway.
We also handle Sussex vehicles that are not broken down at all: transport for a car sold on, auction collections from trade sites near Gatwick, and commercial vehicle recovery for vans working the industrial estates around Crawley and Burgess Hill. Where a vehicle needs somewhere to sit while an insurer or a buyer decides what happens next, secure storage is part of the same job.
What we get called to in Sussex
Sussex is a big county name for a fairly compact patch of ground. We work West and Mid Sussex only — Crawley, Gatwick, Horsham, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill — not the coast, not Brighton, and not East Sussex. It is the M23 corridor and the market towns either side of it, nothing further.
The M23 corridor
The M23 runs the length of this patch, from the Surrey border down through Crawley to Gatwick, and a stopped vehicle on it needs clearing fast. These jobs get priority dispatch because the running lane matters more than anything else.
Gatwick's car parks
Long-stay and mid-stay car parks around the airport produce a steady run of cars that will not start after a fortnight sat idle. It is more often a flat battery than a real fault, but the vehicle still has to be moved or jumped on site.
Market town centres
Horsham, Haywards Heath and East Grinstead all have tight, older centres with one-way systems and narrow approach roads. Getting a flatbed close enough to load safely takes local knowledge, not just a big enough truck.
Local roads & trouble spots in Sussex
The M23 is the spine of the area, running from the Surrey border through Crawley to Gatwick and on towards Brighton. The A23 shadows it through the towns, and the A264 links Crawley to East Grinstead via Copthorne. The A272 crosses Haywards Heath east to west, the A24 runs down through Horsham towards the coast, and the A2300 connects Burgess Hill to the A23.

Frequently asked questions about recovery in Sussex
Do you cover the whole of Sussex?
No — we cover West and Mid Sussex: Crawley, Gatwick, Horsham, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill. We do not run regular jobs into Brighton, the coast or East Sussex, so we will say so rather than send a truck a long way for no reason.
Why is Gatwick Airport treated differently from the other towns?
Most Gatwick call-outs are not roadside breakdowns at all — they are cars that will not start after weeks in long-stay parking, auction collections, or vehicles being transported on to a new owner. We staff for that pattern rather than treating it like an ordinary town.
Can you collect a car from Crawley or Burgess Hill for sale or auction?
Regularly. Vehicle transport and auction collections make up a steady share of the Sussex work, particularly around the trade sites near Gatwick and the industrial estates in Crawley. Both are usually booked a day or two ahead rather than treated as emergencies.
Do you do motorcycle recovery in Sussex?
Yes, on a flatbed with proper straps and a wheel chock rather than laid on its side. Bikes travel upright and secured, whether the job is a breakdown on the M23 or a planned transport job.
How is the price worked out?
On distance and the type of job, agreed before we set off. A short hop within Crawley costs less than a run out to Horsham or East Grinstead, and you get the figure up front either way.
