NON-RUNNER RECOVERY Across Sussex

Sat on the drive since the MOT ran out? Tyres flat, key lost years ago, brakes seized solid? We move vehicles that haven’t turned a wheel in years, without wrecking your driveway or the car.

Specialist Non-Runner Recovery In Sussex

A non-runner is anything that can’t be driven onto a truck under its own power. Seized engine, gearbox that won’t select, no keys, flat tyres, or a rolling shell with no engine in it at all.

Equipment is what matters here. A car that won’t roll or steer can’t just be winched up a ramp. We carry specialist skates that go under each wheel and let it move regardless.

Then a controlled winch pulls it onto the flatbed, secured with soft straps at proper chassis points. Slow, steady, and no damage to a vehicle that’s often fragile already.

Our Non-Runner Recovery Services

No-Key Vehicle Recovery

Steering lock on, can't select neutral, immobiliser refusing to acknowledge anything. Skates and a winch load it without needing a key at all.

Seized & Long-Standing Vehicles

Seized brakes, perished tyres and a battery that died three winters ago. Standard for us and no reason it can't be moved today.

Driveway & Garden Collection

Driveway collection planned around the access, the surface and the room available. Gravel, lawn and block paving all get handled differently.

Project & Restoration Cars

Project cars and part-disassembled restoration vehicles moved between workshops or to a new owner. Loose parts boxed and labelled first.

SORN & Untaxed Vehicles

SORN with no tax and no MOT is fine. On a flatbed it's being carried rather than driven, so neither is required.

Garage & Workshop Transfer

Garage transfer jobs where a workshop can't get a car running and it needs to go to a specialist who can.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. This is one of our most common jobs. Skates and a winch, no keys required at any point.

No. Flat tyres are standard for non-runners. The skates go underneath and the wheels never need to turn.

No. On a flatbed it’s being carried, not driven. A SORN vehicle with no tax and no MOT is perfectly fine.

We work carefully, but tell us the surface when you call. Soft ground and loose gravel need a different approach to tarmac.

Often, using long line winching. Send us a photo of the access and we’ll tell you straight away.

Yes. We buy non-runners in any condition. Worth asking for a valuation before you pay for a recovery you might not need.
