Breakdown & Recovery
24/7 Breakdown & Vehicle Recovery Services
Across Kent and the UK
When your vehicle breaks down, the last thing you want is silence, delay, or confusion. At J&H Recovery and Transport, we provide fast, dependable breakdown recovery across Kent and beyond — whether you’re stuck at the roadside, involved in an accident, or facing a flat battery in a car park.

Jump Starts
Battery flat? We’ll come equipped with professional-grade boosters to get you going again — no DIY attempts, no risk of damage.
Wheel Changes
Stuck with a flat tyre and no tools — or a locking wheel nut gone missing? We’ll get the job done safely and securely, even at the roadside.
Post-Accident Recovery
If you’ve been involved in a collision, we’ll recover your vehicle and bring it to a destination of your choice — garage, home, or secure storage. We can also assist with onward transport for passengers if needed.
Vehicle Storage (If Required)
In some cases, you might not be ready to move the vehicle on. We can arrange temporary secure storage for your recovered car while you sort out the next steps.

Recovery and Transport – One Company, Complete Coverage
Because we also specialise in nationwide and European vehicle transport, we’re able to offer an end-to-end service. Need a non-running car picked up and delivered to another county?
