Fast, reliable vehicle recovery is what you need when your car, SUV or van can’t be driven. Breakdown.lk recovers vehicles across Sri Lanka around the clock — from breakdowns and accidents to vehicles stuck off the road — and moves them safely to where they need to go. One number reaches the nearest recovery crew, day or night.

What vehicle recovery covers

Vehicle recovery is the safe movement of a vehicle that can’t or shouldn’t be driven. That includes breakdowns with serious mechanical faults, accident-damaged vehicles, and cars stuck in difficult positions. Our car recovery crews carry the equipment for straightforward flatbed loads as well as winch-outs and careful extraction.

Why choose Breakdown.lk for recovery

A recovery done properly protects your vehicle from further damage. We match the method and equipment to the situation, operate 24 hours a day, and agree a firm price before the crew sets off. Crews operate island-wide, and there is no call-out fee if we can’t help.

Our vehicle recovery services

  • Breakdown recovery — when a roadside fix isn’t possible.
  • Accident recovery — safe removal and transport of damaged vehicles.
  • Flatbed recovery — the safest transport for non-running or damaged vehicles.
  • Winch-out recovery — for vehicles off the road, in mud or in a ditch.
  • Safe transport to your garage — delivered wherever you choose.

Recovery for breakdowns and accidents

The two most common recovery calls are breakdowns that can’t be fixed at the roadside and vehicles that have been in an accident. Both need careful handling — a breakdown to avoid worsening the fault, an accident to avoid further damage to an already-compromised vehicle. Our crews are trained and equipped for both, and prioritise getting the vehicle off the road safely before transporting it.

How it works

Call or WhatsApp with your location, your vehicle’s make and model, and what has happened. We confirm the price, dispatch the nearest crew with the right equipment, and give you a live ETA. The crew recovers your vehicle safely and delivers it to your chosen destination.

What affects recovery cost

We quote each recovery on its facts — the distance involved, the type and weight of the vehicle, and what the recovery requires. You get a firm price before the crew sets off and approve it before we start.

Recovery for breakdowns and accidents

The two most common vehicle recovery calls are breakdowns that can’t be fixed at the roadside and vehicles that have been in an accident. Both need careful handling for different reasons: a breakdown so an improper recovery doesn’t worsen the fault, and an accident because a damaged vehicle is fragile and easily harmed further. Our crews are trained and equipped for both, and prioritise getting the vehicle safely off the road before transporting it to wherever you need it to go.

When your vehicle is stuck off the road

Heavy rain, soft verges and poor visibility mean vehicles sometimes end up off the road — in a ditch, on a bank, or bogged in mud. These need winching and careful extraction, not just a hook and a pull. Our crews assess the ground, the angle and the vehicle before recovering it, so it comes out without added damage, then transport it safely once it’s back on solid ground. It’s a job that needs the right equipment and experience, both of which our recovery crews bring.

Safe transport to wherever you need

Once your vehicle is recovered, it needs to go somewhere — your usual garage, a workshop, an insurer’s assessor, or home. We deliver it wherever you choose, on a flatbed where that’s the safest option for a damaged or non-running vehicle. You decide the destination; we get it there safely. That flexibility matters when you’re dealing with the stress of a breakdown or accident and just want the vehicle sorted.
