Breakdown recovery
Your car will not start or will not go any further — we come to you and take it where it needs to be.

Woolwich is about twenty-nine minutes from our base along the A206. Urban Bear Recovery covers Woolwich, Thamesmead and Plumstead for recovery and transport, 24 hours a day.
The A206 through Thamesmead is the route in, and it is slow at the wrong times of day — that is why twenty-nine minutes for fifteen miles. We would rather quote you the real number than the one the map says. Woolwich itself has controlled and pedestrianised sections around the centre where a truck cannot go, so we agree a loading point when you call.
A fair share of Woolwich work is vehicles that need moving out of the borough entirely — to a garage, a buyer, or home. That is transport rather than rescue, and it is planned rather than urgent, so booking it a day ahead usually gets you a better slot and a better price.
