I broke down whilst on Holiday in Poole, Dorset, staying at Rockley Park. GRS recovery brought me my family and my car all the way back to Penarth in South Wales. The driver/technician Robbie was exceptional. If anyone is anywhere in Dorset and has the unfortunate problem of a breakdown don`t hesitate in calling GRS they are a well organised and well trained team of professionals.

Thank you so much for helping our elderly friend who had an accident in the middle of 'no where', finding him from our description of where it happened and returning him to Devon. He couldn't thank you enough either and was very impressed with your young recovery operator. Bowron Motorcare

I have just experienced GRS’s superb service. My car had broken down at Poole harbour ferry car park and the RAC had authorised recovery to my local garage in Hertfordshire. GRS phoned me soon after to confirm my location and the expected time they could send one of their trucks to meet me. A bit later the driver phoned me to let me know he was held up in the traffic waiting for the ferry and asked if I was able to drive the car at all, and if so could he meet up with me on the road outside the ferry area? I was able to do this and we met up. My car was soon loaded onto his truck and we set off, though the driver was concerned he’d go over his allocated hours on the vehicles tachograph by the time he could return to his base. This was overcome by us rendezvousing with another GRS driver at the M27 service area who took over the vehicle I was travelling in and completed the journey to Hertfordshire in good time. Both drivers were extremely competent, professional and good company to travel with. Many thanks GRS for all your help.

If Heineken did recovery ! Fabulously professional outfit and staff who took great care of the vehicle and me. A very clean truck and first class driver turned up and made an unenjoyable late night breakdown in the rain a much more bearable experience. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Adrian came to my rescue after I stupidly managed to drive my car into a ditch and got it completely stuck! He was friendly and professional and had me back on the road in no time (after creating an improvised ramp out of random items found nearby!). Couldn’t recommend more highly!

Definitely 5 star service. I broke down Sunday morning and GRS responded very promptly and after getting my taxi started it would not stay running because battery was completely useless. Within 15 minutes of making the call a recovery truck appeared and took me to nearest battery retailer and I was soon on my way. So a big thank you to all the GRS staff involved as I was able to continue with days work keeping my wheelchair customers happy.

As a local company providing Bouncy Castles all very Dorset we need a fast reliable and easy to deal with recovery company to come to the rescue when needed. GRS Recovey have been our go to company. We've been using them for a number of years now and they've helped us out so many times. Most recently in the busy December period twice. Sharon, Neil, Rich, Oz and the whole team provide a great service that we can rely on. Save their number to your phone as 24/7 they will answer your call and get someone out to you ASAP. Not just a recovery company though, they've often given me crucial mechanical advice and local experience that's saved me money and time. Highly recommended, thank you

Having been in an accident in the recent snow fall, we were quickly called by a gentleman called Andy who advised us of a collection time. Andy arrived exactly on time and could not have been more professional or helpful. He is a credit to himself and his company. I also dealt with a lady called Sharon at the GRS office today who was also extremely professional and helpful. GRS should be proud to have such great employees. Regards, Mr Smith.

Had an excellent and extremely helpful experience with GRS last night. They got me home and my cat was delivers to me in the middle of the night, very quietly, as the first operator had the wrong kind of recovery vehicle for not damaging my car. I felt listened to and accommodated the whole way. Thank you so much GRS

Fantastic service from GRS. After breaking down in the centre of Bournemouth today and needing complete recovery of my vehicle I was so impressed with how quickly the recovery vehicle got to me. Rob, my knight in shining high vis, was totally professional and reassuring. So nice to have a friendly, kind, calm person in a stressful situation. Rob is a great credit to this excellent company. Thank you.

Amazing service this morning. Our car broke down in Winchester BP services. After so many towing companies around Winchester area who couldn’t provide us service we contacted GRS services in Bournemouth. Sharon on the phone was lovely and did sorted out our situation very fast and within the few minutes she organised the towing truck for us. And then couple hours later Jason arrived. We were very happy to see him. He provided excellent service plus the drive to Bournemouth went very fast as we had good time and we talked about everything. Very glad we came across this company. Highly recommended!!!

Fantastic service. Even with extremely heavy traffic a guy arrived in 10 minutes to check if he could get my Motorhome working but unfortunately the clutch had gone. We then had to wait for a larger recovery truck to come and get us. Shaun arrived and could not have been more polite, friendly and helpful. Excellent driver and enjoyed our 3 hour trip back home. It made a bad experience more palatable. From the guy on the end of the phone and both our Romanian mechanic to the lovely Shaun I can't recommend this company enough. Well done GRS Recovery, great work with a 5 star service. A very Happy customer.

A big shout out and thankyou to GRS Recovery who sorted us out, after we'd heard some very dodgy noises from the back of the car we hadn't driven for the previous couple of weeks. It took Glen just a few minutes to confirm the cause, explain it in terms we could understand, apply the cure, test it and send us on our way once more. Great work, and many thanks again.

We would like to thank Jason for helping us when our caravan lost a wheel in the New Forest. He was most helpful and friendly. He called out Jamie who arrived and managed to get the wheel sorted out to get us on our way. They then followed us for a while to make sure everything was o.k. We cannot thank them enough. Absolutely fantastic service!!

I've used grs recovery for a good few years now and never been let down. They have helped transport everything from a ford ka to a Nissan skyline without a single problem and that was pretty low due to modified suspension. The reception is clean and inviting and they have a waiting area with comfy seating should you need to wait. Every recovery driver I've dealt with has been friendly and professional. I couldn't recommend them enough. Thanks guys.

Called my breakdown company (Gem) who subcontract the closest breakdown company and GRS recovery came out to me when I had a flat battery. They carried out a test and it showed my battery was fine and I had left the interior light on. So charged my battery and made sure It was ok. The mechanic made me feel comfortable and wasn't just a sales man pushing me to buy a new battery. Would highly recommend GRS Recovery to anyone that needs honest advise.
