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.

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.

I was in McDonald's car park in Poole and my headlights drained my battery. I have breakdown cover but couldn't afford to wait so called GRS to help me out. I was attended to by a lovely and professional guy called Andy who quickly turned up and jump started my car and got me on my way again. I cannot praise Andy or GRS recovery enough... Absolutely professional and very very competitive rates. Thank you so much.

On a 4 day Rugby tournament with my son, just outside Poole, I found myself in a predicament with my car. Unfortunately my clutch had gone and I was informed that GRS were coming to tow me back to Buckingham. I was contacted to say when and how they would be coming. Well all I can say is , what a wonderful experience from my driver. He was considerate, polite, caring and lovely. He said if I needed to stop at anytime, to let him know. He was a true person, who gave you amazing faith in the good in people. Thank you so much . Pam

Very painless recovery after our mini had serious timing chain related failure, booked via our admiral breakdown cover. Very helpful lady from GRS checked on phone that we were ok and confirmed recovery truck was on its way. James who recovered us made sure we were safe whilst loading and then unloading at the garage, and took good care of the car. He was very polite and helpful and went the extra mile to ensure we could try get our day back on track as soon as possible. Breaking down is never great but this made it as good an experience as it could have been!

Rob the man who came to my rescue was polite and extremely patient. Instead of making me feel stupid because I didn’t understand what was wrong, like some companies do, he took me around to the bonnet and showed me and explained to me in simple terms that I understood. He was very efficient and when he dropped me at the garage of my choice he made sure I was ok and wished me luck before he went on his way. What a great company to help me on my way and what a lucky company to have a man like Rob. Couldn’t recommend this company high enough they are brilliant! Thank you.

I needed some maintenance done on my car - I contacted a few places but GRS beat the others by a mile not only in price but speed of response and customer care! They worked everything around me and my needs. James was absolutely fantastic with helping me arrange my booking - patience of a saint and answered all my questions! When I came to collect my car, Oz came to greet me. He was so polite and explained everything to me and made sure I knew where I could collect my car from. I have been so impressed with the service I have received from GRS, James & Oz that they will be my first choice for any future work.

Helped me massively, fixing the key cylinder on my car on the spot! I had a problem with the key slot for my car ignition being blocked. I spent ages trying to clear it myself and get the key in, however after half an hour of trying to fix it I gave up and called my breakdown cover assuming I’d be taken to a garage and have a replacement key barrel fitted.The GRS Recovery roadside assistant (Rob S) arrived within 30 minutes and managed to repair my cars key cylinder on the spot saving me from having to go to a garage and pay out a lot of money. I highly recommend this company.

Everyone's nightmare, turn the key, nothing!..Called out roadside assistance and James from GRS showed up in about 20 minutes. Diagnosed battery burn out, ruling out alternator and other issues. Carried replacement in his van which was fitted quickly. Real issues with my old Golf trying to reset the ABS steering as warning lights showing due to power off. James, the technician spent some considerable time trying to recalibrate with a smart bluetooth device. Unable to do so he suggested I meet him after his shift where he tried to do same with another device. Car was driveable so did just that and we overcame the issue. Top effort from James and GRS, couldn't have been more helpful.

Can't rate them highly enough . I broke down in Dorset and was assisted by Dave , who took me and my car back to Nottingham. Nothing was too much trouble and he made a distressing situation a lot less stressful. Excellent service thank you

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.

Fantastic service from Jason at GRS. Jason arrived on scene promptly and assisted with recovering my Father-In-Laws car. The service as always was exceptional.

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.

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.

Unfortunately my clutch had gone and I was informed that GRS were coming to tow me back to Buckingham. I was contacted to say when and how they would be coming. Well all I can say is , what a wonderful experience from my driver. He was considerate, polite, caring and lovely. He said if I needed to stop at anytime, to let him know. He was a true person, who gave you amazing faith in the good in people. Thank you so much . Pam

Very helpful lady from GRS checked on phone that we were ok and confirmed recovery truck was on its way. James who recovered us made sure we were safe whilst loading and then unloading at the garage, and took good care of the car. He was very polite and helpful and went the extra mile to ensure we could try get our day back on track as soon as possible. Breaking down is never great but this made it as good an experience as it could have been!

Rob the man who came to my rescue was polite and extremely patient. Instead of making me feel stupid because I didn’t understand what was wrong, like some companies do, he took me around to the bonnet and showed me and explained to me in simple terms that I understood. He was very efficient and when he dropped me at the garage of my choice he made sure I was ok and wished me luck before he went on his way. What a great company to help me on my way and what a lucky company to have a man like Rob. Couldn’t recommend this company high enough they are brilliant! Thank you.

Everyone's nightmare, turn the key, nothing!..Called out roadside assistance and James from GRS showed up in about 20 minutes. Diagnosed battery burn out, ruling out alternator and other issues. Carried replacement in his van which was fitted quickly. Real issues with my old Golf trying to reset the ABS steering as warning lights showing due to power off. James, the technician spent some considerable time trying to recalibrate with a smart bluetooth device. Unable to do so he suggested I meet him after his shift where he tried to do same with another device. Car was driveable so did just that and we overcame the issue. Top effort from James and GRS, couldn't have been more helpful.

Rob the man who came to my rescue was polite and extremely patient. Instead of making me feel stupid because I didn’t understand what was wrong, like some companies do, he took me around to the bonnet and showed me and explained to me in simple terms that I understood. He was very efficient and when he dropped me at the garage of my choice he made sure I was ok and wished me luck before he went on his way. What a great company to help me on my way and what a lucky company to have a man like Rob. Couldn’t recommend this company high enough they are brilliant! Thank you.read more

Very painless recovery after our mini had serious timing chain related failure, booked via our admiral breakdown cover. Very helpful lady from GRS checked on phone that we were ok and confirmed recovery truck was on its way. James who recovered us made sure we were safe whilst loading and then unloading at the garage, and took good care of the car. He was very polite and helpful and went the extra mile to ensure we could try get our day back on track as soon as possible. Breaking down is never great but this made it as good an experience as it could have been!read more

On a 4 day Rugby tournament with my son, just outside Poole, I found myself in a predicament with my car. Unfortunately my clutch had gone and I was informed that GRS were coming to tow me back to Buckingham. I was contacted to say when and how they would be coming. Well all I can say is , what a wonderful experience from my driver. He was considerate, polite, caring and lovely. He said if I needed to stop at anytime, to let him know. He was a true person, who gave you amazing faith in the good in people. Thank you so much . Pamread more

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.read more

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.read more

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.

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.

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.

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 youread more

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.read more
