Fast, Careful Accident Recovery When You Need It Most
Being involved in an accident is stressful enough without worrying about getting your vehicle off the road safely. MTS Recovery & Transport attends accident scenes across the North East 24 hours a day, working quickly and carefully to recover damaged or non-driveable vehicles from motorways, A-roads, and residential streets alike.
We’re experienced in dealing with police-attended incidents, insurance liaison, and safe loading of vehicles that may be difficult to move — whether that’s a written-off car, a vehicle with steering or wheel damage, or one that simply won’t start after a collision. Once recovered, we’ll transport your vehicle exactly where it needs to go: your chosen garage, an insurer-approved bodyshop, or secure storage.

What our customers say
EXCELLENT Based on 57 reviews Posted on Google SarahTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt was super friendly on the phone when I was stuck and no idea what to do. Super quick getting to me and my poorly car and made everything simple and stress free. Friendly, honest and reliable service. Thank you so so much!Posted on Google Ben MansfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. MTS sorted us out with no £££ who does that? A major fault light came on on our car at 9.30pm Sunday night while driving home to Scotland. Called MTS, he couldn't do it so he sent me quotes from two other local firms, and offered alternative options too. Long story short we stayed in an epic budget Travelodge in Hexham nearby (took the risk to drive 3 mins there), got the car fixed Monday morning and drove home later that day after a great day out in Hexham! Thank you MTS I'm a lifelong fan :-)Posted on Google Kallum MakinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Our driver Matt is experienced, fully insured, and committed to making a difficult situation as stress-free as possible — from the moment you call, you’ll speak directly to the person coming to help you, with no call centres and no waiting on hold.
Do you attend accidents on motorways and A-roads?
Yes. We attend accident scenes across the North East road network, including motorways and dual carriageways, and are experienced in safely recovering vehicles from live traffic situations.
Can you deal directly with my insurance company?
Yes. We regularly liaise directly with insurers on our customers’ behalf to arrange recovery, storage, and onward transport to an approved repairer, keeping the process as simple as possible for you.
What happens to my car after it's recovered?
Once safely recovered, we’ll transport your vehicle to wherever it needs to go next — your preferred garage, an insurer-approved bodyshop, or secure storage — based on what you and your insurer arrange.
How quickly can you reach the scene of an accident?
We aim to respond as fast as possible across Sunderland, Tyne & Wear and County Durham, with average attendance times of under an hour for most locations — often much sooner. As a local operator, we’re not dispatched from a call centre miles away, so there’s no unnecessary delay getting to you.
Can you recover a vehicle that's a suspected write-off?
Yes. We safely recover vehicles regardless of the extent of damage, including those likely to be written off, and can transport them to an insurer-approved bodyshop or secure storage while the claim is assessed.
