Car recovery is for vehicles that cannot be driven or even rolled: accident damage, a car bogged in sand, locked wheels, or a car stuck in a basement with no power. A recovery truck comes to the car in Khalifa City at any hour and winches it onto a flatbed. From there it goes to your garage, your insurer's workshop or your home.
Flatbed recovery for crashed, stuck or sand-bogged vehicles, any hour.
Where the job is done
At your car. The technician comes to your villa, parking bay, office or the roadside in Khalifa City.
Khalifa City still has plenty of open sandy plots and unpaved verges, and saloon cars sink in them faster than drivers expect, especially on a shortcut between two streets. Villa carports are easy for a flatbed. Basements in the newer apartment blocks have low ceilings, so the car is winched or pushed to the ramp first.

A fair number of cars reported as engine failure only need a battery. We test it at the scene, and if a jump start or a new battery gets the car moving, the truck goes home empty.
Send photos and your pin. We need to know if the car rolls, steers and has its keys, and what the ground around it is like.
After an accident, get the police or Saaed report before the car is moved. Garages and insurers will ask for it.
The operator sets the winch line, puts skates under any locked wheels, pulls the car onto the bed and straps all four wheels.
The car is unloaded at the address you gave. If you are not travelling with it, we send photos at drop-off.
Most calls end with one of these. The technician tests first, so you only buy a battery when the old one has really failed.
Lights left on, or the car sat while you were away for three weeks. We boost it with a protected pack that is safe for modern electronics, then check the battery can still hold a charge.
A digital tester reads the battery's health, voltage and cranking power in about two minutes. You see the numbers on the screen before anyone talks about a new battery.
The right size and type for your car, brought to you and fitted. Radio and window settings are kept, the old battery goes for recycling and the warranty starts that day.
The truck is chosen for the job: a flatbed for damaged and all-wheel-drive cars, and extra winch line for sand.
We check that it is not just a dead battery before loading anything, because a recovery you did not need helps nobody.

Reviews from customers of our mobile battery teams in and around Khalifa City.
Khalid A.Nissan Patrol, Khalifa CityThe Patrol would only click on the morning of the school run. I sent my location on WhatsApp and the technician was at the villa in about half an hour. He tested the old battery first, showed me the reading, then changed it in the driveway.
Sarah M.Kia Sportage, Al Raha GardensCame back from three weeks away to a completely dead car. I assumed I needed a new battery, but the technician tested it and said it only needed a jump start and a proper drive. I appreciated not being sold something I did not need.
Arjun P.Toyota Camry, Al RayyanaMy Camry was down in the basement at Al Rayyana and I was not sure anyone would come to the bay. The technician left his van in a visitor space and carried the battery and tools down to me. Paid by card and the old battery went with him.
The vans work from inside Khalifa City, so every sector between the E10 and the Al Ain road is close. These are the places we get called to most.
We also cover the neighbourhoods around us. Drive times are from central Khalifa City in normal traffic.
Recovery is for a car that cannot move under its own power or is stuck somewhere awkward, and it involves winching. Towing is the planned transport of a car that goes onto the truck normally. If you are unsure, send a photo and we will send the right truck.
Yes, we winch cars out of soft sand on empty plots and street verges. Stop spinning the wheels as soon as the car digs in, because every spin sinks it deeper. A 4x4 buried to the chassis may need a longer line and a second anchor point.
Yes, after any accident you should have the police or Saaed report before the car goes to a garage. Workshops in the UAE do not repair accident damage without it. If the car is blocking traffic, follow police instructions on moving it.
Yes, in most cases. Low ceilings usually stop the flatbed from entering, so the car is moved to the ramp or the entrance on skates or with a small winch, then loaded outside.
Wherever you tell us. That can be your own garage, an insurer-approved workshop, a dealer in Abu Dhabi or Mussafah, or your villa. We can also take it to our partner workshop for diagnosis.
The same number sorts out the rest of the car. Roadside jobs are done where the car stands. Workshop jobs are collected and returned.
Tell us the car and share your location. A technician sets off with the right battery, usually arriving in 20-35 minutes.
