vehicle recovery
Breakdown assistance dispatched
Vehicle recovery is the process of retrieving a vehicle that has broken down, been in an accident, or become stuck or stranded.
Recovery services tow or transport disabled vehicles to repair shops, impound lots, or other destinations.
The term also covers military and off-road contexts where vehicles must be extracted from ditches, mud, or difficult terrain: We called for vehicle recovery after sliding off the icy road.
