How it works

Three taps to a driver.

Built for the moment you are stood at the roadside, so nothing gets in the way.

1

See who is near you

Allow location or type a postcode. The map shows every driver live nearby and how many miles away each one is.

2

Call the driver

Tap Call and speak to them directly. Agree the price between you before they set off.

3

Watch them arrive

Give the driver your six-digit code and follow them on the map, with a live arrival time, until they reach you.

Why people trust it

A live map only works if it is true.

So we check every driver, and the map only ever shows drivers who are actually out.

Checked before they go live

Driving licence, photo ID, insurance certificate and photographs of every truck, reviewed by our team. Nobody appears on the map until they pass.

Real positions, right now

Drivers share their position while they work. If a truck is on the map, it is out and reachable — not a listing last updated years ago.

Reviews that are checked

Only customers who completed a job can leave a rating, and each one is looked at before it counts.

The price is yours to agree

We are not in the middle of the payment. No commission, no booking fee, no membership — which is also why it stays cheaper than cover.

Recovery in Chester: where it usually goes wrong

Chester sits close to the Welsh border with the M53, M56 and A55 all meeting nearby, which means a recovery driver may be crossing between two countries to reach you. It rarely matters practically, but it does mean the nearest driver by distance is sometimes on the wrong side of a river or an estuary.

The A55 expressway

The main route into north Wales, fast and with long stretches between junctions. Holiday traffic fills it in summer.

The M53 and M56

The routes to the Wirral and to Manchester, both with good hard shoulders.

The A483 and A41

Steadier roads towards Wrexham and Whitchurch.

The city walls and the Rows

Restricted access and very tight turns. A large vehicle may not be able to reach the car where it stands.

Worth knowing. On the A55, the junction number is the fastest way to be found. The road looks the same for miles.
Questions

Before you call.

It depends on who is out. The map shows every driver live in Chester right now and the app shows how many miles away each one is, so you can see before you call rather than being given a time by a call centre.

You agree the price with the driver on the phone before they set off. RecoverQ adds nothing to it — no booking fee, no commission and no membership.

Every driver is checked before they can go live: driving licence, photo ID, insurance certificate and photographs of each truck, all reviewed by our team.

No. Open the map, see who is live, and call. If the driver takes the job you get a six-digit code and can watch them on their way.

Anywhere a driver is live. Drivers in Chester regularly cover Ellesmere Port, Wrexham, Northwich, Mold, Frodsham, Deeside and Warrington, and the main routes — the M53 and M56, the A55, A483 and A41.
