Secure Vehicle Storage – Reading, Berkshire & Surrounding Areas

At Raf’s Breakdown Recovery, we provide secure short-term and temporary vehicle storage for vehicles recovered following breakdowns, accidents, police instructions, or roadside incidents.

Our storage service is ideal for vehicles awaiting inspection, insurance decisions, repairs, or onward collection, offering peace of mind that your vehicle is kept safe, controlled, and professionally managed.

Why Secure Storage May Be Required

Vehicle storage is commonly required when:

A vehicle is involved in a road traffic collision
Police or National Highways request removal from the carriageway
A vehicle is unsafe to drive or heavily damaged
Insurance companies require the vehicle to be held for assessment
Recovery occurs outside workshop opening hours

We work closely with drivers, insurers, body shops, and recovery agents to ensure a smooth handover once the vehicle is released.

Safe, Controlled & Professionally Managed

Controlled access storage locations
Professional handling and positioning of vehicles
Clear records of arrival, condition, and release
Storage linked directly to our recovery operations

Vehicles are only released with proper authorisation, ensuring security and accountability at all times.

Secure storage is often provided as part of our wider services, including:

Car and van recovery

Motorway and live-lane assistance (once authorities are involved and lanes are closed)

This allows us to offer a complete, end-to-end solution from roadside recovery to safe storage and onward transport.
