Sussex Roadside
24/7 Car Recovery & Roadside Assistance, based in Selsey (2022) — here's a bit more about who we are.
Who you're actually calling
Sussex Roadside is a family-run vehicle recovery and roadside assistance company run by Richard Beesley, providing help to motorists throughout Sussex.
Richard has spent decades working with cars and helping drivers when things go wrong. With around 40 years of experience behind the business, there isn’t much he hasn’t encountered – from a simple flat battery or breakdown at home to accident-damaged vehicles, difficult recoveries and cars that need transporting safely across the country.
Today, Richard works alongside his son, keeping Sussex Roadside very much a hands-on family business. When you call us, you’re dealing with people who know vehicles, understand the stress of being stranded and genuinely want to get the problem sorted.
Who we are, at a glance
We only list accreditations we genuinely hold — if you're looking for a specific one (Checkatrade, RAC-approved, etc.) just ask, and we'll tell you honestly whether we have it.
What we've actually been doing
Early-morning recovery booked the night before
Booked the evening before after being one of the only operators able to take the job first thing the next morning. The driver accepted the booking while still travelling back from a holiday abroad, and still arrived exactly on time the next day. The car was recovered from the customer's home to a local garage, including reversing the truck into a particularly tight entrance across traffic.
2026-09-12Non-starter sorted at the roadside within 30 minutes
Arrived within 30 minutes of the call to a car that would not start at all. Found the fault at the roadside and got the customer moving again.
2026-09-08Driveway recovery with a lift home offered
Recovered a customer's car to a local garage for repair after they got in touch having searched for local recovery options. The price was agreed over the phone up front and stuck to on arrival. Once the car was dropped off, a lift home was offered — though on this occasion the customer chose to stay and look at some of the garage's cars for sale instead.
