Accident Recovery For Damaged Or Unsafe Vehicles

Even a small accident can leave a vehicle unsafe to continue driving. If there is damage, warning lights, leaking fluid, steering issues or the vehicle cannot move, recovery is usually the safer option.

Vehicle Cannot Be Driven

If your vehicle will not move after an accident, we can recover it from the roadside, a car park, driveway or another safe collection point.

Front Or Rear Damage

Bumper, bonnet, boot or panel damage can make driving unsafe. We can tow the vehicle to a garage, body shop, mechanic or storage address.

Wheel Or Steering Damage

If the wheel is bent, the steering feels wrong or the vehicle is pulling to one side, it should not be driven. We can arrange safe vehicle recovery.

Warning Lights After A Collision

If warning lights appear after an accident, it may not be safe to continue. We can recover the vehicle so it can be checked by a garage or mechanic.

Vehicle In An Unsafe Position

If the vehicle is blocking access, stuck at the roadside or parked somewhere unsafe after an accident, we can help move it where possible.

Motorway Or Main Road Incidents

Accidents near the M5, A40, A435, A46 or A417 need careful handling. Once you are safe, we can arrange recovery from a suitable location.

Insurance Or Garage Drop-Off

If your insurer, garage or mechanic has told you where the vehicle needs to go, we can recover it to the agreed destination.

Accident-Damaged Vans And EVs

We can help with accident recovery for cars, vans, motorcycles and electric vehicles, depending on the damage, access and vehicle size.
