Smart Recovery Methods
Good recovery is about control, not force. Positioning comes first, followed by a gentle deck angle and a straight, steady winch line; where needed, snatch blocks change the pull to keep the car square. Skates or dollies solve seized wheels, while soft ties and chocks stop movement during deck tilt. The result is a smooth load, a stable ride and a precise drop where your mechanic needs it.

FAQs
What information speeds up a safe recovery?
Accurate location details (landmarks, nearest intersection or a map pin) save time. Mention whether the car selects neutral, if the steering turns and any wheel or brake issues. Note vehicle type (AWD, low clearance, roof racks) and special considerations like dead batteries or immobilisers. Clear info lets the operator bring the right equipment and plan the load path before arrival.
How are cars recovered when the wheels won’t turn?
The goal is to avoid dragging. Operators use controlled winching with skates or dollies under locked wheels so tyres don’t scrub and driveline parts stay protected. A low deck angle reduces break-over risk for spoilers or exhausts. Once on the deck, wheel-net tie-downs and chocks keep the vehicle stable for transport and unloading.
What if the breakdown is on a busy road or tight carpark?
Safety and positioning come first. The truck will set up with hazard lighting, then establish a straight, predictable winch line to avoid lateral pull. In tight access areas, small deck adjustments and staged winching bring the vehicle aboard without contact with walls, bollards or kerbs. Expect a deliberate, step-by-step load rather than a rushed lift.
