Castle Bromwich classic car recovery - soft ramps, careful winch
Classic car transport that treats the underbody like the fragile thing it is - soft ramps, winch not push.
Classic cars in Castle Bromwich need a recovery driver who knows the difference between a chassis hook and an outrigger. Our flatbed carries wide soft ramps and we winch every classic on rather than push - because rot and body panels do not forgive shortcuts.
