FAQs — LCV recovery in Bordesley Green
VAT invoice for the recovery in Bordesley Green?
Yes - included on request.
Tipper stuck in the up position in Bordesley Green - can you recover it?
Yes but the bed has to come down first. We carry a hand pump and know the emergency descent procedure on the main tipper makes. If it will not come down we flatbed with the bed supported.
Loaded LCV over plated weight in Bordesley Green?
We arrange a partial transfer to another vehicle first. We will not carry an overweight LCV - it puts our operator licence at risk.
Commercial vehicle recovery contract for Bordesley Green depots?
Yes - fixed rates by postcode, single invoice per week. Ring the office to set up.
