Washwood Heath prestige recovery - low-loader, soft straps
Prestige transport with the approach angle and paperwork to match - Porsche, AMG, RS, M, JLR.
Washwood Heath sees enough prestige metal that a proper recovery outfit is worth having on speed dial. We move Porsche, AMG, RS, M cars and Range Rovers on a low-loader with soft axle straps - never wheel baskets on a lowered car.
