Need Accident Recovery in Hockley? We're on the Way
In Hockley we mostly help private motorists, insurers, accident management firms, working around Victorian workshops and canal-side warehouses.
Around Hockley we're mostly working with private motorists and insurers, and most calls happen at either end of the working day. The accident recovery we do here isn't quite the same as what we do in an outer suburb — you're closer to the M6 J6 and traffic behaves differently around Hockley Flyover at peak. We plan the route accordingly.
How we handle accident recovery here
Accident Recovery in Hockley usually means one of a few things. The equipment on the truck matters: we bring tilt-and-slide beds with low approach angles and sweeping kit for glass and debris, and we plan access around Victorian workshops which are common here. Worth knowing: leaking fluids need soakage down before loading.
