Accident Recovery in Longbridge — 24/7 Callout
In Longbridge we mostly help private motorists, insurers, accident management firms, working around converted factory units and modern retail sheds.
Around Longbridge 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 M42 J1 and traffic behaves differently around the former MG Rover works at peak. We plan the route accordingly.
How we handle accident recovery here
Accident Recovery in Longbridge 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 converted factory units which are common here. Worth knowing: damaged wheels often mean skates rather than a direct winch.
