Sheldon's Local Choice for Accident Recovery
In Sheldon we mostly help private motorists, insurers, accident management firms, working around business parks and roadside hotels.
Around Sheldon 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 J6 and traffic behaves differently around Birmingham Airport nearby at peak. We plan the route accordingly.
How we handle accident recovery here
Accident Recovery in Sheldon 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 business parks which are common here. Worth knowing: airbags deployed usually means the car is going straight to storage or salvage.
