How we handle accident recovery here
Accident Recovery in Washwood Heath 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 terraces which are common here. Worth knowing: airbags deployed usually means the car is going straight to storage or salvage.
