Real-World Scenario

Car that's been stood on flat tyres for months? Vehicles left on deflated tyres develop flat spots and damaged rims. They can't safely be driven and shouldn't be towed on flat tyres. Our flatbed recovery avoids all further tyre and rim damage.

What NOT to Do

Never try to recover a vehicle from a ditch using another car — the pulling forces involved can damage both vehicles and the tow rope can snap with lethal force.
