Real-World Scenario
Suspension collapse? Hitting a pothole or kerb can break springs, shock absorbers, or control arms — making the vehicle undrivable and dangerous. We recover vehicles with suspension damage carefully, ensuring no further body or mechanical damage during loading.
What NOT to Do
Never try to tow a broken-down vehicle with a rope unless you know the exact procedure — incorrect towing can cause steering lock, transmission damage, or a collision.
