Falkirk Recovery recently provided Car Recovery Edinburgh for a Ford Kuga after the vehicle suffered suspension and wheel damage, leaving it requiring professional recovery.

With the Kuga unable to continue its journey safely, we attended in Edinburgh with our 7.5-tonne tilt-and-slide recovery truck. The vehicle was carefully loaded, secured and transported to a local repair centre for a full assessment and the necessary repairs.

This recovery demonstrates why professional vehicle transport is important when suspension or wheel damage makes a vehicle unsafe to drive.


Car Recovery Edinburgh After Suspension Damage

Suspension and wheel damage can quickly make a vehicle unsafe or impossible to drive.

Even when a damaged vehicle can still move under its own power, continuing to drive may worsen the damage or affect the vehicle's steering, braking and stability.

For this Ford Kuga, Car Recovery Edinburgh was the safest option. Rather than risk driving the damaged SUV any further, Falkirk Recovery transported it on the recovery truck directly to a repair centre.


Ford Kuga Recovery in Edinburgh

When we arrived, the Ford Kuga was prepared for loading onto our tilt-and-slide recovery truck.

Recovering a vehicle with suspected suspension or wheel damage requires additional care because the vehicle may not roll, steer or track normally.

Our recovery equipment allows damaged and non-running vehicles to be safely loaded without relying on them being driven onto the truck.

Once positioned correctly, the Ford Kuga was securely strapped to the recovery bed ready for transportation.


Car Recovery Edinburgh for Suspension & Wheel Damage

Damage around a vehicle's wheel or suspension can involve several different components, and the full extent isn't always obvious at the roadside.

Potentially affected components can include the wheel, tyre, suspension arms, steering components, hub and associated mounting points.

For that reason, arranging Car Recovery Edinburgh and having the vehicle properly inspected is often preferable to attempting to drive a car with significant wheel or suspension damage.

We transported this Kuga directly to a local repair centre where the damage could be properly assessed before repairs were carried out.


SUV & 4x4 Car Recovery Edinburgh

The Ford Kuga is a larger vehicle than a typical hatchback, which makes having the correct recovery equipment particularly important.

Falkirk Recovery operates a 7.5-tonne tilt-and-slide recovery truck, allowing us to recover a wide variety of vehicles including:

  • Cars and hatchbacks

  • Ford Kuga and similar SUVs

  • 4x4 vehicles

  • Electric and hybrid vehicles

  • Prestige vehicles

  • Accident-damaged vehicles

  • Non-running vehicles

  • Larger vans

This gives customers looking for Car Recovery Edinburgh access to a recovery vehicle capable of handling considerably more than just small cars.


Damaged Vehicle Recovery in Edinburgh

Not every recovery involves a mechanical breakdown.

We regularly assist vehicles that have suffered accident damage, damaged suspension, wheel problems, punctures and other faults that make them unsuitable to continue driving.

If you're unsure whether a damaged vehicle is safe to drive, transporting it to a garage or repair centre removes the need to risk causing further damage by driving it.

We can collect the vehicle and take it to your garage, bodyshop or repair centre of choice.
