Gearbox Recovery Falkirk – Rare Volvo V70R Transported to Glasgow Specialist
When a rare Volvo V70R developed an automatic transmission problem that left it unable to drive, the owner contacted Falkirk Recovery for professional gearbox recovery in Falkirk.
The Volvo needed specialist attention, so rather than risk further damage by attempting to drive or tow the vehicle, we arranged safe transportation from Falkirk to Mackie’s Transmission Specialist in Glasgow for assessment of the automatic gearbox fault.
This Gearbox Recovery Falkirk job is a great example of how our tilt-and-slide recovery service can transport non-running, performance and specialist vehicles directly to the garage best equipped to repair them.
Recovery Summary
Vehicle: Volvo V70R

Gearbox Recovery Falkirk – Volvo V70R Automatic Transmission Fault
The Volvo V70R is a rare performance estate, and this particular example had developed an issue with its automatic gearbox that prevented the car from being driven.
With the Volvo immobilised in Falkirk, attempting to drive it to Glasgow wasn't an option.
The owner therefore arranged our Gearbox Recovery Falkirk service to have the vehicle collected and transported safely to a specialist capable of diagnosing the transmission problem.
Using our tilt-and-slide recovery truck meant the Volvo could be carried completely off the road for the journey.
Safely Recovering a Car with an Automatic Gearbox Fault
Automatic transmission problems can leave a vehicle unable to select a gear, unable to move or displaying transmission warnings.
Depending on the nature of the fault, attempting to continue driving could potentially make the problem worse.
For this Volvo V70R, professional recovery meant there was no need to risk driving the vehicle.
The car was carefully loaded onto our recovery truck before being securely strapped down for transportation from Falkirk to Glasgow.
Our flatbed recovery service is particularly useful for vehicles suffering from gearbox, transmission, clutch and drivetrain problems because the recovered vehicle travels with its wheels secured on the truck rather than being towed along the road.
