A road traffic accident can leave a vehicle unsafe or unsuitable to drive, even when some of the damage initially appears cosmetic. Falkirk Recovery was recently called to assist with a Jeep Compass accident recovery in Edinburgh after the SUV had been involved in a collision and required professional transport to a local assessment centre.

The damaged Jeep was safely loaded onto our tilt-and-slide recovery truck before being transported for a full assessment and the necessary repairs.


Recovery Summary

Vehicle: Jeep Compass

Location: Edinburgh

Problem: Accident damage

Service: Accident Recovery & Vehicle Transport

Destination: Local assessment centre

Purpose: Damage assessment and repairs


What Happened?

The Jeep Compass had been involved in an accident in Edinburgh and had sustained visible damage along the side of the vehicle.

Rather than risk driving a damaged vehicle, recovery was arranged so that it could be taken directly to a local assessment centre, where the full extent of the accident damage could be inspected.

Accident damage isn't always limited to what can be seen externally. Steering, suspension, wheels, tyres and other components can potentially be affected following an impact, which is why professional recovery is often the safest option.


Professional Jeep Compass Accident Recovery in Edinburgh

Our tilt-and-slide recovery truck was used to collect the Jeep and keep all four wheels safely off the road during transport.

Once positioned on the recovery bed, the vehicle was securely restrained before leaving the collection point.

Using a flatbed recovery vehicle is particularly useful following an accident because there is no need for the damaged vehicle to travel under its own power.


Safely Transported to an Assessment Centre

Following collection, the Jeep Compass was transported to a local Edinburgh assessment centre.

The vehicle could then be properly inspected so that the accident damage could be assessed and the required repairs arranged.

We regularly transport accident-damaged vehicles to:

  • Bodyshops and accident repair centres

  • Insurance assessment centres

  • Main dealers and independent garages

  • Customer homes and secure storage facilities

  • Specialist repair centres
