Falkirk Recovery was recently called to carry out a Nissan Juke Accident Recovery Edinburgh after the vehicle was involved in an accident which caused significant damage to the wheels, tyres and suspension.

The impact left the Juke with two badly damaged wheels and tyres, along with suspected suspension damage, meaning the vehicle was no longer safe or suitable to drive.

We attended the vehicle in Edinburgh, carefully loaded the damaged Nissan onto our tilt-and-slide recovery truck and transported it directly to a local repair centre for a full assessment and repairs.

Nissan Juke Accident Recovery Edinburgh

Following the accident, the Nissan Juke had suffered enough damage that attempting to drive the vehicle any further wasn't an option.

Two of the wheels and tyres had been badly damaged, while the impact had also affected the vehicle's suspension.

With this type of damage, simply replacing a tyre at the roadside isn't necessarily enough. Damage to suspension, steering components, wheel alignment or other parts may not always be immediately obvious.

The safest option was therefore Nissan Juke Accident Recovery Edinburgh, keeping the damaged vehicle completely off the road while it was transported for professional inspection.

Recovering a Vehicle with Suspension & Wheel Damage

Accident-damaged vehicles can require considerably more care than a normal breakdown recovery.

When a wheel or suspension component is damaged, the vehicle may not roll or steer normally. Trying to force the vehicle to move can potentially cause further damage.

For this Nissan Juke, we carefully positioned the vehicle on our tilt-and-slide recovery truck before securing it for transport.

The photos also show why professional recovery equipment matters. With significant tyre and wheel damage, the Juke needed to be transported rather than driven to the repair centre.

Once safely secured, we transported the vehicle directly to the customer's chosen repairer for further assessment.

Why You Shouldn't Drive with Suspension or Wheel Damage

After hitting a kerb or being involved in an accident, a vehicle can sometimes appear more driveable than it actually is.

Damage can potentially affect the wheel, tyre, suspension, steering or alignment, and continuing to drive may make the damage worse or compromise the vehicle's safety.

If a wheel is badly damaged, a tyre has lost pressure or the suspension doesn't look or feel right, arranging professional recovery is usually the safer option.

In this case, recovering the Juke meant the vehicle could reach the repair centre without risking further damage.
