Nissan Juke Recovery Edinburgh | Wheel & Suspension Damage
A relatively small impact with a kerb can sometimes be enough to leave a vehicle completely undriveable.
Falkirk Recovery was called to assist with this Nissan Juke in Edinburgh after the driver struck a kerb, resulting in a buckled wheel and suspension damage.
With the vehicle no longer suitable to drive, we safely loaded the Juke onto our tilt-and-slide recovery truck and transported it to a local garage where the damage could be properly assessed.

Nissan Juke Recovery in Edinburgh
The driver had unfortunately hit a kerb in Edinburgh, causing enough damage to the Nissan Juke to prevent it from being safely driven.
The impact had buckled the wheel and caused damage to the suspension, meaning continuing to drive could potentially have caused further damage or created a safety risk.
Falkirk Recovery was contacted to get the vehicle off the road and safely transported to a garage.
Recovering a Vehicle With Wheel or Suspension Damage
Vehicles with damaged wheels or suspension can require more care during recovery than a straightforward mechanical breakdown.
Depending on the extent of the damage, a wheel may no longer rotate or track correctly, and attempting to drive the vehicle onto a recovery truck isn't always appropriate.
Our 7.5-tonne tilt-and-slide recovery truck allows damaged and non-running vehicles to be safely loaded and transported with all four wheels off the road.
Once the Nissan Juke was positioned on the recovery bed, it was securely restrained ready for transport.
Safe Transport to a Local Garage
After loading and securing the Juke, we transported it from Edinburgh to a local garage where the wheel, suspension and surrounding components could be properly inspected.
Impacts with kerbs can sometimes cause more damage than is immediately visible, so having the vehicle assessed before returning it to the road is the sensible option.
