When a vehicle has been involved in an accident or suffers damage that makes it unsafe to drive, arranging professional transport to a repairer is often the safest option.

Falkirk Recovery recently carried out an accident recovery in Edinburgh involving this Peugeot 5008. The damaged vehicle was collected in Edinburgh and safely transported to a local bodyshop for assessment and repair.

What Happened?

We were called to assist with a damaged Peugeot 5008 in Edinburgh.

As shown in the photographs, the vehicle had sustained visible damage around the front passenger-side wheel and bodywork. Rather than risk further damage by driving the vehicle, recovery was arranged so it could be transported directly to a local bodyshop.

Our recovery truck was dispatched to Edinburgh, where the Peugeot was safely loaded and secured before being transported to the repair centre for a full professional assessment.

Professional Accident Recovery in Edinburgh

Following an accident, damage isn't always limited to what can immediately be seen.

Damage around a wheel, suspension or bodywork can potentially affect the vehicle's roadworthiness, which is why professional accident recovery in Edinburgh can be a much safer option than attempting to continue driving.

Falkirk Recovery can collect accident-damaged vehicles from homes, roadsides, workplaces, garages, storage compounds and other locations before transporting them to the customer's preferred bodyshop, garage or assessment centre.

For this Peugeot 5008, our flatbed recovery vehicle allowed the car to be transported without relying on it being driven to the repairer.

Safe Transport to the Bodyshop

Once loaded, the Peugeot 5008 was properly secured to the recovery bed for transport.

The vehicle was then taken to a local Edinburgh bodyshop where the damage could be inspected and the required repairs determined.

This type of job is a good example of why our service goes beyond emergency breakdown recovery. We regularly provide vehicle transport and accident recovery for damaged vehicles that need moved between customers, garages, bodyshops, insurers and assessment centres.
