Vauxhall Combo Recovery Edinburgh – Vandalised Hire Van Transported to Bodyshop
Not every vehicle recovery is caused by a mechanical breakdown. This Vauxhall Combo hire van required recovery in Edinburgh after being damaged and vandalised while out on hire.
With the vehicle needing professional assessment before repairs could be carried out, Falkirk Recovery was called to collect the Combo and safely transport it by flatbed to a local bodyshop in Edinburgh.
Recovery Summary
Vehicle: Vauxhall Combo
Incident: Damage / vandalism while out on hire
Collection: Edinburgh
Destination: Local Edinburgh bodyshop
Service: Damaged vehicle recovery & bodyshop transport
Recovery vehicle: 7.5-tonne flatbed recovery truck
What Happened?
The Vauxhall Combo had been damaged and vandalised while being used as a hire vehicle.
Once the vehicle was returned, it needed to be professionally assessed to establish the extent of the damage and what repairs would be required.
Rather than risk driving a damaged vehicle, recovery was arranged to transport the Combo directly to a local bodyshop.
Falkirk Recovery attended in Edinburgh, loaded the van onto our flatbed recovery truck and prepared it for safe transport.
Vauxhall Combo Recovery in Edinburgh
When a vehicle has been vandalised or damaged, it's not always immediately obvious whether it's safe to drive.
Damage can potentially affect more than the exterior appearance of a vehicle, particularly if windows, steering components, wheels, tyres or other parts have been targeted.
Flatbed recovery means the vehicle doesn't need to be driven to the repairer.
The Vauxhall Combo was loaded onto our recovery truck and securely transported through Edinburgh to the bodyshop for further assessment.
Vandalised Vehicle Recovery
Vandalism can leave private, commercial and hire vehicles needing recovery even when the engine itself is still operational.
Falkirk Recovery can assist with damaged vehicles following incidents such as:
Vandalism
Attempted theft
Bodywork damage
Broken windows
Damaged wheels or tyres
Accident damage
Suspension damage
Vehicles considered unsafe to drive
Where the extent of the damage is uncertain, transporting the vehicle by flatbed can avoid adding further risk or damage.
Hire Vehicle Recovery in Edinburgh
For a hire company, having a vehicle off the road means lost availability as well as repair costs.
Getting a damaged vehicle from its current location to a repairer quickly helps begin the assessment and repair process as soon as possible.
This Vauxhall Combo was therefore transported directly to a local Edinburgh bodyshop, where the damage could be inspected and the necessary repairs arranged.
Falkirk Recovery can provide recovery and vehicle movements for rental companies, fleet operators, garages, bodyshops and other motor-trade businesses throughout Central Scotland.
