Common Questions From Cambridge (CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4 and CB5) Drivers
Can your Cambridge recovery trucks load a locked car with no keys?
Modern keyless-entry cars in Cambridge (CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4 and CB5) occasionally refuse to recognise the fob due to immobiliser or BCM faults; we can either test the 12V battery or skate-load the locked vehicle onto our recovery deck in CB1–CB5.
Can you recover a car with a shredded tyre or cracked alloy in Cambridge (CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4 and CB5)?
Even if two tyres have blown on the same side after hitting a kerb or pothole in Cambridge (CB1–CB5), our driver can use wheel skates (+£20–£35 if the hub won’t roll) to load the car without further rim damage.
How do you load a broken-down electric vehicle in Cambridge (CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4 and CB5)?
Dragging an electric or hybrid car in Cambridge can ruin the drivetrain, which is why we only use full four-wheel flatbed transport across CB1–CB5, complete with heavy-duty wheel skates for immobilised axles.
Do you handle collision and accident-damaged vehicle recovery in Cambridge (CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4 and CB5)?
When booking accident recovery in Cambridge (CB1–CB5), tick ‘Any Wheel Damage: Yes’ and ‘Does the Vehicle Roll: No’ on Step 2 of our calculator if the suspension or steering is compromised so we bring our full skate and snatch-block kit.
