Recovery on Residential Streets
Much of SW17 is controlled parking — permit zones, tight terraced streets around Tooting, cars both sides. Our trucks are sized for exactly this, and drivers who work SW17 and SW16 and SW18 every week know which corners a flatbed can actually take.
Booking Modified Cars in SW17
Every SW17 callout runs on powered winch and recovery skates, meaning a tilting flatbed that lifts all four wheels off the road, so there is zero drivetrain wear. Here’s what’s included as standard:
- Low-angle bed & boards
- Soft-strap securing
- Enthusiast operators
- Widebody & aero aware
- Custom-build careful loading
