Roadside Assistance in Ferndown
Roadside assistance deals with faults that do not automatically require a full tow. A discharged 12-volt battery can be tested and jump-started. A puncture can be assessed before deciding whether the vehicle can move safely. Where an alternator has failed, a clutch no longer transmits drive or an engine is overheating, recovery prevents further mechanical damage.
EV & Hybrid Recovery
EV and hybrid recovery requires attention to drivetrain configuration, battery state and manufacturer towing requirements. A flatbed keeps all four wheels clear of the road and is the preferred transport method when an electric vehicle cannot be driven normally. This also suits many automatics and vehicles with transmission faults.
Low-Clearance and Locked-Wheel Vehicles
Low sports cars, modified vehicles and classics need controlled loading angles and secure attachment points. Winching and suitable ramps reduce the risk of bumper, splitter or underbody contact. Locked, seized or accident-damaged wheels can be managed with dollies or lifting equipment instead of dragging the tyres across the road.
