Towing Service
Accident Recovery Hobart
After an accident the priority is safety. Accident recovery covers vehicles that are damaged, undrivable or unsafe to move under their own power, including those with structural, wheel or suspension damage. The aim is to remove the vehicle carefully and transport it to a repairer, compound or other agreed location.
