Modern driving is changing. With the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and sophisticated automatic transmissions, the way we handle breakdowns has to change too. If you’re driving an EV or an automatic, you can’t just rely on a standard tow—you need specialized breakdown recovery.
At Recovery56, we understand the technical requirements of modern vehicles. Here is why you should choose professional recovery services when your high-tech vehicle lets you down.
The Challenges of Recovering Modern Vehicles
- Why Automatic Cars Need Special Care
Many drivers don’t realize that towing an automatic car incorrectly can cause severe, permanent damage to the transmission. If the drive wheels are left on the ground while being towed, the lack of lubrication can destroy the gearbox.
Our Solution: We use flatbed recovery equipment to ensure your automatic vehicle is lifted completely off the road, protecting your transmission from start to finish.
- The Unique Needs of Electric Vehicles (EVs)
Electric vehicles are heavy and rely on complex battery management systems. If an EV runs out of charge or experiences a fault, it cannot simply be “jumpstarted” like a traditional petrol car. Furthermore, dragging an EV with its wheels on the ground can trigger regenerative braking systems, causing further damage.
Our Solution: Our team is trained in the safe handling of electric vehicles, ensuring they are transported according to manufacturer guidelines.
