Car Accident in Bairnsdale
Getting your car off the road
Accident damaged cars are carried flat on the tilt tray, so a car that will not roll or steer can still be moved without more damage.
Tell me where it needs to go: your panel beater, your insurer’s assessor, a holding yard or home. If you are not sure yet, I can hold it until your insurer decides.
