What we do
SV Transport gets vehicles off the road and to where they need to be, then helps put right whatever stopped them.
Most of the calls SV Transport takes are about moving a vehicle that can't move itself. A car that won't start on the drive. One that has stopped at the side of the road. A vehicle damaged in an accident, or a non-runner that needs taking to a new home.
What makes SV Transport different is what can happen next. Rather than leaving you to find a garage, the vehicle can be inspected and, where it's needed, repaired by the same business that recovered it. That keeps things simple: one number, one conversation, one point of contact.
Our approach
Three things SV Transport does, in order of priority
Recovery and transport come first. Mechanical repairs are there to support customers whose vehicle needs work once it has been recovered.
Vehicle transport
Moving vehicles from one place to another, including collection and delivery. Useful for non-runners, purchases, project cars and vehicles going to or from a garage.
Repair support
Timing belts and chains, clutches, engine replacement, crash damage repairs and engine servicing, for vehicles that need work after they're recovered.
The recovery-to-repair journey
What happens from your first call
Every vehicle is different, so this is the general shape of things. You'll always know what's happening before it happens.
Your vehicle needs help
It's broken down, been in an accident, or just needs to be moved.
You get in touch
Call or WhatsApp with the vehicle, its location and its condition.
Recovery
We discuss and arrange recovery of the vehicle.
Transport
The vehicle goes where you need it, including our workshop.
Inspection & repair
If it needs mechanical work, we discuss the repair with you first.
Accident and damaged vehicles
When a vehicle can't safely be driven
After an accident, or when a vehicle has damage that makes it unsafe to drive, the first job is getting it moved. SV Transport takes enquiries about recovering and transporting damaged vehicles, and about crash damage repairs afterwards.
Make sure everyone is safe first. If anyone is injured, or the vehicle is blocking the road or causing a hazard, call 999 before anything else.
When you contact SV Transport, it helps to send photos of the damage and the vehicle's location on WhatsApp.
Mechanical repair support
Recovered vehicles don't need to be handed on
Once a vehicle has been recovered, SV Transport can help with the mechanical work it needs. Services include:
- Timing belt replacement
- Timing chain replacement
- Clutch replacement
- Engine replacement
- Crash damage repairs
- Engine servicing
