Non-runner vehicle recovery: separating starting faults from movement problems
What needs checking
Battery condition, neutral selection, parking-brake release, steering lock and tyre condition are relevant.
Collection and handover
The operator plans loading without relying on the engine running and confirms any aids needed to move the vehicle.
Useful details for your call
State whether it rolls, steers and brakes, whether keys are present and how long it has stood.
Non-runner vehicle recovery: questions and answers
Can a vehicle stored for years be collected?
Describe flat tyres, seized brakes, access and visible deterioration. An assessment may be needed before suitable equipment can be confirmed.
Does non-running automatically mean winching?
No. The vehicle and location determine the loading method; the operator must assess it.
What affects the quotation for non-runner vehicle recovery?
Seized components, missing keys, access and required loading aids influence price. A quotation should confirm the agreed collection, loading and transport scope before work is arranged.
