Accident recovery in Park Royal and Willesden.

A van off the road in Park Royal is not an inconvenience, it is lost income for every day it is off. That makes the replacement vehicle question more urgent than usual, and it makes it worth telling us at the first call what the vehicle is used for.

A like-for-like replacement matters here in a way it does not for a second car. A hatchback is not a replacement for a Transit, and we would rather establish that at the start than deliver something you cannot work from.

Trading estate roads are wide enough for lorries but frequently blocked by them. Turning circles are tight, yards are gated, and access sometimes depends on someone on site being available to open up.

Give us the unit number and the access road, and tell us if the site closes or gates at a particular time. That single detail avoids most of the wasted journeys in this area.

The Western Avenue and North Circular meet at the edge of Park Royal, and the surrounding slip roads carry heavy, fast traffic including a great many HGVs. Incidents here are frequently multi-vehicle and often involve significant damage.

Where a vehicle cannot be rolled or winched — which is common with heavier impacts — a Hiab lift is the realistic option rather than a conventional load.
