National coordination. Practical recovery expertise.

Nationwide Assistance Group brings together recovery operators, group businesses and associated services around each client’s requirements. We work to your instructions and coordinate the response around the vehicle, the incident and the people affected.

CARS, VANS & MOTORCYCLES

Light Vehicle Recovery

A breakdown or collision can leave a vehicle unable to continue its journey. Nationwide Assistance Group coordinates recovery for motorcycles, cars, vans and light commercial vehicles, taking account of the vehicle’s condition, location and the people affected.

The arrangements consider access, clearance, whether the vehicle can steer or roll, and any relevant handling instructions. From roadside collection to an agreed repairer, storage location or onward destination, clear communication keeps the next stage coordinated.

  • Breakdown and accident recovery
  • Appropriate loading, lifting or winching arrangements
  • Customer updates and onward movement

HGVs, BUSES & COACHES

Heavy Vehicle Recovery

Larger vehicles bring different recovery requirements. Heavy goods vehicles, buses, coaches and other commercial vehicles need a response shaped around their weight, configuration, load, condition and incident location.

Nationwide Assistance Group coordinates an appropriate operator and recovery approach through group businesses and the wider network. Requirements may include lifting, winching, uprighting or onward transportation, with incident information and access assessed before arrangements are agreed.

  • Commercial vehicle breakdowns and collision recovery
  • Bus and coach recovery requirements
  • Complex access, lifting and onward transportation

CONSIDERED HANDLING FOR SPECIALIST VEHICLES

Prestige & Discreet Recovery

Prestige, classic and specialist vehicles may need additional attention to ground clearance, bodywork, loading points and manufacturer instructions. Understanding those details helps match the recovery approach to the individual vehicle.

Where discretion or enclosed movement is required, this can be discussed as part of the arrangements. The operator, handling method and destination are selected around the requirement, with communication and handover treated as part of the service.

  • Low-clearance and specialist handling requirements
  • Discreet or enclosed movement enquiries
  • Agreed collection, destination and handover instructions

WHEN CONVENTIONAL ACCESS IS LIMITED

Restricted Access & EasTract Recovery

A vehicle in a confined space, with locked wheels or limited ability to move may need a different approach from a straightforward roadside collection. Access routes, turning space, clearance and vehicle condition all form part of the assessment.

Specialist vehicle-handling equipment, including EasTract units where appropriate, can be considered with the operator to help position and move the vehicle. The aim is to agree a suitable handling and loading method around the particular location and instructions.

  • Confined spaces and low-clearance access
  • Non-running vehicles and restricted wheel movement
  • Specialist handling and loading equipment

UNUSUAL VEHICLES & CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES

Specialist Recovery

Some recoveries need a response beyond the usual roadside arrangements. Off-road locations, difficult ground, flood-affected vehicles, unusual vehicle conditions or specialist equipment requirements can all change how the recovery is planned.

Nationwide Assistance Group brings together the appropriate expertise and equipment through group businesses and network operators. Electric and hybrid vehicle handling requirements, lifting or winching arrangements, and the next destination are considered around the information available and the instructions received.

  • Off-road, lifting and winching requirements
  • Flood-affected vehicle enquiries
  • Electric, hybrid and other specialist vehicle handling
