At the monment I have done nothing on the car but soon I will paint its back where you can see the rusts and also will do full service on it on monday :)

So if anyone need and recovery service let me know :yes:
 
Good luck with it mate! Just remember the service is everything and word of mouth goes a long long way.
 
Updates just get a trade insurance for the recovery.

Here is few pictures of the car so far I colour the rush bits and also get the red/white stickers for it :)

London but I can do pick from anywhere in Uk to bring it to London or around london :)
 
Cool mate. It is a 2 wheeler at the back? What max load can you get on it?
Do you need driving license cat B or higher?
Will be looking for similar option soon but was thinking about going 4x4 + trailer route.
Personal use only though.

Mix load its 3.5 tons and I have my standard license.
 
Just update get my S4 on the back of the recovery and took it to Aidan for some paint work and I droped the car to Aidan today and the recovery was very nice pulled with every gear and I was amazed seeing it going 60-70 MPH and my S4 on back of it :) which weights around 1650 - 1700KG :)
 
I'm from West London Nez. If i ever need a truck (hopefully i won't lol) i'll bear you in mind! My mechanic is based in Park Royal near Ace Cafe. Virdee Autos?

Good luck with the business!
 
a word for the wise, make sure the winch is strong and well bolted to the truck, i see a winch get ripped off a truck once and it ended in tears when it landed on the bonnet of the car it was loading,

otherwise, good luck, well done, you can always specialise in Audi Quattros as they cant be spec lifted, flat beds only!

The Winch I have on the recovery is very strong and well bolted to the recovery and it pulled my S4 very smooth without any problems so I hope I don't get that sort of problem with my Winch :)
