Pothole Damage: When a Car Needs Recovery

A severe pothole strike can damage a wheel, tyre, steering or suspension and make continued driving unsafe.

What to do first

Stop safely if the wheel is leaning, tyre is damaged, steering feels abnormal or fluid is leaking.

Information to send with your recovery request

Describe which wheel is affected, whether it can roll and steer, and send photos if possible.

Can ONAGONE collect it?

A damaged or locked wheel can require a different loading method and may not be suitable for ordinary collection. ONAGONE considers vehicles up to 2,600 kg only where actual trailer, vehicle and towing weights meet all plated and legal limits. The vehicle must be suitable for safe loading.
