Tow truck Dublin: our trucks and recent jobs

Cameron sent us these photos from recent Recovery CC jobs around Dublin. Nothing here is a stock picture. Number plates, and the names and phone numbers of other firms on the vehicles we carried, are blurred.

Every job on this page started the same way: a phone call with a name, a registration and two Eircodes, and a price agreed before the tow truck moved. Tap any photo to see it full size.
