Repatriation of a vehicle means - ensuring the rapid arrival of roadside assistance that carries out the necessary actions to transport a damaged or malfunctioning vehicle to a workshop or parking lot. Round-the-clock roadside assistance in Sofia is ready to help drivers solve any problems with transporting a broken or damaged car.

The preparation of damaged vehicles in repatriation consists of the following activities: allowing the vehicle to be loaded onto the platform of a tow truck or by partial loading. Before loading the vehicle, the tow truck driver shall assess the extent of damage to the vehicle and the transportability of the vehicle. Damaged vehicles are classified as transportable, easily transportable and difficult to transport.

1. Vehicles to be transported may be towed by means of a soft or rigid drawbar, subject to the rules of the road, and if the failure or damage to the vehicle is unrelated to its chassis and steering. A vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission (automatic gearbox) may be towed no more than 20 kilometres, at a speed not exceeding 40 km/h, with the automatic gearbox in neutral.

2. Easily transportable vehicles are those that can be charged in no more than 30 minutes. With minor damage to undercarriage and steering.

3. Difficult to transport vehicles include those that can only be towed on a towing platform using the full load method.

The recovery of overturned and stranded vehicles must be organised so as not to create an emergency situation on the road. On approaching the scene of an accident, the driver of the repatraka is obliged to switch on the yellow flashing beacon, the emergency lights and to place an emergency stop sign, according to the Traffic Regulations, the distance from the vehicle to the emergency stop sign in a populated area is 15 metres and in an unpopulated area - 30 metres.

The most typical ways to extricate vehicles from emergency situations are:

 - from ditches, ditches, gullies, ditches after a landslide or overturn;

 - Stuck;

 - sunk;

Car towing
Towing vehicles with repatraction and roadside assistance

Here are some techniques when repatriating vehicles in an emergency situation.

1. It is better to tow a car that is stuck partially or completely with the front or rear wheels, using a winch on a tow bar, smoothly, without pulling, trying not to damage the car. In the event of a sideways rollover, it is safer to pull the stranded car out with two towing devices to prevent it from overturning. On slippery roads (snow, rain, ice) when towing a car stuck in a ditch it is often the case that the roadside assistance driver cannot use the maximum traction of the winch hook due to insufficient grip of the wheels on the road. In these cases, the winch must be secured to a tree, post, stump, stake, anchor, etc., the winch's pulling power can be increased by placing the tow vehicle with the front wheels behind a hill, in a hole, etc. , In some cases, drivers of roadside assistance from Naydenovi Auto use a movable block that is incorporated into the winch to increase the pulling force.

2. The lifting (placing on wheels) of overturned vehicles shall be carried out with a winch on a towing vehicle in the following manner:

 (a) attach one end of the winch cable to a rigid structure of the vehicle (frame, bar, axle, beam), if the vehicle is lying front down, the cable shall be attached to a rigid point furthest from the towing vehicle;

 b) it is necessary to pull smoothly, without pulling, in order not to cause deformation of the vehicle;

Proper removal of the vehicle ensures its safety and facilitates quick recovery of damaged structures, components and mechanisms. Naidenov Auto's roadside assistance employees are continually honing their skills and training to carefully and accurately deliver your vehicle to the repair shop or parking lot.
