Dave Henwood, Managing Director at Fourwinds Garage, says: “The most important thing for us when choosing a new vehicle is reliability, and our experience with Isuzu has shown its trucks will always deliver that. So much so, over the coming years we will be looking to transition the remainder of our 7.5-tonne models to the Isuzu N-Series.
“The chassis is remarkably strong and the body we spec is equally tough; combined they are perfectly suited to the recovery industry. When you factor in the manoeuvrability and small footprint of the Isuzu, it’s simply the right tool for the job given the narrow, winding roads we often find ourselves working on here in Cornwall.”
The low approach slidebed was chosen to facilitate the efficient loading of prestige or sports cars with minimal ground clearance. Working closely with Helen Majeed at J&J Conversions, Fourwinds Garage selected a range of further customisation for the body, including a remote operated winch, chassis mounted lockers and a selection of LED light bars and strobes to increase visibility and safety at the roadside.
The new vehicles feature a mix of manual transmission and Isuzu’s automated Easyshift, meeting the preference of individual drivers. On the road seven days per week, they are expected to clock up around 60,000 miles annually and should remain in the Fourwinds Garage fleet for six years.
All three have been supplied with Isuzu Truck UK’s three-year, unlimited mileage warranty, which includes roadside assistance and is backed by the company’s dedicated Customer CARE programme.
Established in 1988, Fourwinds Garage specialises in roadside recovery and repairs, working with The AA, Green Flag and Brittania Rescue, alongside a full range of additional maintenance, MOT and repair services.
