Three connected stages
From the accident record to a safe return to licensed work
The full generic process lives on the national service page. This page stays focused on the Ilford facts that change evidence, access or coordination.
- 1
Record the commercial relationships
Identify the driver, keeper, owner or finance interest, licensing authority, operator, insurer and present vehicle location separately.
- 2
Coordinate the damaged working vehicle
Qualifying recovery, assessment, authority and repair updates stay on one chronology, including the dates the vehicle stopped and resumed work.
- 3
Check replacement and return requirements
A replacement depends on licence, insurance, operator acceptance, need, stock and supplier terms. Repair completion does not replace any authority or operator check.
Clear responsibility
What Sterling coordinates—and what another party decides
Sterling coordinates

Liability, policy cover, engineering method, repair authority, licensing, supplier acceptance and vehicle availability remain with the responsible organisation.
No invented local promise
No branch, named repairer, response time, result, review, network capacity or automatic free service is implied by this Ilford page.
