Recovery support for dealerships across Birmingham and Edgbaston
The difference between a good and bad recovery for a Birmingham business is rarely the tow itself — it is authorisation, storage and where the vehicle ends up in West Midlands. We agree all three before the first callout. Half the vehicles we lift in Birmingham are within sight of A34. Insurance work from Birmingham gets a written condition record before the straps go on. That approach is why Birmingham repeat callers ask for the same driver. Trade sites we visit most: Aston and Nechells.
- New Street Station
- B1 postcode area
- M6 J6 (Spaghetti Junction)
Because these are vehicles you plan to sell, condition matters. We treat every dealership vehicle with the same care whether it's a five-year-old hatchback or something further up the range, and we're happy to work around your opening hours and preferred collection windows.
Why a Birmingham account differs from a citywide one
A generic Birmingham arrangement treats every postcode the same. Yours does not work that way: your drivers use the same few roads out of Birmingham every day, so the routing, the storage point and the authorised-caller list can all be set up once and reused. Because Edgbaston is next door, a job in Birmingham often pairs with one there on the same shift. Fuel type matters before we tow: EVs and hybrids from B1/B2/B3/B4/B5 go on the deck, not on a rope. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up. Postcode-level cover: B1/B2/B3/B4/B5, plus the ring of areas within a few miles.
- Standing route plan in via M6 J6 (Spaghetti Junction) then A38
- Named default garage or depot in the B1 area
- Agreed authorisation rules so drivers are not left waiting
- Consolidated monthly invoicing across West Midlands jobs

Setting it up for Birmingham
1. Book the move
Tell us where the vehicle is now and where it needs to end up.
2. We confirm timing
We agree a collection window that works around your forecourt.
3. Careful transport
The vehicle is collected and transported with appropriate care.
4. Delivered and confirmed
We let you know once the vehicle has arrived.
How the service works for you
Part-exchange and trade collections
Part-exchange vehicles heading to trade or auction can be collected on a schedule that suits you, rather than sitting on your forecourt taking up space.
Stock transfers between sites
If you run more than one site, or work with a partner dealership, we can move vehicles between locations so stock ends up where it's needed without a salesperson having to drive it themselves.
Paperwork and keys
We know dealership vehicles come with their own admin – keys, V5s, service history. Let us know what needs to travel with the vehicle and we'll make sure it's handled properly.
Neighbouring areas on the same account
Vehicles rarely stay in one postcode. These areas run off the same Birmingham City Council-area rota, with distances from Birmingham.
Access and routing around Birmingham
Roughly 0 miles of city sits between Birmingham and the centre, which is why we approach from M6 J6 (Spaghetti Junction) rather than through it. If M6 J6 (Spaghetti Junction) is queueing, the driver reroutes rather than sitting in it. If you are unsure of the postcode, B1 plus a landmark such as New Street Station is enough. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point.

Questions from operators in Birmingham
What if a vehicle isn't currently running in Birmingham?
That's fine, we transport non-runners as well as roadworthy vehicles.
How quickly can you reach Birmingham?
We are based in Oldbury, about 5 miles away, and come in via M6 J6 (Spaghetti Junction) then A38. Outside peak hours that is a short run; at rush hour add time for the A38 corridor. The dispatcher gives you a real ETA on the call rather than a standard promise.
Which postcodes around Birmingham do you cover?
B1/B2/B3/B4/B5 directly, plus the surrounding Edgbaston, Perry Barr, Smethwick. It all sits inside the Birmingham City Council operating area we work daily, so there is no out-of-area surcharge.
Can you collect from auction on our behalf in Birmingham?
Yes, we regularly collect vehicles from auction houses and deliver them straight to your forecourt.
Do you deliver to customers directly in Birmingham?
Yes, we can deliver sold vehicles to a customer's home or workplace across the UK.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B1?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Birmingham on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
Next step from Birmingham
Most Birmingham jobs end at a garage in B1/B2/B3/B4/B5 or over in Edgbaston. Dealerships is quoted door to door, including the return leg to West Midlands storage if that is what you need. A 5-mile approach means the truck arrives with fuel, kit and space still on the deck. Nearest larger centre is Edgbaston; the yard is 5 miles the other way. One rota covers Birmingham, Edgbaston, Perry Barr, Smethwick and the rest of the Birmingham City Council area. Access notes get saved against your address, so the second Birmingham callout is faster than the first.
