Recovery support for dealerships across Bournville and Selly Oak
Fleet downtime in Bournville is measured in shifts, not miles. With the yard 8 miles away and access in via M5 J4, we build cover around the way your vehicles actually move through B30. There is no such thing as a standard Bournville recovery, only a standard way of planning one. Nearest larger centre is Selly Oak; the yard is 8 miles the other way. Nothing about a B30 job is guesswork by the time we arrive. A 4-mile run into the centre is sometimes slower than a longer route round.

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.
The commercial picture in Bournville
Bournville is a residential area under Birmingham City Council, with the main commercial concentration at the Bournville Lane factory site and movement funnelled along A441 towards M5 J4. Same rota, same drivers, same 8-mile run every time. Units around the Bournville Lane factory site are the busiest commercial pickup points on this patch. One rota covers Bournville, Selly Oak, Northfield, Cotteridge and the rest of the Birmingham City Council area. Winching across a verge or a kerb near Bournville railway station needs space we would rather plan for than discover.

How the service works for you
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.
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.
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.

Vehicles rarely stay in one postcode. These areas run off the same Birmingham City Council-area rota, with distances from Bournville.
Access and routing around Bournville
A recovery in Bournville is a short job done properly, not a long job done fast. The Birmingham City Council restrictions along A441 affect where a truck can legally stop. Damaged vehicles from Bournville normally go straight to an approved repairer in West Midlands. You get an answer about Bournville availability on the first call, not after a callback.

What does dealerships cost in Bournville?

That's fine, we transport non-runners as well as roadworthy vehicles.

Yes, we can deliver sold vehicles to a customer's home or workplace across the UK.
Can you get a transporter into the Bournville Lane factory site?
Usually yes, but tell us the unit and gate before we set off. Some yards around the Bournville Lane factory site have height barriers or a tight turning circle, in which case we bring the spec-lift and winch out to the access road instead.
Dealerships in Bournville: the short version
Bournville sits in B30 under Birmingham City Council, roughly 8 miles from our Oldbury yard and 4 from the city centre. Dealerships here usually means working around model-village housing and access off A441, so we plan the truck before it leaves. Kerb heights on A38 Bristol Road decide whether we winch or drive on. On tight Arts and Crafts cottages we bring skates rather than argue with a turning circle. That approach is why Bournville repeat callers ask for the same driver. Building stock here is mainly model-village housing, with Arts and Crafts cottages on the edges.
