Cradley Heath operators: dealerships 4 miles from base
The difference between a good and bad recovery for a Cradley Heath 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. It is the difference between covering West Midlands and actually working it. Gated yards at Anchor industrial estate often have a height barrier; a gate code saves ten minutes. Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the Sandwell MBC area. Second road option if A459 is blocked: A4036.
- M5 J2
- A459
- Forge trading estate
Dealerships rarely need a single vehicle moved once and forgotten – there's stock coming from auction, part-exchanges going to trade, customer cars being delivered, and the occasional transfer between branches. We help dealers across Birmingham and the Black Country keep vehicles moving without tying up a member of staff for half a day.
The commercial picture in Cradley Heath
Cradley Heath is a industrial area under Sandwell MBC, with the main commercial concentration at Forge trading estate and movement funnelled along A459 towards M5 J2. Every Cradley Heath job starts with two questions: where exactly, and can the vehicle roll? It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point. Building stock here is mainly Victorian terraces, with Victorian terraces on the edges. Loading on A459 needs a safe run-off; near Cradley Heath railway station that usually means the side road.

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.
Customer delivery
For customers who've bought a car but aren't local, or simply prefer it delivered, we can transport the vehicle directly to their door as part of a smoother sales experience.
- Careful handling and loading
- Delivery notes and condition checks on request
- Flexible collection times around forecourt hours
- Local moves and UK-wide transport available
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.

Access and routing around Cradley Heath
A industrial area like Cradley Heath throws up two kinds of recovery: kerbside and yard. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up. Overnight, most work here is on Victorian terraces rather than main roads. Access off A4036 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch.

Can you collect from auction on our behalf in Cradley Heath?
Yes, we regularly collect vehicles from auction houses and deliver them straight to your forecourt.
