Edgbaston operators: dealerships 4 miles from base
Fleet downtime in Edgbaston is measured in shifts, not miles. With the yard 4 miles away and access in via M5 J3, we build cover around the way your vehicles actually move through B15/B16. Anything within B15/B16 is dispatched from the same rota as Birmingham, Halesowen, Kings Heath. The two roads that matter locally are A4540 Middleway and A4540 Middleway, with M5 J3 for anything longer. Where the vehicle sits behind a barrier at Five Ways commercial area, a gate code beats a phone call. The result is an honest ETA rather than a comfortable one.

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.
Access and routing around Edgbaston
A recovery in Edgbaston is a short job done properly, not a long job done fast. For reference, Edgbaston covers B15/B16 and falls under Birmingham City Council in West Midlands. That is why the dispatcher asks for the street name in Edgbaston and not just the town. Access notes get saved against your address, so the second Edgbaston callout is faster than the first.
How the service works for you
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.
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
