High Value for businesses around Soho in Handsworth
We run high value for operators across the Birmingham City Council area, and Handsworth is one of the patches we cover most often. Between Soho Road and Soho there is enough commercial movement that we keep a truck within reach of B20/B21 on every shift. It is the difference between covering West Midlands and actually working it. Because Handsworth is only 4 miles from base, jobs here are single-truck with no relay. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike. Typical drop points from here: garages in B20, storage in West Midlands, or Perry Barr.

A classic or prestige car isn't something you want dragged around on a standard tow rope, and it isn't something you'd trust to just anyone. Whether it's a low-slung sports car, a modified vehicle with reduced ground clearance, or a genuine classic that's spent years being cared for, we take the extra time these vehicles deserve.
Access and routing around Handsworth
The aim is a boring recovery — in, loaded, gone. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point. Building stock here is mainly small workshops, with Victorian terraces on the edges. Fuel type matters before we tow: EVs and hybrids from B20/B21 go on the deck, not on a rope.
How the service works for you
Low ground clearance and modified cars
Lowered and modified cars can be damaged by the wrong loading angle or ramp. We use appropriate equipment and take our time to load these vehicles without unnecessary risk.
Local moves and longer journeys
Whether the car's going to a specialist a few miles away or needs transporting further afield to a show, sale or new owner, we can arrange the journey with the same level of care throughout.
Prestige and high-value cars
For higher-value vehicles, we understand the concern isn't just cosmetic damage but also security and discretion during transport.
- Careful assessment before loading
- Suitable equipment for low or modified vehicles
- Transport for non-runners and show cars
- Discretion for higher-value vehicles

Questions from operators in Handsworth
Can you transport a lowered or modified car without damaging it in Handsworth?
Yes, we assess ground clearance beforehand and use an appropriate loading method.
Can you get a transporter into Soho?
Usually yes, but tell us the unit and gate before we set off. Some yards around Soho have height barriers or a tight turning circle, in which case we bring the spec-lift and winch out to the access road instead.
What does high value cost in Handsworth?
We quote a flat figure on the phone based on the actual distance, the vehicle and the access. At roughly 4 miles from base, Handsworth is a local job — no per-mile meter, no call-out fee bolted on afterwards.
Can you transport a classic car to a show or event in Handsworth?
Yes, we can arrange transport to shows, sales or specialist events, locally or further afield.
Is there any extra care taken for higher-value vehicles in Handsworth?
Yes, we're mindful of both physical care and discretion when transporting prestige vehicles.
Is Handsworth closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 4 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 3 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.
