Hodge Hill high value: cover for operators in B36
Hodge Hill businesses inside B36 get a named contact, agreed rates and 24-hour cover. Owners and collectors of classic, modified or prestige cars needing careful, low-risk transport. Everything runs off our own trucks on the Birmingham City Council rota. Ask three people in Hodge Hill where the A47 Bromford Lane is and you get three routes; the driver only needs one that fits a truck. 10 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. If you are unsure of the postcode, B36 plus a landmark such as the A47 Bromford Lane is enough. Fuel type matters before we tow: EVs and hybrids from B36 go on the deck, not on a rope.

We're used to loading vehicles that need particular care, whether that's due to their ride height, their value, or simply their age, and we'll always talk through the best method with you before we start.
Why a Hodge Hill 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 Hodge Hill every day, so the routing, the storage point and the authorised-caller list can all be set up once and reused. Locals give directions by the A47 Bromford Lane; we plan by A47 Bromford Lane and the postcode B36. That approach is why Hodge Hill repeat callers ask for the same driver. Trade sites we visit most: Bromford industrial estate and Bromford industrial estate. Deliveries usually go to a garage in Hodge Hill or across to Washwood Heath, whichever you nominate.

How the service works for you
Classics and older vehicles
Older vehicles sometimes have quirks – tired brakes, non-standard parts, or simply age-related fragility. We treat every classic with a level of care that reflects what it means to the owner, not just its market value.
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

Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Hodge Hill?

No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Hodge Hill on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.

Yes, we're mindful of both physical care and discretion when transporting prestige vehicles.
Are you insured to move my vehicle across West Midlands?
Yes. Goods-in-transit and recovery operator liability are in force for every movement, whether it is two streets in B36 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Before you call from B36
Nothing on this page changes if you ring at 3am. Same desk, same rota, same pricing across B36. Most of Hodge Hill is local shopping parades, which decides more about a recovery than the fault does. Nothing about a B36 job is guesswork by the time we arrive. A 5-mile run into the centre is sometimes slower than a longer route round. Neighbouring cover runs to Washwood Heath, Stechford, Castle Bromwich, all on the same rota.
