High Value in Marston Green — trade recovery on account
Under Solihull MBC, commercial vehicles in Marston Green run between the Birmingham Airport cargo area, customer sites and the A452 corridor. High Value here is planned around those routes rather than a generic city-wide promise. From the yard it is 14 miles to Marston Green, mostly dual carriageway. Deliveries usually go to a garage in Marston Green or across to Chelmsley Wood, whichever you nominate. Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the Solihull MBC area. Trade sites we visit most: the Birmingham Airport cargo area and the Birmingham Airport cargo area.

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.
The commercial picture in Marston Green
Marston Green is a suburban area under Solihull MBC, with the main commercial concentration at the Birmingham Airport cargo area and movement funnelled along A45 towards M42 J6. Where the Birmingham Airport cargo area units share one access road, we book a slot rather than block it. 14 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Distances we work to here: 14 miles from the Oldbury yard, 8 to the city centre. Loading on A45 needs a safe run-off; near Marston Green railway station that usually means the side road.

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.
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.
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

Access and routing around Marston Green
A suburban area like Marston Green throws up two kinds of recovery: kerbside and yard. Access off A452 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch. Building stock here is mainly Edwardian villas, with 1930s semis on the edges. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck.

Questions from operators in Marston Green
Is there any extra care taken for higher-value vehicles in Marston Green?
Yes, we're mindful of both physical care and discretion when transporting prestige vehicles.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Marston Green?
Not always. For collections from Edwardian villas or a unit near the Birmingham Airport cargo area we can work with a key safe or a nominated contact, provided we have written authority and someone to receive the vehicle at the other end.
What if the vehicle is blocking A45?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near Marston Green railway station is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
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 B37 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Can you transport a lowered or modified car without damaging it in Marston Green?
Yes, we assess ground clearance beforehand and use an appropriate loading method.
Do you handle classic cars that aren't currently running in Marston Green?
Yes, we transport non-runners as well as roadworthy classics.
