One rota covers Marston Green, Solihull, Kingshurst, Chelmsley Wood and the rest of the Solihull MBC area.

A driving instructor's car isn't just a vehicle, it's the whole business, often booked out lesson after lesson with little downtime. If it breaks down mid-lesson, you've got a nervous pupil, a missed booking, and a knock-on effect on the rest of your day. We aim to make that situation as painless as possible.
Access and routing around Marston Green
Solihull MBC covers this patch, and Marston Green itself is a suburban area rather than a single high street. Neighbouring cover runs to Solihull, Kingshurst, Chelmsley Wood, all on the same rota. Nothing about a B37 job is guesswork by the time we arrive. A spec-lift handles most of it; the tilt-and-slide comes out for lowered, damaged or non-rolling vehicles.

We know a breakdown can be unsettling for a learner, particularly if it happens somewhere unfamiliar. We'll help make sure your pupil is safe and comfortable while we sort out the car.

If it's a simple fault, we'll try to sort it at the roadside so the lesson can carry on or you can at least get the pupil home without further drama.
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 A452 towards M42 J6. Marston Green is close enough to base that we quote it as a local run, not a distance job. Everything inside B37 is priced the same way, day or night. Parked-both-sides streets around 1930s semis are the usual constraint rather than distance. Marston Green is a suburban area, so day and night jobs look quite different.

Marston Green at a glance
Distance is the easy part — 14 miles. The variable is where the vehicle is standing: 1930s semis, a yard at the Birmingham Airport cargo area, or the kerb on A45. Tell us that and instructors becomes a fixed-price job. If the job is close to Solihull, dropping there can be quicker than returning to Marston Green. Because Marston Green is only 14 miles from base, jobs here are single-truck with no relay. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves.
