We also understand that turning up in a recovery truck with dual controls and L-plates on show can feel a bit exposed, especially with a pupil still in the car. We try to keep things calm and straightforward so you can focus on reassuring your pupil while we deal with the vehicle.

Why a New Oscott 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 New Oscott every day, so the routing, the storage point and the authorised-caller list can all be set up once and reused. Which is why locals ring us rather than a national line. Loading on A453 Jockey Road needs a safe run-off; near Sutton Coldfield College that usually means the side road. If you are unsure of the postcode, B73 plus a landmark such as Jockey Road is enough. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck.
- •Standing route plan in via M6 J6 then A453 Jockey Road
- •Named default garage or depot in the B73 area
- •Agreed authorisation rules so drivers are not left waiting
- •Consolidated monthly invoicing across West Midlands jobs

The practical bit
This page is for people who need instructors specifically in New Oscott — not a generic Birmingham page.
