Recovery support for fleet support across Aston and Birmingham
Aston businesses inside B6 get a named contact, agreed rates and 24-hour cover. Fleet managers, logistics coordinators and small business owners running more than one vehicle. Everything runs off our own trucks on the Birmingham City Council rota. West Midlands pricing is simple from here: 6 miles out, one truck, one visit. For reference, Aston covers B6 and falls under Birmingham City Council in West Midlands. Which matters more in Aston than raw response times ever will. Two-vehicle jobs out of Aston Cross are loaded in one visit where weight allows.

Rather than treating every breakdown as a one-off, we try to build a working relationship with fleet teams so we understand your vehicles, your usual drop-off points and how you like to be updated. That means less explaining every time something goes wrong, and a faster route back to normal running.
Why a Aston 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 Aston every day, so the routing, the storage point and the authorised-caller list can all be set up once and reused. Anything heading out of West Midlands gets strapped for a longer run rather than a two-street shuffle. The two roads that matter locally are A34 Lichfield Road and A38(M) Aston Expressway, with M6 J6 for anything longer. You get an answer about Aston availability on the first call, not after a callback. Night work near Aston Hall is kept quiet and quick — lights down, loaded, gone.
- Standing route plan in via M6 J6 then A34 Lichfield Road
- Named default garage or depot in the B6 area
- Agreed authorisation rules so drivers are not left waiting
- Consolidated monthly invoicing across West Midlands jobs

Setting it up for Aston
1. Call us
Whoever's on the road calls our number directly – no lengthy call centre menus.
2. We assess
We ask what's happened and where the vehicle is, then aim to get someone out to you.
3. Fix or recover
We'll try a roadside fix first; if that's not possible we recover to your chosen location.
4. Report back
You get an update on what happened and where the vehicle has ended up.
How the service works for you
Working across your operating area
Most of our fleet recoveries happen within around 30 miles of our Oldbury base, covering Birmingham, the Black Country, Solihull and Sandwell, but we can also arrange longer transport runs UK-wide when a vehicle needs to go further, such as back to a manufacturer or a specialist repairer.
Minimising downtime
For a single driver, a breakdown is stressful. For a fleet, it's a cost that adds up across every hour a vehicle sits off the road. We aim to get to you promptly and, where a vehicle can be fixed roadside, we'll try that first rather than defaulting straight to a tow.
One point of contact
Whether it's a driver ringing in a panic or an office manager coordinating several vehicles across the region, we keep communication simple. You get a call back with an ETA, a straightforward update once the vehicle's been assessed, and a clear next step – repair, recovery to your chosen garage, or storage if needed.
Neighbouring areas on the same account
Vehicles rarely stay in one postcode. These areas run off the same Birmingham City Council-area rota, with distances from Aston.
Access and routing around Aston
Keys, locking wheel nut and paperwork sort out ninety per cent of delays on a Aston collection. That is why the dispatcher asks for the street name in Aston and not just the town. Winching across a verge or a kerb near Spaghetti Junction (M6 J6) needs space we would rather plan for than discover. Nearest larger centre is Birmingham; the yard is 6 miles the other way.

Questions from operators in Aston
Can you set up an account for regular fleet call-outs in Aston?
Yes, we can discuss an arrangement suited to how often you're likely to need us and how you'd prefer to be invoiced.
What if the vehicle is blocking A34 Lichfield Road?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near Aston Hall is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Aston?
Often, but height is the deciding factor. Tell us the level and the clearance on the way in. Where the deck is too low for a truck we use skates to bring the vehicle out to the entrance.
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 B6 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Can you take a vehicle to our own garage rather than a random one in Aston?
Yes, just let us know your preferred garage or depot and we'll aim to recover there.
Do you cover vans as well as cars in Aston?
Yes, we recover cars, vans and light commercials, so most standard fleet vehicles are covered.
Recap for B6
Distance is the easy part — 6 miles. The variable is where the vehicle is standing: canal-side industrial units, a yard at Witton, or the kerb on A38(M) Aston Expressway. Tell us that and fleet support becomes a fixed-price job. The quickest way in is M6 J6, then down towards Aston Hall. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck. Distances we work to here: 6 miles from the Oldbury yard, 2 to the city centre. If M6 J6 is queueing, the driver reroutes rather than sitting in it.
From M6 J6 to your street in Aston
Send a pin or name the junction on A38(M) Aston Expressway; we will confirm the ETA on the same call.
