Fleet Support · New Oscott B73
Recovery support for fleet support across New Oscott and Erdington
Under Birmingham City Council, commercial vehicles in New Oscott run between Jockey Road parades, customer sites and the A38 corridor. Fleet Support here is planned around those routes rather than a generic city-wide promise. The aim is a boring recovery — in, loaded, gone. Loading on A453 Jockey Road needs a safe run-off; near Sutton Coldfield College that usually means the side road. 10 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Postcode-level cover: B73, plus the ring of areas within a few miles.

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.

How the service works for you
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.
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.
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.
Access and routing around New Oscott
Vehicles collected near Sutton Coldfield College are usually loaded from the offside because of the camber. Insurance work from New Oscott gets a written condition record before the straps go on. That approach is why New Oscott repeat callers ask for the same driver. Trade sites we visit most: Jockey Road parades and Jockey Road parades.
Questions from operators in New Oscott
Can you take a vehicle to our own garage rather than a random one in New Oscott?
Yes, just let us know your preferred garage or depot and we'll aim to recover there.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in New Oscott?
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.
Do you cover vans as well as cars in New Oscott?
Yes, we recover cars, vans and light commercials, so most standard fleet vehicles are covered.
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 B73 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B73?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for New Oscott on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
Can you set up an account for regular fleet call-outs in New Oscott?
Yes, we can discuss an arrangement suited to how often you're likely to need us and how you'd prefer to be invoiced.
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 New Oscott.
Before you call from B73
We cover New Oscott every day, not occasionally. That is why this page talks about Sutton Coldfield College and Jockey Road parades rather than listing every town in West Midlands. New Oscott has more off-street parking problems than through-traffic problems. Neighbouring cover runs to Erdington, Sutton Coldfield, Mere Green, all on the same rota. Where the vehicle sits behind a barrier at Jockey Road parades, a gate code beats a phone call. The result is an honest ETA rather than a comfortable one.
