Fleet Support in Old Hill (B64/B65) — accounts and out-of-hours
Under Sandwell MBC, commercial vehicles in Old Hill run between Highfields industrial estate, customer sites and the A4100 corridor. Fleet Support here is planned around those routes rather than a generic city-wide promise. Kerb heights on A4100 decide whether we winch or drive on. Insurance work from Old Hill gets a written condition record before the straps go on. Common collection points: Highfields industrial estate, the parking by Old Hill railway station, and Victorian terraces. Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the Sandwell MBC area.
- Old Hill railway station
- B64 postcode area
- M5 J2
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.
Access and routing around Old Hill
Which is why locals ring us rather than a national line. Access off A4100 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch. Overnight, most work here is on post-war semis rather than main roads. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point.
How the service works for you
Handling multiple vehicles
If more than one vehicle needs moving at once, or you're dealing with a fleet-wide issue, we'll do our best to coordinate recoveries so vehicles reach the right destinations without duplicated journeys or crossed wires.
- Cars, vans and light commercials covered
- Recovery to your preferred garage or depot
- Support for out-of-hours and weekend breakdowns
- Straightforward invoicing suited to business accounts
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.
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.
Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Highfields industrial estate, the parking around Old Hill railway station, and the residential grid of Victorian terraces where drivers leave vehicles overnight. Highfields industrial estate generates a steady stream of commercial callouts; the residential side is a different job entirely. Loading on A459 needs a safe run-off; near Old Hill railway station that usually means the side road. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck. Building stock here is mainly Victorian terraces, with post-war semis on the edges.
- Loading bays and gated yards at Highfields industrial estate
- Kerbside on A459 during peak flow
- Customer premises across B64/B65

Before you call from B64
We cover Old Hill every day, not occasionally. That is why this page talks about Old Hill railway station and Highfields industrial estate rather than listing every town in West Midlands. No relay, no third party, no surprise between Old Hill and the drop-off. The two roads that matter locally are A459 and A4100, with M5 J2 for anything longer. Locked wheels, missing keys and flat tyres all change the kit list for a B64 job. One rota covers Old Hill, Cradley Heath, Netherton, Blackheath and the rest of the Sandwell MBC area.
Neighbouring areas on the same account

Questions from operators in Old Hill
What if the vehicle is blocking A459?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near Old Hill 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 B64 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Can you take a vehicle to our own garage rather than a random one in Old Hill?
Yes, just let us know your preferred garage or depot and we'll aim to recover there.
What if two vehicles break down on the same day in Old Hill?
We'll do our best to get to both as quickly as possible and will keep you updated if there's likely to be any delay between jobs.
Do you cover vans as well as cars in Old Hill?
Yes, we recover cars, vans and light commercials, so most standard fleet vehicles are covered.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Old Hill?
Not always. For collections from Victorian terraces or a unit near Highfields industrial estate 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.
