Fleet Support — Yardley, Birmingham City Council area
The difference between a good and bad recovery for a Yardley business is rarely the tow itself — it is authorisation, storage and where the vehicle ends up in West Midlands. We agree all three before the first callout. Every Yardley job starts with two questions: where exactly, and can the vehicle roll? Deliveries usually go to a garage in Yardley or across to Sheldon, whichever you nominate. Distances we work to here: 10 miles from the Oldbury yard, 5 to the city centre. Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the Birmingham City Council area.

When a fleet vehicle goes down, it isn't just that one van or car off the road – it's a delivery missed, a job unfinished, or a driver stranded waiting for someone to answer the phone. We work with fleet operators across Birmingham, the Black Country, Solihull and Sandwell who need a recovery partner they can call at any hour and trust to turn up.
How the service works for you
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.
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
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.

Questions from operators in Yardley
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Yardley?
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 charge extra for weekends in B25?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Yardley on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
What if two vehicles break down on the same day in Yardley?
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 Yardley?
Yes, we recover cars, vans and light commercials, so most standard fleet vehicles are covered.
Can you set up an account for regular fleet call-outs in Yardley?
Yes, we can discuss an arrangement suited to how often you're likely to need us and how you'd prefer to be invoiced.
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 B25 or a longer run out of West Midlands.

What happens next if you are in Yardley
This page is for people who need fleet support specifically in Yardley — not a generic Birmingham page. Access, parking and the right route in from M6 J4 all change the job, and that is what we price on. A 10-mile approach means the truck arrives with fuel, kit and space still on the deck. Which matters more in Yardley than raw response times ever will. A spec-lift handles most of it; the tilt-and-slide comes out for lowered, damaged or non-rolling vehicles. Storage, if it is needed, stays inside West Midlands rather than being shipped out of area.
