Trade Partners · Bournville B30
Recovery support for trade partners across Bournville and Selly Oak
Fleet downtime in Bournville is measured in shifts, not miles. With the yard 8 miles away and access in via M5 J4, we build cover around the way your vehicles actually move through B30. Bournville has more off-street parking problems than through-traffic problems. Bournville is a residential area, so day and night jobs look quite different. Everything inside B30 is priced the same way, day or night. A 4-mile run into the centre is sometimes slower than a longer route round.

How the service works for you
Moving non-runners

Customer breakdown collections
If a customer's vehicle breaks down and needs bringing to your workshop, we can collect it and deliver it straight to you, saving your own team a wasted trip.
A trade rate you can rely on

Questions from operators in Bournville
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 B30 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
What if the vehicle is blocking A441?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near Bournville railway station is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
Can you collect a customer's car that's broken down elsewhere in Bournville?
Yes, we can attend and bring it straight to your garage on your behalf.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Bournville?
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 move accident-damaged vehicles in Bournville?
Yes, we transport accident-damaged and non-runner vehicles between inspection points, bodyshops and customers.
Can you handle out-of-hours collections in Bournville?
Yes, we operate 24/7, so a car that breaks down in the evening doesn't have to wait until morning.
