Trade Partners · Chelmsley Wood B36
Recovery support for trade partners across Chelmsley Wood and Castle Bromwich
Chelmsley Wood businesses inside B36/B37 get a named contact, agreed rates and 24-hour cover. Garage owners, service managers and bodyshop teams needing customer vehicles collected or moved. Everything runs off our own trucks on the Solihull MBC rota. Roughly 8 miles of city sits between Chelmsley Wood and the centre, which is why we approach from M6 J5 rather than through it. If M6 J5 is queueing, the driver reroutes rather than sitting in it. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point. Postcode-level cover: B36/B37, plus the ring of areas within a few miles.
- Chelmsley Wood industrial estate
- Babbs Mill Lake
- B36 postcode area
We understand that when it's a customer's vehicle, your reputation is on the line too, so we handle every collection and delivery with the same care we'd want if it were our own car being moved.
How the service works for you
Moving non-runners
Vehicles waiting on parts, insurance decisions or specialist work don't need to sit around – we can transport non-runners to and from your premises whenever it suits.
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
For garages who need us regularly, we're happy to discuss a working arrangement that reflects the volume and type of work involved, rather than pricing every job from scratch.
Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Chelmsley Wood industrial estate, the parking around Babbs Mill Lake, and the residential grid of 1960s tower blocks where drivers leave vehicles overnight. Trade callers here tend to be based at the Kingsway trading area; private callers are usually on 1960s tower blocks. Gated yards at the Kingsway trading area often have a height barrier; a gate code saves ten minutes. Second road option if A452 is blocked: A45. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike.
