Trade Partners · Erdington B23
Trade Partners along the A38 Tyburn Road corridor in Erdington
We run trade partners for operators across the Birmingham City Council area, and Erdington is one of the patches we cover most often. Between Spaghetti Junction and Tyburn Road corridor there is enough commercial movement that we keep a truck within reach of B23/B24 on every shift. Every Erdington job starts with two questions: where exactly, and can the vehicle roll? If the vehicle is in a multi-storey, tell us the level: deck height rules out some trucks entirely. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck. Overnight, most work here is on council estates rather than main roads.

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
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.
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.
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.
Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Tyburn Road corridor, the parking around Spaghetti Junction, and the residential grid of council estates where drivers leave vehicles overnight. The quickest way in is M6 J6, then down towards Spaghetti Junction. Because Erdington is only 9 miles from base, jobs here are single-truck with no relay. Birmingham is the nearest larger centre, which is where a lot of Erdington drops end up. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves.

Questions from operators in Erdington
Can you handle out-of-hours collections in Erdington?
Yes, we operate 24/7, so a car that breaks down in the evening doesn't have to wait until morning.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B23?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Erdington on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
Do you move accident-damaged vehicles in Erdington?
Yes, we transport accident-damaged and non-runner vehicles between inspection points, bodyshops and customers.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Erdington?
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.
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 B23 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Can you collect a customer's car that's broken down elsewhere in Erdington?
Yes, we can attend and bring it straight to your garage on your behalf.
