Recovery support for trade partners across Jewellery Quarter and Hockley
Fleet downtime in Jewellery Quarter is measured in shifts, not miles. With the yard 4 miles away and access in via M5 J1, we build cover around the way your vehicles actually move through B1/B18. Jewellery Quarter drivers tend to break down close to home, not on the motorway. Deliveries usually go to a garage in Jewellery Quarter or across to Hockley, whichever you nominate. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves. Common collection points: Vyse Street workshops, the parking by the Chamberlain Clock, and Victorian workshops.

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.
Access and routing around Jewellery Quarter
Jewellery Quarter runs on A4400 St Vincent Street, and almost every job here starts with working out where on it you are. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up. If you are unsure of the postcode, B1 plus a landmark such as the Chamberlain Clock is enough. Loading on A4400 St Vincent Street needs a safe run-off; near the Chamberlain Clock that usually means the side road.
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 Vyse Street workshops, the parking around the Chamberlain Clock, and the residential grid of Victorian workshops where drivers leave vehicles overnight. A commercial hub area like Jewellery Quarter throws up two kinds of recovery: kerbside and yard. 4 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Distances we work to here: 4 miles from the Oldbury yard, 1 to the city centre. Fuel type matters before we tow: EVs and hybrids from B1/B18 go on the deck, not on a rope.

Questions from operators in Jewellery Quarter
Can you handle out-of-hours collections in Jewellery Quarter?
Yes, we operate 24/7, so a car that breaks down in the evening doesn't have to wait until morning.
Do you move accident-damaged vehicles in Jewellery Quarter?
Yes, we transport accident-damaged and non-runner vehicles between inspection points, bodyshops and customers.
What if the vehicle is blocking A4400 St Vincent Street?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near the Chamberlain Clock 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 Jewellery Quarter?
Yes, we can attend and bring it straight to your garage on your behalf.
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 B1 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Jewellery Quarter?
Not always. For collections from Victorian workshops or a unit near Vyse Street workshops 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.
