Recovery support for trade partners across Solihull and Birmingham
If you manage vehicles working in and around Solihull, the useful question is not whether a recovery firm exists but whether it answers at 3am and knows which yards at Monkspath have height barriers. That is what this page is about. Winter callouts here cluster around modern office campuses; summer ones around Cranmore. Insurance work from Solihull gets a written condition record before the straps go on. Trade sites we visit most: Cranmore and Monkspath. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike.

The commercial picture in Solihull
Solihull is a suburban area under Solihull MBC, with the main commercial concentration at Cranmore and movement funnelled along A34 towards M42 J5. Solihull sits roughly 7 miles out from the city centre, so we rarely route through town to reach you. If M42 J5 is queueing, the driver reroutes rather than sitting in it. Distances we work to here: 12 miles from the Oldbury yard, 7 to the city centre. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up.

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.
Access and routing around Solihull
Solihull runs on A34, and almost every job here starts with working out where on it you are. Access off A34 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch. Building stock here is mainly modern office campuses, with detached family homes on the edges. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point.
Questions from operators in Solihull
Can you handle out-of-hours collections in Solihull?
Yes, we operate 24/7, so a car that breaks down in the evening doesn't have to wait until morning.
What does trade partners cost in Solihull?
We quote a flat figure on the phone based on the actual distance, the vehicle and the access. At roughly 12 miles from base, Solihull is a local job — no per-mile meter, no call-out fee bolted on afterwards.
Can you get a transporter into Cranmore?
Usually yes, but tell us the unit and gate before we set off. Some yards around Cranmore have height barriers or a tight turning circle, in which case we bring the spec-lift and winch out to the access road instead.
Is Solihull closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 12 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 7 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.
Do you move accident-damaged vehicles in Solihull?
Yes, we transport accident-damaged and non-runner vehicles between inspection points, bodyshops and customers.
Can you collect a customer's car that's broken down elsewhere in Solihull?
Yes, we can attend and bring it straight to your garage on your behalf.
