Recovery support for trade partners across Tividale and Tipton
Under Sandwell MBC, commercial vehicles in Tividale run between Powke Lane industrial estate, customer sites and the A4037 corridor. Trade Partners here is planned around those routes rather than a generic city-wide promise. Anything heading out of West Midlands gets strapped for a longer run rather than a two-street shuffle. Which matters more in Tividale than raw response times ever will. A 7-mile run into the centre is sometimes slower than a longer route round. Units around Tividale business park are the busiest commercial pickup points on this patch.
- A4123
- Powke Lane industrial estate
- Tividale Quays

Why a Tividale account differs from a citywide one
A generic Birmingham arrangement treats every postcode the same. Yours does not work that way: your drivers use the same few roads out of Tividale every day, so the routing, the storage point and the authorised-caller list can all be set up once and reused. Anything heading out of West Midlands gets strapped for a longer run rather than a two-street shuffle. One rota covers Tividale, Tipton, Rowley Regis, Dudley Port and the rest of the Sandwell MBC area. Night work near Tividale Quays is kept quiet and quick — lights down, loaded, gone. Motorway access for Tividale is via M5 J2, which sets the realistic ETA.
- Standing route plan in via M5 J2 then A4123

- Agreed authorisation rules so drivers are not left waiting

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 Tividale
In B69 the controlled-parking bays matter: a truck cannot sit there indefinitely. Motorway access for Tividale is via M5 J2, which sets the realistic ETA. You get an answer about Tividale availability on the first call, not after a callback. Winching across a verge or a kerb near the Dudley No.1 Canal needs space we would rather plan for than discover.
Questions from operators in Tividale
Can you collect a customer's car that's broken down elsewhere in Tividale?
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 Tividale?
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 Tividale?
Yes, we transport accident-damaged and non-runner vehicles between inspection points, bodyshops and customers.
Can you handle out-of-hours collections in Tividale?
Yes, we operate 24/7, so a car that breaks down in the evening doesn't have to wait until morning.
What if the vehicle is blocking A4123?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near Tividale Quays is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
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 B69 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Neighbouring areas on the same account
Vehicles rarely stay in one postcode. These areas run off the same Sandwell MBC-area rota, with distances from Tividale.
If you only read one paragraph about trade partners here
industrial areas like Tividale mix post-war council housing with working yards, so the same trade partners job can need a spec-lift or a tilt-and-slide. We decide that before dispatch, not on arrival. Every Tividale job starts with two questions: where exactly, and can the vehicle roll? Fuel type matters before we tow: EVs and hybrids from B69/DY4 go on the deck, not on a rope. Distances we work to here: 3 miles from the Oldbury yard, 7 to the city centre. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up.
