Recovery support for insurers across Cotteridge and Stirchley
Fleet downtime in Cotteridge is measured in shifts, not miles. With the yard 8 miles away and access in via M5 J4, we build cover around the way your vehicles actually move through B30. Locals give directions by Cotteridge railway station; we plan by A441 Pershore Road and the postcode B30. Where the vehicle sits on private land rather than a live road, the legal position and the price both change. Distances we work to here: 8 miles from the Oldbury yard, 5 to the city centre. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up.

We understand that accident-damaged vehicles need to be handled carefully, both because of possible ongoing safety concerns and because condition on arrival can matter for the claim. We take that seriously on every job.
Access and routing around Cotteridge
That is how a Cotteridge job stays a one-truck job. Deliveries usually go to a garage in Cotteridge or across to Stirchley, whichever you nominate. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves. Stirchley is the nearest larger centre, which is where a lot of Cotteridge drops end up.
How the service works for you
Working with your process
We're happy to follow whatever reporting or paperwork process your organisation needs for each job, so recovery fits smoothly into the wider claim.
Prompt attendance after a collision
Once instructed, we aim to attend as quickly as possible so the vehicle and any occupants aren't left at the roadside longer than necessary.
Careful handling of damaged vehicles
Whether a vehicle is driveable or needs winching and loading, we take appropriate care so the vehicle isn't made worse in transit and any relevant details can be noted.

Locals give directions by Cotteridge railway station; we plan by A441 Pershore Road and the postcode B30. Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the Birmingham City Council area. Common collection points: Pershore Road trade units, the parking by Cotteridge railway station, and high street shop units. On tight high street shop units we bring skates rather than argue with a turning circle.
