Car Recovery Wolverhampton
Broken down in Wolverhampton? Call 07402 666 687. We recover cars, vans and non-runners across the city around the clock, and you agree the full price on the call before a truck sets off.
Wolverhampton is a city of drivers. It sits about twelve miles north-west of Birmingham, has been a city since 2001, and most households rely on a car for work, school runs and everything in between. When one stops, whether that is a flat battery in Whitmore Reans or a non-starter in Wednesfield, you need a local crew that picks up the phone and gives you a straight answer.
We are based in Oldbury, a short run down the road, and we cover the whole city: the WV1, WV2, WV3, WV4 and WV6 postcode districts, from the centre and the ring road out to Bilston, Tettenhall, Penn, Bushbury and Fordhouses. Cars, vans, non-runners and accident-damaged vehicles all go on the flatbed.
Breakdowns on the motorways around the city
The stretch of the M6 near Wolverhampton is one of the busiest in the country, and the M54, M5 and M6 Toll are all within about seven miles of the centre. A breakdown on any of them is frightening, especially at night or in poor weather. If you can, get onto the hard shoulder or into an emergency area, put your hazards on, leave by the verge-side door and wait behind the barrier. If you are stuck in a live lane, dial 999 before you ring anyone else.
When you call us, give the motorway, your direction of travel and the nearest junction or marker post number, the small blue sign at the edge of the carriageway. We attend motorway breakdowns once it is safe and the lane has been cleared by the relevant authority. Our motorway breakdown guide explains how to stay safe while you wait.
Vans and work vehicles
Wolverhampton has engineering in its bones, from coal, steel and lock-making to car manufacturing, and the plants and business parks around the city still run on vans and light commercials. The i54 business park and the engineering firms around Pendeford mean plenty of working vans on the road, and when one stops the job stops with it. We recover vans up to 3.5 tonnes, loaded or empty, with tools and stock transferred on request. See our van recovery page for the detail.
Vehicle recovery in Wolverhampton is not only emergencies. We also move cars that are not broken at all: auction buys, cars sold privately, non-runners being taken on as projects. If the car needs collecting rather than rescuing, our car transportation service covers planned moves across the city and beyond.

Questions people ask
Do you cover every Wolverhampton postcode?
Yes. We recover cars across WV1, WV2, WV3, WV4 and WV6, from the city centre out to Bilston, Wednesfield, Tettenhall and Penn, and from the wider WV area by arrangement.
Can you recover a car from the M6 or M54?
Yes, once the scene is safe. If you are stuck in a live lane, get everyone out on the verge side, stand behind the barrier and dial 999 first. We attend once the relevant authority has cleared the lane.
Do you recover vans in Wolverhampton?
Yes. We take vans and light commercials up to 3.5 tonnes, loaded or empty, which covers most panel vans, LWB and high-top models.
How much does car recovery in Wolverhampton cost?
It depends on the vehicle, the distance and the condition of the car. You are told the flat figure on the call before anything is dispatched, so there is no surprise at the kerb.
Can you take my car to a garage outside Wolverhampton?
Yes. Home, your usual garage, a bodyshop or any other address you give the dispatcher. Say where it needs to end up when you ring so it is priced into the quote.
