Motorbike recovery in Marston Green
Motorbike recovery with proper tie-downs - no fork-tube crush, no scuffed fairings.
From Oldbury to Marston Green is 14 miles. Long enough to think about your bike being properly strapped down. We use the front wheel chock first, then four tie-downs to solid points - never through the fairing brackets.
Marston Green — what we see on the ground
Postcodes across B37 sit inside the Solihull MBC area, and motorbikes tend to break down where they are being used — school runs near Marston Green railway station, deliveries into the Birmingham Airport cargo area, or on local shopfronts where a jump-start is often faster than a tow.
