Off-road move · Bordesley Green B9
Sorted in Bordesley Green: off-road move handled 24/7
Between Sparkbrook and Saltley, off-road move is one of the more common reasons people ring us. In Bordesley Green the pattern is usually industrial traffic on A45 Coventry Road plus tight parking, which is why we plan the approach before dispatch. Anything heading out of West Midlands gets strapped for a longer run rather than a two-street shuffle. Everything inside B9/B10 is priced the same way, day or night. We photograph condition on collection so there is no argument later about a kerbed wheel. Units around Bordesley Green industrial units are the busiest commercial pickup points on this patch.

We transport untaxed, uninsured and non-roadworthy vehicles across Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell and the Black Country by loading them onto a recovery vehicle rather than driving them, which is the only legal way to move a car that isn't currently taxed and insured for road use.
What is actually going on
What we need to know
It helps to know roughly the vehicle's condition (does it run, are the tyres inflated, is it accessible), where it currently is, and where it needs to go, so we can plan the right recovery vehicle and loading method in advance.
If ownership is unclear
If you're moving a vehicle that isn't registered in your name, it's worth having some proof of your right to deal with it (such as a V5 in your name, probate documents, or a bill of sale) in case it's ever questioned, since we're moving the vehicle on your instruction rather than verifying ownership ourselves.
Common situations we help with
This comes up fairly often with an inherited vehicle that's been sitting since a family member passed away, a car left behind by a previous tenant or occupant, a project car that's lapsed its tax while off the road, or a vehicle you've bought that isn't currently taxed or insured in your name yet.

Bordesley Green questions
Does the vehicle need to be in running condition for you to move it in Bordesley Green?
No, we can load non-runners as well as vehicles that do start but aren't legally driveable due to tax, insurance or MOT status.
What if the vehicle is blocking A45 Coventry Road?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near the A47 is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
Can you take it straight to be scrapped or sold in Bordesley Green?
Yes, we can take it to a scrap yard, buyer, storage, or your home — wherever you need it to go.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Bordesley Green?
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.
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 B9 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
What if the vehicle isn't registered in my name in Bordesley Green?
It's worth having some proof you're entitled to deal with it, such as a V5, probate paperwork, or a bill of sale, in case ownership is ever questioned.

Bordesley Green at a glance
In Bordesley Green the deciding factors are access off A47 Bordesley Green and where the vehicle can legally be loaded. Get those clear on the call and off-road move is straightforward from B9. Roughly 3 miles of city sits between Bordesley Green and the centre, which is why we approach from M6 J6 rather than through it. 8 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Overnight, most work here is on corner shops rather than main roads. Loading on A45 Coventry Road needs a safe run-off; near the A47 that usually means the side road.
Need off-road move tonight in Bordesley Green?
