Off-road move help in Hall Green (B28) — 24 hours
This page covers off-road move specifically for drivers and businesses in Hall Green, under Birmingham City Council. The general advice is the same everywhere; the practical bit — where we can set a truck down, which route in works, what the job costs from here — is not. Stratford Road trade counters generates a steady stream of commercial callouts; the residential side is a different job entirely. If the vehicle is in a multi-storey, tell us the level: deck height rules out some trucks entirely. Building stock here is mainly community buildings, with parade shops on the edges. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck.

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 usually causes it
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.
Why it can't just be driven
Driving on a public road without valid tax and insurance is an offence regardless of how short the distance is or whether you own the vehicle. A car that's been declared SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) is legally required to stay off the public road entirely, so moving it needs a recovery vehicle rather than driving it, even to a nearby garage.
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.
- SORN vehicles must stay off public roads until re-taxed and insured
- Inherited or left-behind vehicles often need moving without being driveable
- A car with no current MOT can't be legally driven even briefly
- We load and transport rather than drive, keeping the move fully legal

Hall Green questions
Is Hall Green closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 10 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 5 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Hall Green?
Not always. For collections from community buildings or a unit near Stratford Road trade counters we can work with a key safe or a nominated contact, provided we have written authority and someone to receive the vehicle at the other end.
Can I just drive it a short distance if it's untaxed in Hall Green?
No, driving without valid tax and insurance is illegal regardless of distance, so it needs to be recovered rather than driven, even a few hundred yards.
Does the vehicle need to be in running condition for you to move it in Hall 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.
Can you take it straight to be scrapped or sold in Hall Green?
Yes, we can take it to a scrap yard, buyer, storage, or your home — wherever you need it to go.
Can you take the vehicle to a garage outside Hall Green?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Hall Green itself or in Moseley, but we will run further if that is where your repairer is. Give us the destination on the call so it is inside the quoted price.
