Off-road move · Stirchley B30
Off-road move help in Stirchley (B30) — 24 hours
Off-road move does not care what postcode you are in, but the fix does. In Stirchley (B30) the deciding factors are usually parking on Victorian terraces, the width of the approach off A4040 outer ring, and whether the vehicle still rolls. Weather makes more difference on the A38 Pershore Road gradients than most people expect. Loading on A38 Pershore Road needs a safe run-off; near Stirchley High Street that usually means the side road. Distances we work to here: 8 miles from the Oldbury yard, 5 to the city centre. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck.

- Hazelwell trading estate
- Stirchley High Street
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.
Getting a truck to you in Stirchley
A residential area like Stirchley throws up two kinds of recovery: kerbside and yard. Gated yards at Hazelwell trading estate often have a height barrier; a gate code saves ten minutes. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves. Typical drop points from here: garages in B30, storage in West Midlands, or Cotteridge.
Why it happens
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
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.

Stirchley questions
What if the vehicle isn't registered in my name in Stirchley?
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.
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 B30 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Does the vehicle need to be in running condition for you to move it in Stirchley?
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.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B30?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Stirchley on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
Can you take it straight to be scrapped or sold in Stirchley?
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 Stirchley?
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.
