Post-collision near Bordesley Green industrial units, Bordesley Green — same-day recovery
This page covers post-collision specifically for drivers and businesses in Bordesley 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. Bordesley Green runs on A47 Bordesley Green, and almost every job here starts with working out where on it you are. Access off A45 Coventry Road narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch. Overnight, most work here is on Victorian terraces rather than main roads. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck.

Being involved in a collision is stressful enough without then having to work out how to get the car away from the scene. If your car isn't driveable — a wheel's been knocked out of line, a door won't shut properly, fluids are leaking, or there's simply too much damage to know if it's safe — it needs recovering rather than driven.
Getting a truck to you in Bordesley Green
Weather makes more difference on the A47 Bordesley Green gradients than most people expect. We confirm the drop address before leaving Bordesley Green so nothing is decided kerbside. Common collection points: Bordesley Green industrial units, the parking by Bordesley Green Road, and corner shops. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike.
What is actually going on
Safety first at the scene
If anyone's injured, call 999 first. Once everyone's safe, move to the side of the road if it's possible and safe to do so, put hazard lights on, and use a warning triangle if you have one and it's safe to place. Exchange details with anyone else involved and take photos of the scene and damage if you're able to.
Working with your insurer
If you've already reported the accident to your insurer, they may have their own recovery arrangements or a preferred repairer. We're happy to recover to wherever you or your insurer specify, and can provide details of the job if your insurer needs confirmation of where the vehicle has been taken.
What happens next
Depending on the extent of damage, the car might go to a bodyshop for repair, to a secure storage yard while an insurance assessment is carried out, or to your home if you'd rather deal with the claim in your own time. We can talk through the options based on your situation.

Bordesley Green questions
Will you take photos or document the vehicle's condition in Bordesley Green?
We're happy to note obvious damage, but for insurance purposes it's best if you or the police document the scene and damage directly where possible.
Is Bordesley Green closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 8 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 3 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.
What if the police are dealing with the scene in Bordesley Green?
We can coordinate with attending officers if needed and wait until the car is cleared to be moved.
Should I call you or my insurer first after an accident in Bordesley Green?
If anyone's injured, call 999 first. Beyond that, either order works — we can recover the car whether or not you've spoken to your insurer yet.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Bordesley Green?
Not always. For collections from corner shops or a unit near Bordesley Green industrial units 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 you take the vehicle to a garage outside Bordesley Green?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Bordesley Green itself or in Sparkbrook, 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.
