Post-collision · Coseley WV14
Sorted in Coseley: post-collision handled 24/7
Post-collision does not care what postcode you are in, but the fix does. In Coseley (WV14) the deciding factors are usually parking on terraced housing, the width of the approach off A457, and whether the vehicle still rolls. Which is why locals ring us rather than a national line. Deliveries usually go to a garage in Coseley or across to Dudley, whichever you nominate. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike. Second road option if A4123 New Birmingham Road is blocked: A457.

We recover accident-damaged vehicles across Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell and the Black Country, and can work to your instructions or your insurer's if a claim is already underway, taking the car to a repairer, your home, or a secure storage location.
Coseley in practical terms
Coseley sits under Dudley MBC with WV14 covering most of the built-up area. The nearest motorway access is M5 J2, and the arterial route through is A4123 New Birmingham Road. Practically, that means our driver reaches you without crossing the city centre.
Why it happens
Deciding if the car is driveable
Even if the damage looks fairly cosmetic, it's worth checking for fluid leaks, a wheel that's visibly out of alignment, warning lights, or anything rubbing or scraping before considering driving even a short distance. If in doubt, treat it as undriveable rather than risk making things worse or being unsafe on the road.
- Any fluid leaking underneath — don't drive it
- A wheel or tyre visibly damaged or misaligned — don't drive it
- Airbags deployed — the car needs professional assessment before driving
- When genuinely unsure, treat the car as undriveable
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.
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.
Getting a truck to you in Coseley
Roughly 10 miles of city sits between Coseley and the centre, which is why we approach from M5 J2 rather than through it. Access off A457 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch. If you are unsure of the postcode, WV14 plus a landmark such as the Bradley Arm canal is enough. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up.
