Post-collision near Stratford Road trade counters, Hall Green — same-day recovery
This page covers post-collision 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. Hall Green runs on A34 Stratford Road, and almost every job here starts with working out where on it you are. Where the vehicle sits on private land rather than a live road, the legal position and the price both change. 10 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Postcode-level cover: B28, plus the ring of areas within a few miles.

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 Hall Green
Vehicles collected near Sarehole Mill nearby are usually loaded from the offside because of the camber. Because Hall Green is only 10 miles from base, jobs here are single-truck with no relay. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves. Trade sites we visit most: Stratford Road trade counters and Stratford Road trade counters.
Common causes we see
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.
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.

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.
What if the police are dealing with the scene in Hall Green?
We can coordinate with attending officers if needed and wait until the car is cleared to be moved.
Can you take the vehicle to a garage outside Hall Green?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Hall Green itself or in Sparkhill, 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.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Hall Green?
Not always. For collections from parade shops 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.
Will you take photos or document the vehicle's condition in Hall 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.
Should I call you or my insurer first after an accident in Hall 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.

The practical bit
Nothing on this page changes if you ring at 3am. Same desk, same rota, same pricing across B28. The B28 streets around Sarehole Mill nearby were not laid out with a 7.5-tonne transporter in mind. The result is an honest ETA rather than a comfortable one. Where the vehicle sits behind a barrier at Stratford Road trade counters, a gate code beats a phone call. Hall Green is a suburban area, so day and night jobs look quite different.
