Post-collision help in Marston Green (B37) — 24 hours
If post-collision has stopped you in B37, the practical questions are how far the vehicle has to travel, where it is going, and what it is standing on. From Marston Green that is typically a short run inside West Midlands. Every Marston Green job starts with two questions: where exactly, and can the vehicle roll? It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike. Second road option if A45 is blocked: A452. On tight local shopfronts we bring skates rather than argue with a turning circle.
- A45
- the Birmingham Airport cargo area
- the A45 Coventry Road
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.
Marston Green in practical terms
The commercial spine of Marston Green runs through the Birmingham Airport cargo area, with the A45 Coventry Road as the obvious landmark. If you can name either when you ring, the dispatcher can place you inside B37 immediately and brief the driver on the approach.
Kit that matters on these streets
- Photographic condition report on collection and delivery
- Live-carriageway work off M42 J6 done to Highway Code rules
- Tilt-and-slide for 1930s semis where a spec-lift cannot get in
- Low-approach ramps for lowered and damaged vehicles
What is actually going on
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.
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

Marston Green questions
Will you take photos or document the vehicle's condition in Marston 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.
Can you get a transporter into the Birmingham Airport cargo area?
Usually yes, but tell us the unit and gate before we set off. Some yards around the Birmingham Airport cargo area have height barriers or a tight turning circle, in which case we bring the spec-lift and winch out to the access road instead.
What does post-collision cost in Marston Green?
We quote a flat figure on the phone based on the actual distance, the vehicle and the access. At roughly 14 miles from base, Marston Green is a local job — no per-mile meter, no call-out fee bolted on afterwards.
Is Marston Green closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 14 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 8 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 Marston Green?
We can coordinate with attending officers if needed and wait until the car is cleared to be moved.
Can you take the car straight to a bodyshop in Marston Green?
Yes, we can recover to a bodyshop, your insurer's approved repairer, your home, or secure storage — whatever's needed.
Marston Green and post-collision — where that leaves you
This page is for people who need post-collision specifically in Marston Green — not a generic Birmingham page. Access, parking and the right route in from M42 J6 all change the job, and that is what we price on. Marston Green is close enough to base that we quote it as a local run, not a distance job. Motorway access for Marston Green is via M42 J6, which sets the realistic ETA. Winching across a verge or a kerb near Birmingham Airport needs space we would rather plan for than discover. That is why the dispatcher asks for the street name in Marston Green and not just the town.
