Mere Green post-collision callouts: what we do and what it costs
Mere Green is a suburban area of about B75, and post-collision here is rarely just a mechanical question — it is also an access question. A vehicle stuck on detached family homes needs a different approach to one sitting in an open car park near Sutton Park. Recovery in Birmingham City Council territory means knowing which restrictions bite and when. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point. Distances we work to here: 13 miles from the Oldbury yard, 9 to the city centre. If M6 Toll T4 is queueing, the driver reroutes rather than sitting in it.

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 Mere Green
A suburban area like Mere Green throws up two kinds of recovery: kerbside and yard. On tight shopfront parades we bring skates rather than argue with a turning circle. Trade sites we visit most: Mere Green Road retail parades and Mere Green Road retail parades. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves.
The likely cause
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.

Mere Green questions
Will you take photos or document the vehicle's condition in Mere 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.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B75?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Mere Green on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
What if the police are dealing with the scene in Mere 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 Mere 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.
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 B75 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Mere Green?
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.
