Sorted in Quinton: post-collision handled 24/7
Drivers ringing us about post-collision in Quinton usually start with the road name — A456 Hagley Road West more often than not — and then the landmark, normally Woodgate Valley Country Park. That is all we need to send the right truck. You will know the price before anyone in Quinton sees a truck. Neighbouring cover runs to Edgbaston, Halesowen, Bartley Green, all on the same rota. You get an answer about Quinton availability on the first call, not after a callback. Damaged vehicles from Quinton normally go straight to an approved repairer in West Midlands.
- B32 postcode area
- M5 J3

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.
Residential and commercial jobs differ here
A domestic post-collision job in Quinton is usually about getting one car to one garage. A commercial one is about downtime — a van off the road near Quinton business units is a day's work gone, so we prioritise a roadside attempt before recovery.
- Homeowners and tenants: recovery to a local garage or your driveway
- Landlords and letting agents: vehicles blocking access at managed properties
- Fleet and courier operators: same-shift turnaround where possible
- Dealers and bodyshops around Edgbaston: stock movements

What usually causes it
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.
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

Getting a truck to you in Quinton
The stretch of A456 Hagley Road West through Quinton is where most of our local callouts land. The result is an honest ETA rather than a comfortable one. We photograph condition on collection so there is no argument later about a kerbed wheel. Storage, if it is needed, stays inside West Midlands rather than being shipped out of area.
Recap for B32
We are a 3-mile run from Quinton and we work the Birmingham City Council patch daily. Post-collision here is routine rather than a special trip, which is why the price stays flat. If the job is close to Edgbaston, dropping there can be quicker than returning to Quinton. If the vehicle is in a multi-storey, tell us the level: deck height rules out some trucks entirely. Trade sites we visit most: Quinton business units and Ridgacre Road corridor. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck.
Quinton questions
Will you take photos or document the vehicle's condition in Quinton?
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 recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Quinton?
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.
Can you take the car straight to a bodyshop in Quinton?
Yes, we can recover to a bodyshop, your insurer's approved repairer, your home, or secure storage — whatever's needed.
Should I call you or my insurer first after an accident in Quinton?
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 B32 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
What if the vehicle is blocking A456 Hagley Road West?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near Woodgate Valley Country Park is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
