Post-collision · Rowley Regis B65
Post-collision near Rowley Regis business park, Rowley Regis — same-day recovery
Under Sandwell MBC, Rowley Regis mixes post-war council housing with working units at Highfields industrial estate. Post-collision in the first is a parking and access problem; in the second it is a downtime problem. This page deals with both. Vehicles collected near Bury Hill Park are usually loaded from the offside because of the camber. 4 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Old Hill is the nearest larger centre, which is where a lot of Rowley Regis drops end up. If the vehicle is in a multi-storey, tell us the level: deck height rules out some trucks entirely.

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.
Rowley Regis in practical terms
Local geography matters more than people expect. Rowley Regis is about 4 miles from our Oldbury base and 8 from Birmingham city centre, sitting between Old Hill and Cradley Heath. Jobs here rarely need a second truck.
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.
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.
