Car park recovery · Cradley Heath B64
Car park recovery on Cradley Heath roads — roadside fix or recovery
If you are dealing with car park recovery anywhere in Cradley Heath, we are roughly 4 miles away in Oldbury and come in via M5 J2. That matters because it decides whether this is a short local job or a relay — for Cradley Heath it is almost always the former. Sandwell MBC keeps B64 busy with works and diversions, so the route in gets checked before dispatch. Motorway access for Cradley Heath is via M5 J2, which sets the realistic ETA. Nothing about a B64 job is guesswork by the time we arrive. Parked-both-sides streets around light industrial units are the usual constraint rather than distance.

We recover vehicles from car parks, multi-storeys and retail parking across Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell and the Black Country, and we're used to working around height restrictions, tight bays and the general awkwardness these locations bring.
Common causes we see
Getting the car out of a tight bay
A car that's broken down in a narrow bay, wedged against a barrier, or blocking others in can need careful manoeuvring to free without causing damage to your car or anyone else's. We take our time in these situations rather than rushing and risking a scrape.
- •Tell us if it's a multi-storey with a height restriction
- •Let us know if the car is wedged, blocking others, or against a barrier
- •Have your ticket or parking details ready if payment is needed to exit
- •We plan the approach based on access before arriving, not on site
Dealing with car park charges
If your car's been stuck for longer than expected, some car parks apply overstay charges. This is between you and the car park operator, but if you need help explaining the situation for an appeal, having our arrival time and job details can sometimes support that conversation.
Getting you moving again
Depending on the fault, we may be able to get the car running again on the spot so you can drive out normally, or we'll recover it onto a flatbed and out via whichever exit route works best for the vehicle we've brought.

Cradley Heath questions
Can you fix the car on site so I can just drive out in Cradley Heath?
If it's something we can resolve on scene, yes — otherwise we'll recover it onto a flatbed and take it wherever you need.
Will I need to pay extra car park charges if I'm stuck for a while in Cradley Heath?
Possibly, depending on the car park's policy — that's something to take up with the operator, though we're happy to confirm our arrival and departure times if it helps.
What if my car is blocking other vehicles in Cradley Heath?
We'll prioritise getting it moved as carefully and quickly as safely possible to minimise disruption to other car park users.
Can you get a transporter into Anchor industrial estate?
Usually yes, but tell us the unit and gate before we set off. Some yards around Anchor industrial estate 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 car park recovery cost in Cradley Heath?
We quote a flat figure on the phone based on the actual distance, the vehicle and the access. At roughly 4 miles from base, Cradley Heath is a local job — no per-mile meter, no call-out fee bolted on afterwards.
Do you work at night in Cradley Heath?
Yes — 24 hours, including weekends and bank holidays. Night jobs here are often on light industrial units where nobody wants a truck idling; we keep lighting and noise sensible and load as quickly as we safely can.
