Home recovery near the Castle Bromwich vehicle plant, Castle Bromwich — same-day recovery

Being stuck at home isn't necessarily any easier to deal with than breaking down elsewhere — a car that won't start on the drive still needs moving if you need the space, and a car wedged in a garage or unable to clear a steep driveway kerb needs careful, considered recovery rather than brute force.

The likely cause
Low garages and tight access
A garage with a low door frame or a narrow entrance can limit what recovery equipment can get close enough to help. We'll ask about garage dimensions and access when you call so we can plan whether the car needs to come out under its own limited power, on a dolly, or via a different method.
Where we take it from there
Once it's off your drive or out of the garage, we can take it straight to a garage for repair, or simply reposition it if you just needed the space and the fault can wait. Whatever suits your situation.
Getting the car out without causing more damage
If a car is stuck because of a mechanical fault such as a seized handbrake or gearbox issue rather than simply not starting, forcing it out of a tight garage space risks making things worse. We take a careful look at why it's stuck before deciding how to move it.

- Landlords and letting agents: vehicles blocking access at managed properties
- Fleet and courier operators: same-shift turnaround where possible
- Dealers and bodyshops around Erdington: stock movements
