Towing breakdown · Kingshurst B37
Towing breakdown help in Kingshurst (B37) — 24 hours
Drivers ringing us about towing breakdown in Kingshurst usually start with the road name — A45 more often than not — and then the landmark, normally the A452 Chester Road. That is all we need to send the right truck. We treat B37 as a single working patch rather than a scatter of jobs. For reference, Kingshurst covers B37 and falls under Solihull MBC in West Midlands. Everything inside B37 is priced the same way, day or night. A spec-lift handles most of it; the tilt-and-slide comes out for lowered, damaged or non-rolling vehicles.

We recover towing setups across Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell and the Black Country, whether the fault is with the tow car, the trailer or caravan itself, or the hitch and electrics connecting the two.
What is actually going on
If the caravan or trailer has a fault
A wheel bearing failure, a flat or blown trailer tyre, or a hitch that's come loose or jammed are common trailer-specific faults. These can often be dealt with separately from the tow car, and depending on the fault, we may be able to get you moving again with a wheel change or a hitch fix rather than needing to recover the whole outfit.
- Trailer wheel bearing failure — often needs the wheel removed and inspected
- Blown trailer tyre — a spare, if carried, may get you moving again
- Jammed or loose hitch — sometimes fixable on scene, sometimes not
- Let us know the approximate weight of the caravan or trailer when you call
Getting everything to the same place
Where possible, we aim to recover the tow vehicle and the caravan or trailer to the same destination together, whether that's a garage, a caravan dealer, storage, or home, to avoid the added complication of having them end up in different places.
If the tow car has broken down
If it's the towing vehicle that's failed rather than the caravan or trailer, we can typically recover both together, provided the combination doesn't exceed what our recovery vehicle can safely handle — it helps to know the approximate weight of the caravan or trailer when you call.

Getting a truck to you in Kingshurst
Keys, locking wheel nut and paperwork sort out ninety per cent of delays on a Kingshurst collection. Storage, if it is needed, stays inside West Midlands rather than being shipped out of area. One rota covers Kingshurst, Chelmsley Wood, Solihull, Castle Bromwich and the rest of the Solihull MBC area. Winching across a verge or a kerb near Kingshurst Village precinct needs space we would rather plan for than discover.

If you only read one paragraph about towing breakdown here
residential areas like Kingshurst mix 1960s tower blocks with working yards, so the same towing breakdown job can need a spec-lift or a tilt-and-slide. We decide that before dispatch, not on arrival. That is how a Kingshurst job stays a one-truck job. If the vehicle is in a multi-storey, tell us the level: deck height rules out some trucks entirely. 13 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Building stock here is mainly 1960s tower blocks, with 1960s tower blocks on the edges.

Kingshurst questions
Can you take my caravan to a dealer rather than home in Kingshurst?
Yes, we can recover to a caravan dealer, storage site, garage, or your home, whichever suits your situation.
What if the vehicle is blocking A45?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near the A452 Chester Road is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
What if it's the caravan's wheel bearing, not the car in Kingshurst?
We can look at this on scene and, depending on severity, either get you moving again or recover the caravan separately if needed.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Kingshurst?
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.
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 B37 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Can you recover my car and caravan together in Kingshurst?
In most cases yes, provided the combined weight is within what our recovery vehicle can handle — let us know the approximate weight when you call.
