Sorted in Minworth: towing breakdown handled 24/7
Minworth is a industrial area of about B76, and towing breakdown here is rarely just a mechanical question — it is also an access question. A vehicle stuck on logistics parks needs a different approach to one sitting in an open car park near Minworth sewage treatment works. The quickest way in is M6 J5, then down towards the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal. Insurance work from Minworth gets a written condition record before the straps go on. Building stock here is mainly logistics parks, with light industrial units on the edges. Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the Birmingham City Council area.

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.
Getting a truck to you in Minworth
From M6 J5 the running time barely changes between 3pm and 3am. 12 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Trade sites we visit most: Minworth industrial estate and Forge Lane trading area. Access off A452 Chester Road narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch.
Why it happens
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.
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

- Dealership stock movements between sites

Minworth questions
Can you recover my car and caravan together in Minworth?
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.
Can you take my caravan to a dealer rather than home in Minworth?
Yes, we can recover to a caravan dealer, storage site, garage, or your home, whichever suits your situation.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Minworth?
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.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B76?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Minworth on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
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 B76 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
What if it's the caravan's wheel bearing, not the car in Minworth?
We can look at this on scene and, depending on severity, either get you moving again or recover the caravan separately if needed.

The practical bit
Nothing on this page changes if you ring at 3am. Same desk, same rota, same pricing across B76. A 12-mile approach means the truck arrives with fuel, kit and space still on the deck. Everything inside B76 is priced the same way, day or night. A 8-mile run into the centre is sometimes slower than a longer route round. Landmarks we use for Minworth directions: the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal and Minworth sewage treatment works.
