Towing breakdown · Weoley Castle B29
Towing breakdown help in Weoley Castle (B29) — 24 hours
Towing breakdown does not care what postcode you are in, but the fix does. In Weoley Castle (B29) the deciding factors are usually parking on local parades, the width of the approach off A4040 outer ring, and whether the vehicle still rolls. Weoley Castle sits roughly 5 miles out from the city centre, so we rarely route through town to reach you. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck. Building stock here is mainly local parades, with 1930s council estates on the edges. If the vehicle is in a multi-storey, tell us the level: deck height rules out some trucks entirely.

Common causes we see
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
Electrical faults between car and trailer
Trailer lights not working, often traced to a faulty connector, damaged wiring, or a blown fuse on the tow car side, is one of the more common issues. This is sometimes fixable on scene with the right connector or fuse, though it can also point to a wiring fault that needs a proper look.
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.

Weoley Castle questions
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 B29 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
What if it's the caravan's wheel bearing, not the car in Weoley Castle?
We can look at this on scene and, depending on severity, either get you moving again or recover the caravan separately if needed.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B29?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Weoley Castle on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
Can you take my caravan to a dealer rather than home in Weoley Castle?
Yes, we can recover to a caravan dealer, storage site, garage, or your home, whichever suits your situation.
My trailer lights have stopped working — is that something you can fix in Weoley Castle?
Sometimes, if it's a simple connector or fuse issue. More involved wiring faults may need a specialist look.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Weoley Castle?
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.
