Sorted in Mere Green: ev flat handled 24/7
If you are dealing with ev flat anywhere in Mere Green, we are roughly 13 miles away in Oldbury and come in via M6 Toll T4. That matters because it decides whether this is a short local job or a relay — for Mere Green it is almost always the former. Mere Green is close enough to base that we quote it as a local run, not a distance job. The two roads that matter locally are A453 and A5127, with M6 Toll T4 for anything longer. You deal with the same operation from the first call to the drop-off. Winching across a verge or a kerb near the A5127 corridor needs space we would rather plan for than discover.
- B75 postcode area
- M6 Toll T4

We recover EVs across Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell and the Black Country on flatbeds appropriate for electric vehicles, since most EVs shouldn't be towed conventionally with the wheels on the road due to the electric motors and regenerative braking system.

Why it happens
Getting safe first
If your battery indicator is heading towards zero, try to reach a safe place to stop rather than pushing on hoping for a few more miles — many EVs give a fairly accurate remaining range estimate, but hills, weather and heating use can all reduce it faster than expected. Hazard lights on, and get yourself and passengers safe if you're on a faster road.
Planning ahead
If range anxiety is a recurring issue on certain routes, it's worth building in a bigger buffer than the display suggests, particularly in cold weather or on motorways at higher speeds, both of which noticeably increase energy use compared with the official range figures.
Where we take you
We can recover you to the nearest working public charger, though it's worth checking it's actually operational and compatible with your car before we set off, since arriving at a broken or incompatible charger doesn't solve the problem. Recovery to your home charger is usually the most reliable option if that's not too far.
- Check the nearest charger is working before heading there
- Home charger recovery is often simplest if it's not too far away
- Cold weather and hills reduce range faster than the display may suggest
- We load EVs on a flatbed — no towing on driven wheels

Recap for B75
Mere Green sits in B75 under Birmingham City Council, roughly 13 miles from our Oldbury yard and 9 from the city centre. EV flat here usually means working around modern retail units and access off A453, so we plan the truck before it leaves. Weather makes more difference on the A453 gradients than most people expect. We confirm the drop address before leaving Mere Green so nothing is decided kerbside. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike. New Oscott is the nearest larger centre, which is where a lot of Mere Green drops end up.
Mere Green questions
Can you get a transporter into Mere Green Road retail parades?
Usually yes, but tell us the unit and gate before we set off. Some yards around Mere Green Road retail parades have height barriers or a tight turning circle, in which case we bring the spec-lift and winch out to the access road instead.
How do I know if a charger near me is actually working in Mere Green?
It's worth checking a charging app or the charge point operator's status before heading there, since arriving at a faulty charger with an empty battery isn't ideal.
Will towing damage my EV in Mere Green?
Many EVs shouldn't be towed conventionally due to the motor and regenerative braking system, which is why we load them onto a flatbed instead.
What does ev flat cost in Mere Green?
We quote a flat figure on the phone based on the actual distance, the vehicle and the access. At roughly 13 miles from base, Mere Green is a local job — no per-mile meter, no call-out fee bolted on afterwards.
Is it safe to keep driving on very low range in Mere Green?
It's risky, since actual range can drop faster than displayed in cold weather, on motorways, or uphill — better to stop somewhere safe once you're uncertain.
Do you work at night in Mere Green?
Yes — 24 hours, including weekends and bank holidays. Night jobs here are often on modern retail units where nobody wants a truck idling; we keep lighting and noise sensible and load as quickly as we safely can.
