Write-off · Curdworth B76
Write-off across Curdworth and B76 — roadside or recovery
Write-off does not care what postcode you are in, but the fix does. In Curdworth (B76) the deciding factors are usually parking on trade counters, the width of the approach off A4097, and whether the vehicle still rolls. Curdworth runs on A446, and almost every job here starts with working out where on it you are. Gated yards at the Kingsbury Road corridor often have a height barrier; a gate code saves ten minutes. Second road option if A446 is blocked: A4097. That approach is why Curdworth repeat callers ask for the same driver.
- A446
- Curdworth industrial park
- the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal
Once a car's been declared a write-off, it usually needs to move on from wherever it's currently sitting — your driveway, a bodyshop, or wherever it ended up after an accident — to a salvage yard, auction, or buyer specified by your insurer.

Why it happens
What your insurer typically needs
Most insurers or their salvage agents will give you a reference number, collection address and destination once the write-off has been agreed. Having these details ready when you book collection helps things run smoothly, since the destination is usually specific rather than a general scrapyard of your choosing.
Getting the car ready for collection
It's worth removing personal belongings, checking for anything left in the boot or door pockets, and clearing out things like parking permits, dash cams, or child seats before collection, since these often get overlooked once the write-off process is underway and the car changes hands.
- Have your insurer's reference number and destination details ready
- Remove all personal belongings before the vehicle is collected
- Take your own photos of the car's final condition if useful for your records
- Confirm who's authorised the collection if it's not you directly
Collecting from awkward locations
Write-off cars are sometimes sitting somewhere less accessible than a normal driveway — a bodyshop yard, a side street, or wherever the accident left it. We work around this in the same way as any other recovery job, and can collect from wherever the vehicle currently is.

Curdworth questions
What if I haven't removed everything from the car yet in Curdworth?
It's best to clear personal belongings before collection, since access afterwards may be limited depending on where the vehicle goes next.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Curdworth?
Not always. For collections from trade counters or a unit near Curdworth industrial park we can work with a key safe or a nominated contact, provided we have written authority and someone to receive the vehicle at the other end.
Where does the car go once collected in Curdworth?
Usually to a salvage yard or buyer specified by your insurer or their salvage agent, based on the details you provide us.
Do I need to be present for the collection in Curdworth?
It depends on your insurer's requirements and any paperwork needed, but let us know your availability and we'll coordinate around it where possible.
Are you insured to move my vehicle across Warwickshire?
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 Warwickshire.
What if the vehicle is blocking A446?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
