Sorted in Bordesley Green: modified vehicle handled 24/7
Most modified vehicle calls we take from Bordesley Green come from the same handful of places: metal and salvage units off A45 Coventry Road, the parking around the A47, and the yards at Adderley Street. Where the vehicle is standing changes what we can do on scene, so that is the first thing the dispatcher asks. Birmingham City Council covers this patch, and Bordesley Green itself is a industrial area rather than a single high street. Units around Bordesley Green industrial units are the busiest commercial pickup points on this patch. Parked-both-sides streets around metal and salvage units are the usual constraint rather than distance. Nothing about a B9 job is guesswork by the time we arrive.

We recover low and modified vehicles across Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell and the Black Country with an awareness of these clearance issues, using shallower ramp angles, loading boards, or alternative methods depending on exactly how the car's been set up.
What is actually going on
What's useful to tell us in advance
Knowing roughly how low the car is (or the specific spring/coilover setup if you know it), whether there's a front splitter, lip, or underbody protection, and whether the wheels are wider or more aggressively fitted than standard all help us plan the right equipment before we arrive rather than improvising on the day.
- Approximate ride height drop or coilover setup if known
- Any front splitter, lip spoiler or underbody addons
- Wider wheels or aggressive fitment that might affect loading width
- Whether the car has any known clearance issues on regular ramps or speed bumps
Loading methods we use
Depending on the car, we might use loading boards to extend and shallow the ramp angle, position the vehicle at an angle to clear a splitter, or in some cases use a winch and low-profile approach to avoid any contact at all. It's rarely a one-size-fits-all job with modified cars.
Prestige and performance considerations
Many low and modified cars are also higher value or performance vehicles where cosmetic damage matters more than average. We take extra care with wheel positioning and strapping points to avoid marking aftermarket wheels or bodywork during transport.

Bordesley Green 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 B9 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
What if the vehicle is blocking A45 Coventry Road?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near the A47 is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
Do I need to tell you about my modifications before you arrive in Bordesley Green?
It's genuinely helpful — ride height, splitters and wheel fitment all affect how we plan the loading and reduce any risk of contact.
Can you handle wider wheels or aggressive fitment in Bordesley Green?
Yes, we take wheel width and offset into account when securing the vehicle for transport.
What if my car has a front splitter that's easily damaged in Bordesley Green?
We can use loading boards or alternative angles specifically to protect low-hanging bodywork like splitters and lips.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Bordesley Green?
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.
