Modified vehicle across Curdworth and B76 — roadside or recovery
Curdworth is a industrial area of about B76, and modified vehicle here is rarely just a mechanical question — it is also an access question. A vehicle stuck on village housing needs a different approach to one sitting in an open car park near M42 Junction 9. Which is why locals ring us rather than a national line. If M42 J9 is queueing, the driver reroutes rather than sitting in it. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up. Building stock here is mainly village housing, with trade counters on the edges.

Cars with lowered suspension, aftermarket splitters, wide arches or aggressive stance setups need a different approach to recovery than a standard family car — a normal ramp angle that's fine for most vehicles can catch a low front splitter or scrape the underside of a lowered car badly.
Getting a truck to you in Curdworth
Because Coleshill is next door, a job in Curdworth often pairs with one there on the same shift. Gated yards at the Kingsbury Road corridor often have a height barrier; a gate code saves ten minutes. Common collection points: Curdworth industrial park, the parking by Curdworth Locks, and village housing. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves.
What usually causes it
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.
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
Why standard loading can cause damage
A typical flatbed ramp angle is designed around normal ride heights. A car lowered even 30-40mm can catch a front splitter or lip spoiler on the transition point of the ramp, and the same applies to the rear on departure. We assess ride height and any aftermarket bodywork before deciding how to load.

Curdworth questions
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.
Will a normal recovery truck damage my lowered car in Curdworth?
It can if the ramp angle isn't adjusted for the car's ride height, which is why we ask about your setup in advance and use appropriate loading methods.
Do I need to tell you about my modifications before you arrive in Curdworth?
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 Curdworth?
Yes, we take wheel width and offset into account when securing the vehicle for transport.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B76?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Curdworth on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Curdworth?
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.

Curdworth and modified vehicle — where that leaves you
We cover Curdworth every day, not occasionally. That is why this page talks about Curdworth Locks and Curdworth industrial park rather than listing every town in Warwickshire. Recovery from village housing at night is planned for the quietest access, not the shortest. Units around the Kingsbury Road corridor are the busiest commercial pickup points on this patch. A spec-lift handles most of it; the tilt-and-slide comes out for lowered, damaged or non-rolling vehicles. Everything inside B76 is priced the same way, day or night.
