Modified vehicle · Kings Heath B13
Sorted in Kings Heath: modified vehicle handled 24/7
If modified vehicle has stopped you in B13, the practical questions are how far the vehicle has to travel, where it is going, and what it is standing on. From Kings Heath that is typically a short run inside West Midlands. Kerb heights on A4040 outer ring decide whether we winch or drive on. Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the Birmingham City Council area. Common collection points: Highbury Park periphery, the parking by the A435 corridor, and independent shopfronts. On tight conversion flats we bring skates rather than argue with a turning circle.

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.
Getting a truck to you in Kings Heath
Every Kings Heath job starts with two questions: where exactly, and can the vehicle roll? If the vehicle is in a multi-storey, tell us the level: deck height rules out some trucks entirely. Overnight, most work here is on conversion flats rather than main roads. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point.
Why it happens
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
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.
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.
Kit that matters on these streets
- •Drivers who know the A435 Alcester Road corridor and its width restrictions
- •Flat price agreed before we roll, including out-of-hours
- •Recovery operator liability and public liability cover in force

Kings Heath questions
Can you handle wider wheels or aggressive fitment in Kings Heath?
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 Kings Heath?
We can use loading boards or alternative angles specifically to protect low-hanging bodywork like splitters and lips.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Kings Heath?
Not always. For collections from independent shopfronts or a unit near Highbury Park periphery 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.
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 B13 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Do I need to tell you about my modifications before you arrive in Kings Heath?
It's genuinely helpful — ride height, splitters and wheel fitment all affect how we plan the loading and reduce any risk of contact.
What if the vehicle is blocking A435 Alcester Road?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near the A435 corridor is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
