Modified vehicle · Wylde Green B72
Sorted in Wylde Green: modified vehicle handled 24/7
This page covers modified vehicle specifically for drivers and businesses in Wylde Green, under Birmingham City Council. The general advice is the same everywhere; the practical bit — where we can set a truck down, which route in works, what the job costs from here — is not. Kerb heights on A38 decide whether we winch or drive on. On tight 1930s semis we bring skates rather than argue with a turning circle. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves. Second road option if A5127 is blocked: A38.

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 Wylde Green
Which is why locals ring us rather than a national line. 11 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Building stock here is mainly local parades, with 1930s semis on the edges. Where the vehicle sits on private land rather than a live road, the legal position and the price both change.
What usually causes it
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.
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.

Wylde Green questions
Do I need to tell you about my modifications before you arrive in Wylde Green?
It's genuinely helpful — ride height, splitters and wheel fitment all affect how we plan the loading and reduce any risk of contact.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Wylde Green?
Not always. For collections from local parades or a unit near the Birmingham Road corridor 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 B72 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
What if my car has a front splitter that's easily damaged in Wylde Green?
We can use loading boards or alternative angles specifically to protect low-hanging bodywork like splitters and lips.
Will a normal recovery truck damage my lowered car in Wylde Green?
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.
What if the vehicle is blocking A5127?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near Rectory Park is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.

Nearest larger centre is Boldmere; the yard is 11 miles the other way. You deal with the same operation from the first call to the drop-off.
