Dealing with non-runner in Curdworth, near M42 Junction 9
We get non-runner calls from Curdworth at every hour, and the honest answer is that half of them are solved at the roadside. The other half need a deck, and knowing which is which before we leave the yard 15 miles away saves everyone money. In B76 the controlled-parking bays matter: a truck cannot sit there indefinitely. Landmarks we use for Curdworth directions: M42 Junction 9 and the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal. Night work near M42 Junction 9 is kept quiet and quick — lights down, loaded, gone. One rota covers Curdworth, Minworth, Coleshill, Water Orton and the rest of the North Warwickshire Borough Council area.

Buying or selling a project car, a barn find, or something that's simply been sat too long to start reliably means it needs transporting rather than driven, and that's exactly the kind of job flatbed recovery is suited for, regardless of whether the car turns over at all.
The likely cause
Vehicles that don't roll freely
A seized engine, seized brakes, or flat and perished tyres can mean a car won't roll even when pushed, which needs different loading equipment such as dollies or a winch rather than simply driving it up a ramp. Let us know if you suspect the car won't move freely so we bring the right kit.
Buying or selling at a distance
If you're buying a project car from a private seller and can't drive it home, or selling one to a buyer who needs it delivered, we can handle the collection and delivery leg so neither party needs to arrange their own trailer or worry about towing something unroadworthy.
Cars with no key or missing parts
Project cars often come without keys, a working ignition, or sometimes even seats and an interior. None of this stops us loading and transporting the vehicle, since it doesn't need to be driven onto the truck — we can winch it aboard regardless.
- Seized or non-rolling vehicles need dollies or winching, not driving
- Missing keys, seats or interior don't prevent safe transport
- Let us know the vehicle's actual condition in advance, not just 'non-runner'
- We can collect from fields, garages, storage units or private sales

Getting a truck to you in Curdworth

Nothing about a B76 job is guesswork by the time we arrive. Two-vehicle jobs out of the Kingsbury Road corridor are loaded in one visit where weight allows.

Curdworth questions
Does the car need to start or roll for you to move it in Curdworth?
No, we can load vehicles that are completely seized or won't roll, using dollies or a winch rather than needing the car to move under its own power.
What if the vehicle is blocking A4097?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near M42 Junction 9 is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
What if the car has no interior or is missing panels in Curdworth?
That's not a problem for transport — we secure the vehicle for the journey regardless of its cosmetic or interior condition.
Can you take the vehicle to a garage outside Curdworth?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Curdworth itself or in Minworth, but we will run further if that is where your repairer is. Give us the destination on the call so it is inside the quoted price.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Curdworth?
Not always. For collections from village housing or a unit near the Kingsbury 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.
Can you collect from a private seller's driveway or a field in Curdworth?
Yes, we regularly collect project cars and non-runners from all sorts of locations, including fields, garages and private sales.
