Sorted in Kingstanding: non-runner handled 24/7
Under Birmingham City Council, Kingstanding mixes semi-detached houses with working units at Kingstanding Road trade units. Non-runner in the first is a parking and access problem; in the second it is a downtime problem. This page deals with both. Vehicles collected near the former Kingstanding Odeon are usually loaded from the offside because of the camber. If the vehicle is in a multi-storey, tell us the level: deck height rules out some trucks entirely. 8 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. If you are unsure of the postcode, B44 plus a landmark such as the former Kingstanding Odeon is enough.

We move non-runners and project cars across Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell and the Black Country, loading vehicles that don't start, don't roll freely, or are missing wheels, keys or an interior, using appropriate equipment for whatever condition the car's actually in.
Getting a truck to you in Kingstanding
Kingstanding sits roughly 5 miles out from the city centre, so we rarely route through town to reach you. Because Kingstanding is only 8 miles from base, jobs here are single-truck with no relay. Great Barr is the nearest larger centre, which is where a lot of Kingstanding drops end up. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike.
What usually causes it
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
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.
Access for older or unusual vehicles
Older project cars, kit cars or partially restored vehicles sometimes have unusual dimensions, low ground clearance, or fragile bodywork. Telling us about anything unusual in advance means we can plan loading carefully rather than risk damage on the day.
Why operators in Kingstanding use us
- Recovery operator liability and public liability cover in force
