Non-runner · Tyseley B11
Non-runner help in Tyseley (B11) — 24 hours
If non-runner has stopped you in B11, the practical questions are how far the vehicle has to travel, where it is going, and what it is standing on. From Tyseley that is typically a short run inside West Midlands. Roughly 4 miles of city sits between Tyseley and the centre, which is why we approach from M42 J5 rather than through it. Fuel type matters before we tow: EVs and hybrids from B11/B25 go on the deck, not on a rope. 8 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Distances we work to here: 8 miles from the Oldbury yard, 4 to the city centre.
- A45 Coventry Road
- Tyseley industrial estate
- the Tyseley energy-from-waste plant
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 Tyseley
If you can see the Tyseley energy-from-waste plant from where you are standing, the driver already knows the approach. On tight distribution warehouses we bring skates rather than argue with a turning circle. Second road option if A45 Coventry Road is blocked: A4040 outer ring. Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the Birmingham City Council area.
What is actually going on
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.
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

- Fully insured for goods-in-transit while your vehicle is on our deck

Tyseley in practical terms
Tyseley sits under Birmingham City Council with B11/B25 covering most of the built-up area. The nearest motorway access is M42 J5, and the arterial route through is A45 Coventry Road. Practically, that means our driver reaches you without crossing the city centre.
Residential and commercial jobs differ here
A domestic non-runner job in Tyseley is usually about getting one car to one garage. A commercial one is about downtime — a van off the road near Tyseley industrial estate is a day's work gone, so we prioritise a roadside attempt before recovery.
- Homeowners and tenants: recovery to a local garage or your driveway
- Landlords and letting agents: vehicles blocking access at managed properties
- Fleet and courier operators: same-shift turnaround where possible
- Dealers and bodyshops around Hall Green: stock movements
Tyseley questions
What if the car has no interior or is missing panels in Tyseley?
That's not a problem for transport — we secure the vehicle for the journey regardless of its cosmetic or interior condition.
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 B11 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
Can you collect from a private seller's driveway or a field in Tyseley?
Yes, we regularly collect project cars and non-runners from all sorts of locations, including fields, garages and private sales.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B11?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Tyseley on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
Should I mention if the car has low ground clearance or fragile bodywork in Tyseley?
Yes, please let us know anything unusual about the vehicle in advance so we can plan the loading approach carefully.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Tyseley?
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.

Next step from Tyseley
Coverage here runs from Tyseley through Hall Green, Small Heath, Acocks Green, all inside West Midlands. Non-runner is available 24 hours with the same dispatcher and the same rate card. Keys, locking wheel nut and paperwork sort out ninety per cent of delays on a Tyseley collection. The Birmingham City Council restrictions along A45 Coventry Road affect where a truck can legally stop. A spec-lift handles most of it; the tilt-and-slide comes out for lowered, damaged or non-rolling vehicles. Which matters more in Tyseley than raw response times ever will.
