Smethwick's Local Choice for Accident Recovery
In Smethwick we mostly help private motorists, insurers, accident management firms, working around Victorian workshops and converted factories.
Smethwick is a industrial area with a distinct mix of Victorian workshops and converted factories, and the accident recovery jobs we see there reflect that. In an average week we're called to single-vehicle incidents on roundabouts and shunts in supermarket car parks within a couple of miles of Smethwick Galton Bridge station. Our base in Oldbury sits roughly 2 miles away, which is why our first ETA for Smethwick usually starts with a "two" or a "three".

How we handle accident recovery here
Accident Recovery in Smethwick usually means one of a few things. The equipment on the truck matters: we bring tilt-and-slide beds with low approach angles and sweeping kit for glass and debris, and we plan access around Victorian workshops which are common here. Worth knowing: damaged wheels often mean skates rather than a direct winch.
