Van Recovery Across Selly Oak — Same-Day, Every Day
In Selly Oak we mostly help tradespeople, couriers, mobile fitters, working around student housing and Victorian terraces.
Selly Oak is a residential area with a distinct mix of student housing and Victorian terraces, and the van recovery jobs we see there reflect that. In an average week we're called to loaded transit vans that will not start on site and high-top vans blocking narrow trade unit access within a couple of miles of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Our base in Oldbury sits roughly 6 miles away, which is why our first ETA for Selly Oak usually starts with a "two" or a "three".
