Breakdown Recovery & Vehicle Recovery in Solihull

Recovery calls from Solihull often involve the motorway network wrapped around the borough — the M42 to the east and the A45 heading towards Birmingham Airport — as well as event traffic around the NEC and Resorts World, which can turn a straightforward recovery into a longer job on show days. When you call, the first thing we establish is exactly where the vehicle is and whether it is somewhere we can safely reach.

We recover cars, vans and motorbikes, including non-runners and vehicles with steering or transmission faults, to a garage, home or specialist of your choosing anywhere in the borough or beyond. Car transport for vehicles being bought, sold or relocated is planned the same way, without the urgency of an emergency call.

This covers 24 hour breakdown recovery and emergency breakdown recovery, and nobody can promise a fixed arrival time on roads that include the M42 and NEC event traffic, but we give an honest estimate on the phone, agree the price before travelling, and call if anything changes. See the breakdown recovery page for what we can move and how.

Whether a car has failed on a driveway in Dorridge or on the M42 near Solihull, we recover it to the garage, home or specialist of your choice.

The price is agreed before we travel, based on the vehicle, the distance and the destination.

Motorbikes need different strapping and loading to cars, and we carry the right equipment to recover bikes from village lanes around Meriden or busier roads without damaging bodywork.

Tell us the make and condition of the bike when you call so the right kit comes out.

Driveway work across Dorridge, Knowle, Shirley, Olton and the town centre, subject to safe loading space beside the vehicle.

On the M42, A45 or similar roads we will not work alongside live traffic where it is unsafe — recovery to a safer place comes first.

We confirm the price on the phone before setting off, whatever part of the borough you're in.

Breakdown recovery cost and car recovery cost vary with distance, vehicle type and the destination you choose, and NEC event traffic can occasionally add time to a job. We explain what's driving the price and agree it with you before we travel — we never work to a fixed figure quoted blind.

Recovery from M42 J4, M42 J5, M42 J6 starts with your exact position, direction of travel and a safe loading assessment. On a motorway or fast road, follow the emergency services and road operator's instructions before arranging private recovery. Call 999 for immediate danger, injury or an obstruction.

Your vehicle can be taken to a chosen garage, dealer, home, repair centre or another agreed destination, subject to suitable access and someone being able to receive it. Give both locations before booking. Passenger travel arrangements must be confirmed separately for the individual job.

For a non-runner in Dorridge, Knowle, Shirley, photographs of the vehicle and access can help establish a safe loading plan. A locked wheel, steering problem, height barrier or restricted entrance can change which equipment is appropriate. We confirm what is possible rather than promising a universal towing solution.

Our roadside assistance page explains the distinction between help at the vehicle and recovery to another destination.
