ACCIDENT & COLLISION RECOVERY
COLLISION RECOVERY WITHOUT THE CHAOS.
When the road suddenly changes, you need clear decisions—not more noise. We recover damaged and non-running vehicles across Birmingham and the West Midlands.
AT THE SCENE
PEOPLE FIRST. VEHICLE SECOND.
1. Check for injuries and call emergency services if needed.
2. Move to a safe position away from live traffic.
3. Call us once the scene is safe and accessible.
THE RIGHT RECOVERY PLAN
DAMAGE DOESN’T ALWAYS LOOK THE SAME
Steering damage, locked wheels and exposed bodywork all change how a vehicle should be loaded. We ask the right questions before arrival.
A / IMPACT
COLLISION-DAMAGED
Careful loading for vehicles that cannot be driven safely after impact.
B / NON-RUNNER
LOCKED OR IMMOBILE
Recovery planning for flat tyres, seized wheels, steering issues or non-starts.
C / DESTINATION
GARAGE DELIVERY
Transport to your chosen bodyshop, mechanic, storage facility or home address.
D / CLEARANCE
ROAD CLEARING
Practical removal from local roads, car parks and accessible incident locations.
CAR ACCIDENT RECOVERY BIRMINGHAM
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU CALL
For car accident recovery in Birmingham and the West Midlands, you speak directly to the operator. Tell us where the vehicle is, what damage you can see and whether it can roll or steer. We give you an arrival estimate before we set off.
At the scene, the driver checks the vehicle, loads it safely and clears it from the road, car park or verge. It then goes where you choose: your home, your own garage, a bodyshop or a storage facility.
NOT AN ACCIDENT?
THE RIGHT RECOVERY FOR THE SITUATION
If the car is only stopped by a flat tyre or a fault rather than impact damage, see breakdown recovery. If you’re stranded somewhere unsafe, it’s an emergency recovery.

QUESTIONS
ACCIDENT RECOVERY QUESTIONS
Can you recover a car that can't roll or steer after an accident?
Usually, yes. Locked wheels, steering damage and flat tyres change how the vehicle is loaded, so tell us what you can see when you call and we'll plan the recovery before arrival.
Where will my car go after the accident?
Wherever you choose: your home, your own garage, a bodyshop or a storage facility. If you don't know yet, tell us and we'll talk through the options on the phone.
Can you recover a damaged car from a car park?
Usually, yes. Height barriers decide which vehicle can get in, so tell us the car park, the level and any height limit when you call.
Do you recover vans after a collision?
Yes. Accident recovery covers cars, vans, motorcycles, 4x4s and many light commercial vehicles.
