VAN & LIGHT COMMERCIAL RECOVERY
Van Recovery Birmingham
Broken-down vans recovered across Birmingham and the West Midlands, 24/7, so the van, the tools and the job get where they need to be.
AJ Car/Van Recovery recovers vans across Birmingham and the West Midlands, day and night. Transit-size panel vans, small vans, pickups and many light commercial vehicles: if it has stopped and needs moving, call the operator directly.
For a working van, a breakdown isn't only a vehicle problem. It's a missed job, tools you can't get to and a customer waiting. We give you a straight answer on the phone about when we can get there and where the van can go.

WHEN TO CALL
When to call for van recovery
Call when the van can't safely continue: engine or gearbox failure, a clutch that's gone, overheating, a fuel problem or a warning light that comes with a loss of power.
Emergency van recovery is the same call. If you're stopped on a motorway or a main road, tell us first so we can plan around it. If the van just won't start because the battery is flat, a jump start may be all it needs. If it has been in a collision, it's an accident recovery.

FROM CALL TO CLEAR ROAD
What happens after you call
01
Tell us about the van
Make, model, roughly how loaded it is and where it's parked. A photo on WhatsApp helps us plan, especially for high-roof or long-wheelbase vans.
02
Get a clear plan
We confirm the right recovery setup for the van's size and weight and give you an arrival estimate before setting off.
03
Van recovered
The van is loaded and taken to your yard, your garage, a dealer or home, wherever you've agreed.
LOADS & SIZE
Loads, size and weight
Weight decides how a van is recovered, so tell us honestly what's on board. A van with a full load may need to be partly unloaded before it can be moved safely, and we'll tell you that on the phone rather than at the roadside.
If you're not sure whether your van is one we can recover, send the make, model and registration. We'll check and give you a straight answer before you wait for anyone.
NO MEMBERSHIP
No breakdown cover needed
You don't need to be a member of anything or sign up in advance. You call when you need us, speak to the operator and get a clear plan for the job.
No fleet contract needed. If the load means the job changes, we tell you before anything happens.

QUESTIONS
Van recovery questions
Can you recover a van with a full load?
Often, but it depends on the van and the weight. Tell us what's on board when you call. If it needs to be partly unloaded first, we'll say so before setting off.
Do you do emergency van recovery at night?
Yes. Van recovery is available 24/7, including weekends and bank holidays.
Can you take my van to a dealer or main agent?
Yes. Give us the address. If they're closed when we arrive, we'll agree with you where the van should go instead.
Do you recover high-roof and long-wheelbase vans?
Tell us the make, model and roof height when you call. Size changes the recovery setup, so we confirm we can do it before you wait.
My van won't start on site. Can you help?
Yes. A flat battery can often be jump started where the van is parked. If it still won't start, we can recover it to a garage.
