Loading on a slope
On a steep street the car is winched onto the bed rather than driven, with the wheels chocked, so it cannot roll back. Tell us if you are parked on a hill and which way the car is facing.

24/7 Car Recovery Dudley
Steep streets, busy retail car parks and two M5 junctions: recovery in Dudley needs local knowledge. We cover the whole borough, from Sedgley to Stourbridge, and agree the price first.

Hills, the castle and the ridge
Dudley sits high on a ridge, and many of its streets are steep. That changes how a car is loaded.
Castle Hill and Tipton Road
Visitors to Dudley Zoo and the Black Country Living Museum sometimes return to a car that will not start. We collect from the visitor car parks and can take the car home or to a garage near where you live.
Sedgley and Netherton
Tight terraced streets and parked cars on both sides leave little room for a truck. We may ask you to push the car to a wider spot if it is safe to do so.
Merry Hill, Stourbridge and Halesowen
South of the town centre, most breakdowns happen in car parks and on ring roads.
Merry Hill car parks
On busy weekends the Merry Hill car parks are packed. Tell us the car park and the nearest entrance, and we will get as close as the layout allows.
Stourbridge ring road
Stourbridge's one-way ring road is tight and busy. If you break down on it, put the hazards on, get out on the pavement side and call. We approach in the right direction so the truck can stop behind you.
Halesowen and M5 junction 3
The A456 links Halesowen with the M5 at junction 3. Breakdowns here often end up at a garage in Halesowen or back in Birmingham, and we can do either.
M5 junction 2 and the Burnt Tree island
The main routes between Dudley, Birmingham and Wolverhampton meet on the north side of the town.
M5 junction 2, Oldbury
Junction 2 is where many Dudley drivers join the M5. Call with the direction and the last junction you passed.
Burnt Tree island
The A461 and the A4123 Birmingham New Road cross at Burnt Tree, one of the busiest junctions in the Black Country. If you stop near it, get off the island and onto a side road if the car will still move.
Russells Hall Hospital
We collect from the hospital car parks and load away from the emergency entrances.
