How we get to you

Recovering in Dudley

Just under eight miles out, straight up the A4123 Birmingham New Road. It is a consistent run with no city-centre pinch points, which is why our arrival window here is tighter than you might expect for the distance.

The roads we know here

A4123 Birmingham New Road Our main route and a fast one. Dual carriageway, so a stalled vehicle needs moving off the live lane before we load.
Castlegate Way and Duncan Edwards Way The town centre ring. Busy with retail traffic but wide, so positioning is straightforward.
Dudley Port and Tipton Road Industrial and commercial frontages with yards, which makes loading easy.
Gornal, Sedgley and the Brierley Hill corridor Residential and hillier; we normally work from the nearest junction or driveway.

What we get called for

Collision recovery on the Birmingham New Road
Vehicles immobilised in the town centre and Castlegate car parks
Home-start battery jobs across the DY postcodes
Commercial vehicle recoveries from Dudley Port and the industrial estates

Landmarks and areas covered

Dudley town centre, Castlegate, the Zoological Gardens, Dudley Port, Gornal, Sedgley and the A4123 Birmingham New Road.

Local knowledge: what makes Dudley different

The A4123 shapes our Dudley work the same way the A34 shapes Perry Barr — it is the fastest way in and out but it is a dual carriageway with limited stopping space, so any breakdown on it becomes a priority job. The other thing worth knowing is that Dudley's town centre car parks are mostly open-air and multi-level rather than deep basements, which makes them easier for us than the Birmingham city centre equivalents — a dead battery here is usually a quick recovery.

MG Matt Griffiths Google review

“Impeccable service from Simpsons breakdown recovery. Really tricky job getting my non starter car out of an underground garage with a low ceiling and tight corners. Both Dean and Jaden handled the task expertly and provided an excellent and freindly service.”

“Friendly and quick service. Had a break down, which obviously made my day bad. But the guy overturned my mood into a good one. The price was very good too, compared to others, I would even say that the price was amazing.”

✓ Fair, competitive pricing

Common questions

Dudley recovery FAQs

Typically 30–40 minutes from your call, depending on traffic and which truck is nearest. We run a 20-mile radius from our Edgbaston depot and Dudley sits 7.8 miles from the depot. When you ring 07706 057962 you speak to a driver who can see where our vehicles are and give you a genuine arrival window rather than a best guess.

We cover DY1, DY2 and DY3, along with the surrounding streets and the main routes through the area — the A4123 Birmingham New Road, Castlegate Way and Duncan Edwards Way. If you are just outside these postcodes, call with your location and we will tell you straight away whether we can get to you.

No. We quote a fixed price before the truck is dispatched, whatever the hour. There is no after-hours loading added later, no hidden mileage surcharge, and no charge for getting a price from us.

Yes. Multi-storey and basement car parks are one of our specialities. We carry low-profile wheel skates, dollies and compact winching equipment, so a vehicle that will not start or will not roll can be moved out without damage to the bodywork, the wheels or the building.

Typically 30 to 40 minutes. Dudley is 7.8 miles from our Edgbaston depot and the A4123 is a straightforward run, so the wait is usually more predictable than jobs closer in.

Yes, all three, plus Dudley Port, Netherton and the Brierley Hill corridor. The hillier residential roads are narrower, so we may recover the vehicle to a junction before loading.

Yes. The Castlegate and town centre car parks are mostly open-air or open-deck rather than deep basements, so we can usually reach the vehicle directly instead of recovering it to a barrier.

We do. A flat battery at home is one of the most common Dudley jobs we get. If the car starts and holds charge we can often get you going on the spot rather than towing it anywhere.
