Breakdown recovery Halesowen

Halesowen backs onto the M5 at junction 3, so we cover both town-centre jobs and motorway callouts from the same base. The hilly approach roads also mean we see more than our share of clutch, brake and handbrake problems.

How we get to you

Recovering in Halesowen

Six and a half miles. We come out along the A456 or drop down from the M5 depending on which side of town you are on, and both routes into Halesowen are quick outside peak hours.

The roads we know here

A456 Manor Way The main route in and out and the road we use most. Dual carriageway in parts, so a breakdown here needs clearing quickly.
M5 junction 3 Our closest motorway access to you. Slip-road breakdowns are treated as priority work.
Halesowen bypass and the town centre ring Easier to work on than the side streets, with space for a flatbed to sit safely.
Romsley and Clent lanes Steep, narrow and often single-track. Expect us to approach from the nearest wider road and come to you on foot first.

What we get called for

Clutch, brake and handbrake failures on the steeper roads around Halesowen
Breakdowns on Manor Way and the bypass
Motorway recoveries from the M5 junction 3 slip roads
Cars stranded on the narrow lanes towards Romsley and Clent

Landmarks and areas covered

Halesowen town centre, Manor Way, the Cornbow Centre, M5 junction 3, and the lanes towards Romsley and Clent.

Local knowledge: what makes Halesowen different

Halesowen's geography does half the work in explaining our callouts here. The town sits on a hill and a lot of the residential roads towards Romsley and Clent are steep and narrow, which is why clutch and handbrake failures show up more often than they do in flatter parts of the city. Practically, that means two things: on the lanes we may need to come to you on foot first to work out the safest way to get a loaded truck out, and a vehicle with a seized brake needs skates rather than a push. Both are normal for us — just describe the gradient and the width when you call.

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.”

SM Stasenko ML Google review

“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

Halesowen recovery FAQs

Typically 25–35 minutes from your call, depending on traffic and which truck is nearest. We run a 20-mile radius from our Edgbaston depot and Halesowen sits 6.4 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 B62 and B63, along with the surrounding streets and the main routes through the area — the A456 Manor Way, M5 junction 3 and the Halesowen bypass. 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.

Because of the hills. Stop-start driving on gradients puts far more load through a clutch, and the steep residential roads towards Romsley and Clent are hard on brakes and handbrakes as well. If your car will not roll because a brake has seized, tell us and we will bring skates.

Usually yes, but we may need to walk to you first and work out the safest extraction, and we may not be able to get a loaded flatbed right to your door. Be ready for us to recover the vehicle to the nearest wider road before loading.

Yes, and it is our closest motorway access to Halesowen. Slip-road breakdowns are treated as priority. Get clear of the carriageway and call us with the junction and your direction of travel.

It is 6.4 miles from the depot, so typically 25 to 35 minutes. We will tell you where the nearest truck is rather than give you a number we cannot keep.
