How we get to you

Recovering in Walsall

Nine and a half miles, and the widest radius we work at. We usually route up the A34 or drop in from the M6, which means on a busy day we can approach from whichever side is moving.

The roads we know here

M6 junctions 9 and 10 Our busiest Walsall work. Both are large interchanges with long slip roads — treat them as motorway breakdowns and get behind the barrier.
A34 and the Broadway The main route into town. Wide, with retail frontages, so loading is normally straightforward.
Pleck Road and Bescot Industrial and commercial, with yards and loading bays that make recovery easy.
Town centre and the Saddlers Centre Restricted parking and bus routes; we normally recover to the nearest permitted loading point.

What we get called for

Motorway recoveries around M6 junctions 9 and 10
Warehouse and delivery vans failing at loading bays
Accident clearance and vehicle movement after a collision
Fleet vehicles recovered to Walsall business parks and yards

Landmarks and areas covered

Walsall town centre, the Saddlers Centre, Pleck, Bescot Stadium, Bescot retail park and the M6 junctions 9 and 10.

Local knowledge: what makes Walsall different

Walsall is motorway and industrial work for us. Junctions 9 and 10 of the M6 are big, fast interchanges, and the length of the slip roads means a car that stops on one is in a bad position very quickly — so those calls jump the queue and we will talk you through getting behind the barrier while we are on the way. Closer to town, Pleck and Bescot are the opposite sort of job: wide yards, level ground and room to manoeuvre, which makes commercial recoveries there about the quickest work we do anywhere.

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

Walsall recovery FAQs

Typically 30–45 minutes from your call, depending on traffic and which truck is nearest. We run a 20-mile radius from our Edgbaston depot and Walsall sits 9.5 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 WS1, WS2 and WS3, along with the surrounding streets and the main routes through the area — the A34, M6 junctions 9 and 10, Pleck Road and the Broadway. 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.

Yes, regularly. Both are treated as motorway work — get clear of the carriageway, stay behind the barrier and call us with the junction number and your direction of travel.

Walsall is about 9.5 miles from the depot and sits within our 20-mile radius, so yes. Typical arrival is 30 to 45 minutes, and the M6 can stretch that, so we will give you an honest window.

Yes, including loaded vans and light commercial vehicles. If you manage a fleet, tell us the vehicle type and the yard address and we will deliver it back rather than to a garage.
