AdBlue in diesel in Perry Barr Birmingham — what is different locally
Because Perry Barr Birmingham is dense residential, the vehicle is normally stationary on a driveway or a bay, and an on-site drain and flush is straightforward with no lane closure and no recovery truck.
A franchised dealer able to perform a manufacturer forced reset is normally within a short drive of Perry Barr Birmingham, but a booking slot is not, and that wait is usually the real cost of a latched inducement. Most vehicles here are family cars and small vans, so the AdBlue tank is measured in litres rather than tens of litres and the dilution maths is unforgiving.
The honest comparison is the total: call-out, work, any parts, and the time the vehicle is standing. All four are discussed before travel. Winter around Perry Barr Birmingham brings the freezing question up constantly: the fluid freezes near −11 °C, the system is designed for it, and the dashboard message is the only thing that needs interpreting.
The geography affects arrival time and disposal, not the outcome; that is decided by the contamination direction and whether the engine was run. Normally put right by a drain and flush, provided the engine has not been run. Coverage runs across Birmingham on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.

Can this be finished at the roadside in Perry Barr Birmingham?

That is fine. The work is mobile, so it happens wherever the vehicle is standing — a forecourt, a yard, a driveway or somebody else's workshop.
Does this damage the SCR system?
No. This is the opposite failure. Nothing has entered the exhaust or the SCR circuit — the AdBlue is in the fuel side, where it does not belong. Your SCR system is untouched.
