Auction Buyers · Aston B6
Auction Buyers in Aston — trade recovery on account
Aston businesses inside B6 get a named contact, agreed rates and 24-hour cover. Private buyers, traders and dealers who need a vehicle collected from or delivered to an auction house. Everything runs off our own trucks on the Birmingham City Council rota. Locals give directions by Spaghetti Junction (M6 J6); we plan by A38(M) Aston Expressway and the postcode B6. We confirm the drop address before leaving Aston so nothing is decided kerbside. Second road option if A38(M) Aston Expressway is blocked: A34 Lichfield Road. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike.
- A38(M) Aston Expressway
- Rocky Lane Industrial Estate
- Spaghetti Junction (M6 J6)
Buying a car at auction often means the vehicle is sat somewhere you're not, sometimes without a valid MOT or in a condition that means driving it home isn't sensible or legal. We collect vehicles from auction houses across the region and deliver them wherever you need, without you having to arrange your own transport on the day.
The commercial picture in Aston
Aston is a industrial area under Birmingham City Council, with the main commercial concentration at Rocky Lane Industrial Estate and movement funnelled along A38(M) Aston Expressway towards M6 J6. On warehousing the practical limit is turning space, not weight. 6 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Building stock here is mainly canal-side industrial units, with warehousing on the edges. If M6 J6 is queueing, the driver reroutes rather than sitting in it.
- Postcode districts: B6
- Nearest motorway access: M6 J6
- Main routes: A38(M) Aston Expressway, A34 Lichfield Road
- Approx. 6 miles from our yard, 2 from the city centre
How the service works for you
Collecting non-runners and unregistered vehicles
Auction vehicles aren't always roadworthy, and that's fine – we transport non-runners and vehicles without current MOTs just as readily as those that drive perfectly well.
Delivery to you, wherever that is
Once collected, we can deliver locally within Birmingham and the Black Country, or arrange onward transport UK-wide if you're based further away.
- Collection from auction houses across the region
- Non-runner and no-MOT vehicles accepted
- Delivery locally or UK-wide
- Support for regular trade buyers
Timing around auction schedules
Auction houses often want vehicles cleared within a set window. We aim to work around those timescales so you don't run into storage fees or missed collection deadlines.

Access and routing around Aston
Trade callers here tend to be based at Rocky Lane Industrial Estate; private callers are usually on warehousing. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck. Overnight, most work here is on warehousing rather than main roads. Fuel type matters before we tow: EVs and hybrids from B6 go on the deck, not on a rope.

Questions from operators in Aston
Can you collect regularly if I buy at auction often in Aston?
Yes, we're happy to work with regular buyers and traders on an ongoing basis.
Which postcodes around Aston do you cover?
B6 directly, plus the surrounding Erdington, Birmingham, Nechells. It all sits inside the Birmingham City Council operating area we work daily, so there is no out-of-area surcharge.
Can you collect a vehicle with no MOT from the auction in Aston?
Yes, we regularly transport vehicles without a current MOT, since they're carried rather than driven.
Do you deliver outside the Birmingham area in Aston?
Yes, we cover local delivery within around 30 miles of Oldbury and can arrange UK-wide transport for greater distances.
How quickly can you reach Aston?
We are based in Oldbury, about 6 miles away, and come in via M6 J6 then A38(M) Aston Expressway. Outside peak hours that is a short run; at rush hour add time for the A38(M) Aston Expressway corridor. The dispatcher gives you a real ETA on the call rather than a standard promise.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B6?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Aston on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
Before you call from B6
Short version: 24/7 cover for Aston and neighbouring Erdington, Birmingham, Nechells, flat price agreed on the phone, driver briefed on the postcode before dispatch. Auction Buyers handled end to end. Most of Aston is canal-side industrial units, which decides more about a recovery than the fault does. That is why the dispatcher asks for the street name in Aston and not just the town. Damaged vehicles from Aston normally go straight to an approved repairer in West Midlands. Nearest larger centre is Erdington; the yard is 6 miles the other way.
