Auction Buyers · Boldmere B73
Recovery support for auction buyers across Boldmere and Wylde Green
We run auction buyers for operators across the Birmingham City Council area, and Boldmere is one of the patches we cover most often. Between the A5127 Chester Road and Chester Road retail parades there is enough commercial movement that we keep a truck within reach of B73 on every shift. Most of Boldmere is independent shopfronts, which decides more about a recovery than the fault does. The two roads that matter locally are A38 and A5127 Chester Road, with M6 Toll T3 for anything longer. Night work near the A5127 Chester Road is kept quiet and quick — lights down, loaded, gone. One rota covers Boldmere, Wylde Green, Sutton Coldfield, Perry Barr and the rest of the Birmingham City Council area.

We also help traders and dealers who buy regularly, offering a consistent collection service rather than a one-off booking each time, so auction purchases become one less thing to plan around.

Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Chester Road retail parades, the parking around the A5127 Chester Road, and the residential grid of independent shopfronts where drivers leave vehicles overnight. Suburban streets and working units sit side by side in Boldmere. Units around Chester Road retail parades are the busiest commercial pickup points on this patch. Parked-both-sides streets around independent shopfronts are the usual constraint rather than distance. Which matters more in Boldmere than raw response times ever will.

How the service works for you
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.
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.
Peace of mind on paperwork
Let us know what documentation needs collecting alongside the vehicle, such as keys, service books or purchase paperwork, and we'll make sure it travels with the car.
Access and routing around Boldmere
The busiest hour on A5127 Chester Road decides more ETAs here than anything mechanical. Nothing about a B73 job is guesswork by the time we arrive. Two-vehicle jobs out of Chester Road retail parades are loaded in one visit where weight allows. Boldmere is a suburban area, so day and night jobs look quite different.
Questions from operators in Boldmere
Can you collect a vehicle with no MOT from the auction in Boldmere?
Yes, we regularly transport vehicles without a current MOT, since they're carried rather than driven.
Can you take the vehicle to a garage outside Boldmere?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Boldmere itself or in Wylde Green, but we will run further if that is where your repairer is. Give us the destination on the call so it is inside the quoted price.
What if the vehicle is blocking A38?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near the A5127 Chester Road is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Boldmere?
Not always. For collections from independent shopfronts or a unit near Chester Road retail parades we can work with a key safe or a nominated contact, provided we have written authority and someone to receive the vehicle at the other end.
Do you deliver outside the Birmingham area in Boldmere?
Yes, we cover local delivery within around 30 miles of Oldbury and can arrange UK-wide transport for greater distances.
What if the auction house has a tight collection deadline in Boldmere?
Let us know the deadline when booking and we'll aim to collect within it to avoid storage charges.

If you only read one paragraph about auction buyers here
Boldmere sits in B73 under Birmingham City Council, roughly 11 miles from our Oldbury yard and 6 from the city centre. Auction Buyers here usually means working around independent shopfronts and access off A38, so we plan the truck before it leaves. Locals give directions by the A5127 Chester Road; we plan by A38 and the postcode B73. On tight conversion flats we bring skates rather than argue with a turning circle. Second road option if A38 is blocked: A5127 Chester Road. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves.
