Dudley operators: auction buyers 4 miles from base
Operators around Waddams Pool tend to need the same three things: someone who answers, a truck that fits the yard, and paperwork that matches the job. Private buyers, traders and dealers who need a vehicle collected from or delivered to an auction house. That is the arrangement this page describes for Dudley. Dudley drivers tend to break down close to home, not on the motorway. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point. Overnight, most work here is on Victorian terraces rather than main roads. Access off A461 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch.

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.
How the service works for you
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
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.
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.
