Auction Buyers in Four Oaks — trade recovery on account
Four Oaks businesses inside B74 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. A recovery in Four Oaks is a short job done properly, not a long job done fast. Nearest larger centre is Sutton Coldfield; the yard is 13 miles the other way. Everything inside B74 is priced the same way, day or night. Parked-both-sides streets around leafy avenues are the usual constraint rather than distance.
- M6 Toll T4
- A453
- Mere Green retail parades
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.
Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Mere Green retail parades, the parking around Four Oaks Park, and the residential grid of leafy avenues where drivers leave vehicles overnight. Birmingham City Council covers this patch, and Four Oaks itself is a residential area rather than a single high street. One rota covers Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield, Mere Green and the rest of the Birmingham City Council area. Access notes get saved against your address, so the second Four Oaks callout is faster than the first. Units around Mere Green retail parades are the busiest commercial pickup points on this patch.

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.

Access and routing around Four Oaks
Callers from B74 usually describe one of three places: a street, a car park, or a unit. The Birmingham City Council restrictions along A453 affect where a truck can legally stop. Locked wheels, missing keys and flat tyres all change the kit list for a B74 job. You get an answer about Four Oaks availability on the first call, not after a callback.

Questions from operators in Four Oaks
Do you deliver outside the Birmingham area in Four Oaks?
Yes, we cover local delivery within around 30 miles of Oldbury and can arrange UK-wide transport for greater distances.
Can you collect regularly if I buy at auction often in Four Oaks?
Yes, we're happy to work with regular buyers and traders on an ongoing basis.
What if the vehicle is blocking A453?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near Four Oaks Park is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
Can you collect a vehicle with no MOT from the auction in Four Oaks?
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 Four Oaks?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Four Oaks itself or in Sutton Coldfield, 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.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Four Oaks?
Not always. For collections from leafy avenues or a unit near Mere Green 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.
