Auction Buyers in Frankley (B45) — accounts and out-of-hours
Frankley carries a lot of working traffic — deliveries into Frankley Beeches trade units, trade counters off A4040, and vehicles parked overnight on local parades. Private buyers, traders and dealers who need a vehicle collected from or delivered to an auction house. This page sets out how we handle that work here rather than in general. The busiest hour on A38 Bristol Road South decides more ETAs here than anything mechanical. The two roads that matter locally are A4040 and A38 Bristol Road South, with M5 J4 for anything longer. Night work near M5 Junction 4 is kept quiet and quick — lights down, loaded, gone. That is why the dispatcher asks for the street name in Frankley and not just the town.

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.
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.
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.
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
