Kings Heath operators: auction buyers 8 miles from base
Kings Heath businesses inside B13/B14 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. If you can see the A435 corridor from where you are standing, the driver already knows the approach. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike. Trade sites we visit most: Highbury Park periphery and Highbury Park periphery. On tight independent shopfronts we bring skates rather than argue with a turning circle.
- M42 J3
- A435 Alcester Road
- Highbury Park periphery
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.
Access and routing around Kings Heath
Between the A435 corridor and Highbury Park periphery there is more traffic than the map suggests. If the vehicle is in a multi-storey, tell us the level: deck height rules out some trucks entirely. 8 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Postcode-level cover: B13/B14, plus the ring of areas within a few miles.
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.

Yes, we're happy to work with regular buyers and traders on an ongoing basis.
Which postcodes around Kings Heath do you cover?
B13/B14 directly, plus the surrounding Solihull, Edgbaston, Birmingham. It all sits inside the Birmingham City Council operating area we work daily, so there is no out-of-area surcharge.

Yes, we regularly transport vehicles without a current MOT, since they're carried rather than driven.

Let us know the deadline when booking and we'll aim to collect within it to avoid storage charges.
How quickly can you reach Kings Heath?
We are based in Oldbury, about 8 miles away, and come in via M42 J3 then A435 Alcester Road. Outside peak hours that is a short run; at rush hour add time for the A435 Alcester Road corridor. The dispatcher gives you a real ETA on the call rather than a standard promise.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B13?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Kings Heath on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
