Auction Buyers · Kingshurst B37
Recovery support for auction buyers across Kingshurst and Chelmsley Wood
Kingshurst businesses inside B37 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 Solihull MBC rota. West Midlands pricing is simple from here: 13 miles out, one truck, one visit. The two roads that matter locally are A45 and A452, with M6 J5 for anything longer. At school-run and shift-change times the A45 corridor backs up, which changes the ETA more than mileage does. One rota covers Kingshurst, Chelmsley Wood, Solihull, Castle Bromwich and the rest of the Solihull MBC 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.

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.
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.

Questions from operators in Kingshurst
Can you take the vehicle to a garage outside Kingshurst?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Kingshurst itself or in Chelmsley Wood, 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 A45?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near Babbs Mill 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 Kingshurst?
Yes, we regularly transport vehicles without a current MOT, since they're carried rather than driven.
Do you deliver outside the Birmingham area in Kingshurst?
Yes, we cover local delivery within around 30 miles of Oldbury and can arrange UK-wide transport for greater distances.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Kingshurst?
Not always. For collections from post-war estates or a unit near Kingshurst trading 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.
What if the auction house has a tight collection deadline in Kingshurst?
Let us know the deadline when booking and we'll aim to collect within it to avoid storage charges.
