Auction Buyers for businesses around the Bristol Road South corridor in Northfield
Operators around Northfield trading estate 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 Northfield. Anything within B31 is dispatched from the same rota as Longbridge, Bartley Green, Rubery. For reference, Northfield covers B31 and falls under Birmingham City Council in West Midlands. Which matters more in Northfield than raw response times ever will. Where the vehicle sits behind a barrier at Northfield trading estate, a gate code beats a phone call.

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 Northfield
Birmingham City Council keeps B31 busy with works and diversions, so the route in gets checked before dispatch. Nearest larger centre is Longbridge; the yard is 9 miles the other way. That is why the dispatcher asks for the street name in Northfield and not just the town. At school-run and shift-change times the A441 corridor backs up, which changes the ETA more than mileage does.
