Auction Buyers — Old Hill, Sandwell MBC area
Under Sandwell MBC, commercial vehicles in Old Hill run between Highfields industrial estate, customer sites and the A4100 corridor. Auction Buyers here is planned around those routes rather than a generic city-wide promise. Highfields industrial estate generates a steady stream of commercial callouts; the residential side is a different job entirely. Because Old Hill is only 5 miles from base, jobs here are single-truck with no relay. Building stock here is mainly post-war semis, with Victorian terraces on the edges. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike.

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 Old Hill
Because Blackheath is next door, a job in Old Hill often pairs with one there on the same shift. 5 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. Typical drop points from here: garages in B64, storage in West Midlands, or Blackheath. Access off A4100 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch.
How the service works for you
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.
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
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.
