Auction Buyers · Oldbury B68
Auction Buyers in Oldbury — trade recovery on account
We run auction buyers for operators across the Sandwell MBC area, and Oldbury is one of the patches we cover most often. Between the Titford Canal and Portway there is enough commercial movement that we keep a truck within reach of B68/B69 on every shift. Sandwell MBC bus lanes along A4123 Wolverhampton Road rule out stopping in some spots, so the load point is agreed first. For reference, Oldbury covers B68/B69 and falls under Sandwell MBC in West Midlands. Two-vehicle jobs out of Portway are loaded in one visit where weight allows. Nothing about a B68 job is guesswork by the time we arrive.

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.
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.

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.
The commercial picture in Oldbury
Oldbury is a industrial area under Sandwell MBC, with the main commercial concentration at Portway and movement funnelled along A4123 Wolverhampton Road towards M5 J2. Recovery from light industrial units at night is planned for the quietest access, not the shortest. Storage, if it is needed, stays inside West Midlands rather than being shipped out of area. You deal with the same operation from the first call to the drop-off. At school-run and shift-change times the A4123 Wolverhampton Road corridor backs up, which changes the ETA more than mileage does.

Why this page exists for Oldbury
Distance is the easy part — 0 miles. The variable is where the vehicle is standing: light industrial units, a yard at Portway, or the kerb on A457. Tell us that and auction buyers becomes a fixed-price job. From M5 J2 the running time barely changes between 3pm and 3am. Access off A457 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up. If you are unsure of the postcode, B68 plus a landmark such as M5 Junction 2 is enough.
