Auction Buyers · Quarry Bank DY5
Auction Buyers — Quarry Bank, Dudley MBC area
We run auction buyers for operators across the Dudley MBC area, and Quarry Bank is one of the patches we cover most often. Between Quarry Bank High Street and Merry Hill fringe estates there is enough commercial movement that we keep a truck within reach of DY5 on every shift. The aim is a boring recovery — in, loaded, gone. Because Quarry Bank is only 6 miles from base, jobs here are single-truck with no relay. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike. Second road option if A458 is blocked: A461.
- M5 J3
- A458
- Merry Hill fringe estates
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.
Why a Quarry Bank account differs from a citywide one
A generic Birmingham arrangement treats every postcode the same. Yours does not work that way: your drivers use the same few roads out of Quarry Bank every day, so the routing, the storage point and the authorised-caller list can all be set up once and reused. It is the difference between covering West Midlands and actually working it. Loading on A458 needs a safe run-off; near Quarry Bank High Street that usually means the side road. Overnight, most work here is on light industrial units rather than main roads. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up.
- Standing route plan in via M5 J3 then A458
- Named default garage or depot in the DY5 area
- Agreed authorisation rules so drivers are not left waiting
- Consolidated monthly invoicing across West Midlands jobs
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.
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.
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

What does auction buyers cost in Quarry Bank?
We quote a flat figure on the phone based on the actual distance, the vehicle and the access. At roughly 6 miles from base, Quarry Bank is a local job — no per-mile meter, no call-out fee bolted on afterwards.
Can you collect a vehicle with no MOT from the auction in Quarry Bank?
Yes, we regularly transport vehicles without a current MOT, since they're carried rather than driven.
Do you deliver outside the Birmingham area in Quarry Bank?
Yes, we cover local delivery within around 30 miles of Oldbury and can arrange UK-wide transport for greater distances.
Is Quarry Bank closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 6 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 10 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.
Can you get a transporter into Merry Hill fringe estates?
Usually yes, but tell us the unit and gate before we set off. Some yards around Merry Hill fringe estates have height barriers or a tight turning circle, in which case we bring the spec-lift and winch out to the access road instead.
Quarry Bank and auction buyers — where that leaves you
Coverage here runs from Quarry Bank through Stourbridge, Lye, Pensnett, all inside West Midlands. Auction Buyers is available 24 hours with the same dispatcher and the same rate card. Dudley MBC covers this patch, and Quarry Bank itself is a industrial area rather than a single high street. That is why the dispatcher asks for the street name in Quarry Bank and not just the town. At school-run and shift-change times the A458 corridor backs up, which changes the ETA more than mileage does. Nearest larger centre is Stourbridge; the yard is 6 miles the other way.
