Auction Buyers — Smethwick, Sandwell MBC area
Under Sandwell MBC, commercial vehicles in Smethwick run between Rolfe Street, customer sites and the A4030 corridor. Auction Buyers here is planned around those routes rather than a generic city-wide promise. From M5 J1 the running time barely changes between 3pm and 3am. Loading on A4092 needs a safe run-off; near the Galton Bridge that usually means the side road. Trade sites we visit most: Rolfe Street and Rolfe Street. 2 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here.

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 Smethwick
If you can see the Galton Bridge from where you are standing, the driver already knows the approach. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves. Building stock here is mainly converted factories, with converted factories on the edges. On tight converted factories we bring skates rather than argue with a turning circle.
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.
