Stirchley operators: auction buyers 8 miles from base
Fleet downtime in Stirchley is measured in shifts, not miles. With the yard 8 miles away and access in via M5 J4, we build cover around the way your vehicles actually move through B30. The quickest way in is M5 J4, then down towards Stirchley High Street. That approach is why Stirchley repeat callers ask for the same driver. Bournville is the nearest larger centre, which is where a lot of Stirchley drops end up. On tight independent shopfronts we bring skates rather than argue with a turning circle.

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.
Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Hazelwell trading estate, the parking around Stirchley High Street, and the residential grid of Victorian terraces where drivers leave vehicles overnight. If you can see the A38 Pershore Road from where you are standing, the driver already knows the approach. Access off A4040 outer ring narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch. Distances we work to here: 8 miles from the Oldbury yard, 5 to the city centre. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck.

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.
Peace of mind on paperwork
Let us know what documentation needs collecting alongside the vehicle, such as keys, service books or purchase paperwork, and we'll make sure it travels with the car.
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

Access and routing around Stirchley
Hazelwell trading estate generates a steady stream of commercial callouts; the residential side is a different job entirely. Where the vehicle sits on private land rather than a live road, the legal position and the price both change. Building stock here is mainly Victorian terraces, with independent shopfronts on the edges. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point.

Questions from operators in Stirchley
Can you collect regularly if I buy at auction often in Stirchley?
Yes, we're happy to work with regular buyers and traders on an ongoing basis.
Can you get a transporter into Hazelwell trading estate?
Usually yes, but tell us the unit and gate before we set off. Some yards around Hazelwell trading estate have height barriers or a tight turning circle, in which case we bring the spec-lift and winch out to the access road instead.
Can you collect a vehicle with no MOT from the auction in Stirchley?
Yes, we regularly transport vehicles without a current MOT, since they're carried rather than driven.
What does auction buyers cost in Stirchley?
We quote a flat figure on the phone based on the actual distance, the vehicle and the access. At roughly 8 miles from base, Stirchley is a local job — no per-mile meter, no call-out fee bolted on afterwards.
Is Stirchley closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 8 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 5 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.
What if the auction house has a tight collection deadline in Stirchley?
Let us know the deadline when booking and we'll aim to collect within it to avoid storage charges.
Next step from Stirchley
This page is for people who need auction buyers specifically in Stirchley — not a generic Birmingham page. Access, parking and the right route in from M5 J4 all change the job, and that is what we price on. We treat B30 as a single working patch rather than a scatter of jobs. Motorway access for Stirchley is via M5 J4, which sets the realistic ETA. Locked wheels, missing keys and flat tyres all change the kit list for a B30 job. You get an answer about Stirchley availability on the first call, not after a callback.
