Auction Buyers · Walmley B76
Walmley operators: auction buyers 12 miles from base
For a business in Walmley, downtime has a postcode. A vehicle off the road in B76 costs a different amount of time to one stranded on the far side of West Midlands, and we price and plan accordingly — Oldbury base, 12 miles, in via M6 Toll T3. B76 is home turf, and it gets treated that way. Nothing about a B76 job is guesswork by the time we arrive. Where the vehicle sits behind a barrier at Wylde Green Road parades, a gate code beats a phone call. Units around Wylde Green Road parades are the busiest commercial pickup points on this patch.

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 Walmley
Same rota, same drivers, same 12-mile run every time. Motorway access for Walmley is via M6 Toll T3, which sets the realistic ETA. Night work near the River Tame is kept quiet and quick — lights down, loaded, gone. One rota covers Walmley, Wylde Green, Erdington, Sutton Coldfield and the rest of the Birmingham City Council area.
How the service works for you
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
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.
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.

Anything within B76 is dispatched from the same rota as Wylde Green, Erdington, Sutton Coldfield. Landmarks we use for Walmley directions: the River Tame and Walmley Golf Club. Winching across a verge or a kerb near Walmley Golf Club needs space we would rather plan for than discover. You get an answer about Walmley availability on the first call, not after a callback.

Recap for B76
suburban areas like Walmley mix 1930s semis with working yards, so the same auction buyers job can need a spec-lift or a tilt-and-slide. We decide that before dispatch, not on arrival. If the job is close to Wylde Green, dropping there can be quicker than returning to Walmley. Where the vehicle sits on private land rather than a live road, the legal position and the price both change. Postcode-level cover: B76, plus the ring of areas within a few miles. 12 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here.

Questions from operators in Walmley
Can you collect a vehicle with no MOT from the auction in Walmley?
Yes, we regularly transport vehicles without a current MOT, since they're carried rather than driven.
How quickly can you reach Walmley?
We are based in Oldbury, about 12 miles away, and come in via M6 Toll T3 then A5127. Outside peak hours that is a short run; at rush hour add time for the A5127 corridor. The dispatcher gives you a real ETA on the call rather than a standard promise.
What if the auction house has a tight collection deadline in Walmley?
Let us know the deadline when booking and we'll aim to collect within it to avoid storage charges.
Do you work at night in Walmley?
Yes — 24 hours, including weekends and bank holidays. Night jobs here are often on 1930s semis where nobody wants a truck idling; we keep lighting and noise sensible and load as quickly as we safely can.
Can you collect regularly if I buy at auction often in Walmley?
Yes, we're happy to work with regular buyers and traders on an ongoing basis.
Which postcodes around Walmley do you cover?
B76 directly, plus the surrounding Wylde Green, Erdington, Sutton Coldfield. It all sits inside the Birmingham City Council operating area we work daily, so there is no out-of-area surcharge.
