Recovery support for auction buyers across Winson Green and Edgbaston
The difference between a good and bad recovery for a Winson Green business is rarely the tow itself — it is authorisation, storage and where the vehicle ends up in West Midlands. We agree all three before the first callout. That is how a Winson Green job stays a one-truck job. Loading on A4040 outer ring needs a safe run-off; near City Hospital that usually means the side road. Postcode-level cover: B18, plus the ring of areas within a few miles. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up.
- M5 J1
- A4040 outer ring
- the Dudley Road corridor
We also help traders and dealers who buy regularly, offering a consistent collection service rather than a one-off booking each time, so auction purchases become one less thing to plan around.

Why a Winson Green 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 Winson Green every day, so the routing, the storage point and the authorised-caller list can all be set up once and reused. Every Winson Green job starts with two questions: where exactly, and can the vehicle roll? Insurance work from Winson Green gets a written condition record before the straps go on. Trade sites we visit most: the Dudley Road corridor and Icknield Port Road. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike.
- Standing route plan in via M5 J1 then A4040 outer ring

How the service works for you
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.
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.

From the yard it is 4 miles to Winson Green, mostly dual carriageway. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves. Second road option if A4040 outer ring is blocked: A457 Dudley Road. Deliveries usually go to a garage in Winson Green or across to Edgbaston, whichever you nominate.
Questions from operators in Winson Green
Can you take the vehicle to a garage outside Winson Green?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Winson Green itself or in Edgbaston, but we will run further if that is where your repairer is. Give us the destination on the call so it is inside the quoted price.
Do you deliver outside the Birmingham area in Winson Green?
Yes, we cover local delivery within around 30 miles of Oldbury and can arrange UK-wide transport for greater distances.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Winson Green?
Not always. For collections from converted factories or a unit near the Dudley Road corridor we can work with a key safe or a nominated contact, provided we have written authority and someone to receive the vehicle at the other end.
Is Winson Green closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 4 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 2 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 Winson Green?
Let us know the deadline when booking and we'll aim to collect within it to avoid storage charges.
Can you collect a vehicle with no MOT from the auction in Winson Green?
Yes, we regularly transport vehicles without a current MOT, since they're carried rather than driven.
