Dealerships along the A4040 outer ring corridor in Handsworth
Handsworth businesses inside B20/B21 get a named contact, agreed rates and 24-hour cover. Franchise and independent car dealers needing stock moved between sites, auctions and customers. Everything runs off our own trucks on the Birmingham City Council rota. Birmingham City Council keeps B20/B21 busy with works and diversions, so the route in gets checked before dispatch. Storage, if it is needed, stays inside West Midlands rather than being shipped out of area. Everything inside B20/B21 is priced the same way, day or night. A 3-mile run into the centre is sometimes slower than a longer route round.

Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Hockley, the parking around Handsworth Park, and the residential grid of Victorian terraces where drivers leave vehicles overnight. In B20 the controlled-parking bays matter: a truck cannot sit there indefinitely. One rota covers Handsworth, Smethwick, Birmingham, Perry Barr and the rest of the Birmingham City Council area. Damaged vehicles from Handsworth normally go straight to an approved repairer in West Midlands. Handsworth is a residential area, so day and night jobs look quite different.

How the service works for you
Part-exchange and trade collections
Part-exchange vehicles heading to trade or auction can be collected on a schedule that suits you, rather than sitting on your forecourt taking up space.
Paperwork and keys
We know dealership vehicles come with their own admin – keys, V5s, service history. Let us know what needs to travel with the vehicle and we'll make sure it's handled properly.
Stock transfers between sites
If you run more than one site, or work with a partner dealership, we can move vehicles between locations so stock ends up where it's needed without a salesperson having to drive it themselves.
Access and routing around Handsworth
We work Handsworth alongside Smethwick, Birmingham, Perry Barr, so the same crews see these roads every week. You deal with the same operation from the first call to the drop-off. Locked wheels, missing keys and flat tyres all change the kit list for a B20 job. The Birmingham City Council restrictions along A4040 outer ring affect where a truck can legally stop.
Questions from operators in Handsworth
Can you collect from auction on our behalf in Handsworth?
Yes, we regularly collect vehicles from auction houses and deliver them straight to your forecourt.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Handsworth?
Often, but height is the deciding factor. Tell us the level and the clearance on the way in. Where the deck is too low for a truck we use skates to bring the vehicle out to the entrance.
Do you deliver to customers directly in Handsworth?
Yes, we can deliver sold vehicles to a customer's home or workplace across the UK.
What if a vehicle isn't currently running in Handsworth?
That's fine, we transport non-runners as well as roadworthy vehicles.
How quickly can you reach Handsworth?
We are based in Oldbury, about 4 miles away, and come in via M5 J1 then A4040 outer ring. Outside peak hours that is a short run; at rush hour add time for the A4040 outer ring corridor. The dispatcher gives you a real ETA on the call rather than a standard promise.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B20?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Handsworth on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
