Dealerships — Hockley, Birmingham City Council area
Hockley businesses inside B18/B19 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. Hockley sits roughly 2 miles out from the city centre, so we rarely route through town to reach you. Loading on A4540 Middleway needs a safe run-off; near the A4540 Middleway that usually means the side road. Building stock here is mainly canal-side warehouses, with small factory units on the edges. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point.

Dealerships rarely need a single vehicle moved once and forgotten – there's stock coming from auction, part-exchanges going to trade, customer cars being delivered, and the occasional transfer between branches. We help dealers across Birmingham and the Black Country keep vehicles moving without tying up a member of staff for half a day.
Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Hockley industrial units, the parking around the A4540 Middleway, and the residential grid of canal-side warehouses where drivers leave vehicles overnight. The aim is a boring recovery — in, loaded, gone. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike. Handsworth is the nearest larger centre, which is where a lot of Hockley drops end up. We confirm the drop address before leaving Hockley so nothing is decided kerbside.

- Flexible collection times around forecourt hours
