Dealerships · Jewellery Quarter B1
Recovery support for dealerships across Jewellery Quarter and Handsworth
We run dealerships for operators across the Birmingham City Council area, and Jewellery Quarter is one of the patches we cover most often. Between the Chamberlain Clock and Vyse Street workshops there is enough commercial movement that we keep a truck within reach of B1/B18 on every shift. If the job is close to Handsworth, dropping there can be quicker than returning to Jewellery Quarter. Deliveries usually go to a garage in Jewellery Quarter or across to Handsworth, whichever you nominate. Trade sites we visit most: Vyse Street workshops and Warstone Lane units. That approach is why Jewellery Quarter repeat callers ask for the same driver.
- B1 postcode area
- M5 J1
- A4400 St Vincent Street
Because these are vehicles you plan to sell, condition matters. We treat every dealership vehicle with the same care whether it's a five-year-old hatchback or something further up the range, and we're happy to work around your opening hours and preferred collection windows.
Why a Jewellery Quarter 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 Jewellery Quarter every day, so the routing, the storage point and the authorised-caller list can all be set up once and reused. Locals give directions by the Chamberlain Clock; we plan by A4400 St Vincent Street and the postcode B1. Access off A41 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch. Building stock here is mainly Victorian workshops, with converted loft apartments on the edges. 4 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here.
- Standing route plan in via M5 J1 then A4400 St Vincent Street
- Named default garage or depot in the B1 area
- Agreed authorisation rules so drivers are not left waiting
- Consolidated monthly invoicing across West Midlands jobs
How the service works for you
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.
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.

Access and routing around Jewellery Quarter
Half the vehicles we lift in Jewellery Quarter are within sight of A41. If M5 J1 is queueing, the driver reroutes rather than sitting in it. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up. Overnight, most work here is on converted loft apartments rather than main roads.
Neighbouring areas on the same account
Vehicles rarely stay in one postcode. These areas run off the same Birmingham City Council-area rota, with distances from Jewellery Quarter.
Questions from operators in Jewellery Quarter
Do you deliver to customers directly in Jewellery Quarter?
Yes, we can deliver sold vehicles to a customer's home or workplace across the UK.
Are you insured to move my vehicle across West Midlands?
Yes. Goods-in-transit and recovery operator liability are in force for every movement, whether it is two streets in B1 or a longer run out of West Midlands.
What if a vehicle isn't currently running in Jewellery Quarter?
That's fine, we transport non-runners as well as roadworthy vehicles.
Can you collect from auction on our behalf in Jewellery Quarter?
Yes, we regularly collect vehicles from auction houses and deliver them straight to your forecourt.
What if the vehicle is blocking A4400 St Vincent Street?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near the Chamberlain Clock is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Jewellery Quarter?
Not always. For collections from Victorian workshops or a unit near Vyse Street workshops 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.
Jewellery Quarter and dealerships — where that leaves you
Most Jewellery Quarter jobs end at a garage in B1/B18 or over in Handsworth. Dealerships is quoted door to door, including the return leg to West Midlands storage if that is what you need. In B1 the controlled-parking bays matter: a truck cannot sit there indefinitely. Nearest larger centre is Handsworth; the yard is 4 miles the other way. You deal with the same operation from the first call to the drop-off. Damaged vehicles from Jewellery Quarter normally go straight to an approved repairer in West Midlands.
