Dealerships · Longbridge B31
Longbridge operators: dealerships 10 miles from base
Operators around Devonshire Road corridor tend to need the same three things: someone who answers, a truck that fits the yard, and paperwork that matches the job. Franchise and independent car dealers needing stock moved between sites, auctions and customers. That is the arrangement this page describes for Longbridge. Longbridge sits roughly 7 miles out from the city centre, so we rarely route through town to reach you. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up. Overnight, most work here is on modern retail sheds rather than main roads. Access off A441 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch.

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.
The commercial picture in Longbridge
Longbridge is a industrial area under Birmingham City Council, with the main commercial concentration at Longbridge Technology Park and movement funnelled along A38 Bristol Road towards M42 J1. Winter callouts here cluster around 1930s semis; summer ones around Longbridge Technology Park. Insurance work from Longbridge gets a written condition record before the straps go on. Second road option if A38 Bristol Road is blocked: A441. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves.

Questions from operators in Longbridge
Can you take the vehicle to a garage outside Longbridge?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Longbridge itself or in Bartley Green, 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.
What if a vehicle isn't currently running in Longbridge?
That's fine, we transport non-runners as well as roadworthy vehicles.
Can you move several vehicles in one booking in Longbridge?
Yes, let us know the number of vehicles and locations involved and we'll plan the moves accordingly.
Is Longbridge closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 10 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 7 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.
Can you collect from auction on our behalf in Longbridge?
Yes, we regularly collect vehicles from auction houses and deliver them straight to your forecourt.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Longbridge?
Not always. For collections from 1930s semis or a unit near Longbridge Technology Park 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.
