Dealerships · Northfield B31
Dealerships — Northfield, Birmingham City Council area
The difference between a good and bad recovery for a Northfield 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. Which is why locals ring us rather than a national line. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point. Building stock here is mainly 1930s semis, with high street parades on the edges. Loading on A38 Bristol Road South needs a safe run-off; near Victoria Common that usually means the side road.

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.

Why a Northfield 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 Northfield every day, so the routing, the storage point and the authorised-caller list can all be set up once and reused. From the yard it is 9 miles to Northfield, mostly dual carriageway. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike. Longbridge is the nearest larger centre, which is where a lot of Northfield drops end up. Deliveries usually go to a garage in Northfield or across to Longbridge, whichever you nominate.

How the service works for you
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.
Customer delivery
For customers who've bought a car but aren't local, or simply prefer it delivered, we can transport the vehicle directly to their door as part of a smoother sales experience.
- Careful handling and loading
- Delivery notes and condition checks on request
- Flexible collection times around forecourt hours
- Local moves and UK-wide transport available
Access and routing around Northfield
Between Victoria Common and Northfield trading estate there is more traffic than the map suggests. That approach is why Northfield repeat callers ask for the same driver. Longbridge is the nearest larger centre, which is where a lot of Northfield drops end up. Because Northfield is only 9 miles from base, jobs here are single-truck with no relay.
Questions from operators in Northfield
Can you collect from auction on our behalf in Northfield?
Yes, we regularly collect vehicles from auction houses and deliver them straight to your forecourt.
Can you take the vehicle to a garage outside Northfield?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Northfield itself or in Longbridge, 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 to customers directly in Northfield?
Yes, we can deliver sold vehicles to a customer's home or workplace across the UK.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Northfield?
Not always. For collections from 1930s semis or a unit near Northfield trading estate 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.
Can you move several vehicles in one booking in Northfield?
Yes, let us know the number of vehicles and locations involved and we'll plan the moves accordingly.
Is Northfield closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 9 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 6 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.

Next step from Northfield
We cover Northfield every day, not occasionally. That is why this page talks about Victoria Common and Northfield trading estate rather than listing every town in West Midlands. Birmingham City Council covers this patch, and Northfield itself is a suburban area rather than a single high street. Which matters more in Northfield than raw response times ever will. Parked-both-sides streets around 1930s semis are the usual constraint rather than distance. Northfield is a suburban area, so day and night jobs look quite different.
