Dealerships · Shard End B34
Recovery support for dealerships across Shard End and Sheldon
Fleet downtime in Shard End is measured in shifts, not miles. With the yard 10 miles away and access in via M6 J5, we build cover around the way your vehicles actually move through B34. There is no such thing as a standard Shard End recovery, only a standard way of planning one. Landmarks we use for Shard End directions: the A47 corridor and the A47 corridor. Locked wheels, missing keys and flat tyres all change the kit list for a B34 job. One rota covers Shard End, Sheldon, Stechford, Castle Bromwich and the rest of the Birmingham City Council area.

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 Shard End 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 Shard End every day, so the routing, the storage point and the authorised-caller list can all be set up once and reused. Shard End has more off-street parking problems than through-traffic problems. Nothing about a B34 job is guesswork by the time we arrive. We photograph condition on collection so there is no argument later about a kerbed wheel. Neighbouring cover runs to Sheldon, Stechford, Castle Bromwich, all on the same rota.

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.
