Dealerships along the A461 corridor in Tipton
Tipton carries a lot of working traffic — deliveries into Great Bridge, trade counters off A461, and vehicles parked overnight on small factory units. Franchise and independent car dealers needing stock moved between sites, auctions and customers. This page sets out how we handle that work here rather than in general. Recovery in Sandwell MBC territory means knowing which restrictions bite and when. We confirm the drop address before leaving Tipton so nothing is decided kerbside. Trade sites we visit most: Great Bridge and Owen Street corridor. It keeps West Midlands work predictable for trade and private customers alike.

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 Tipton 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 Tipton 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 3 miles to Tipton, mostly dual carriageway. Loading on A461 needs a safe run-off; near the Birmingham Canal Old Line that usually means the side road. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point. Building stock here is mainly small factory units, with canal-side workshops on the edges.

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 Tipton
Tipton drivers tend to break down close to home, not on the motorway. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck. Distances we work to here: 3 miles from the Oldbury yard, 7 to the city centre. Fuel type matters before we tow: EVs and hybrids from DY4 go on the deck, not on a rope.
