New Oscott high value: cover for operators in B73
We run high value for operators across the Birmingham City Council area, and New Oscott is one of the patches we cover most often. Between Sutton Coldfield College and Jockey Road parades there is enough commercial movement that we keep a truck within reach of B73 on every shift. Callers from B73 usually describe one of three places: a street, a car park, or a unit. New Oscott is a suburban area, so day and night jobs look quite different. The result is an honest ETA rather than a comfortable one. A spec-lift handles most of it; the tilt-and-slide comes out for lowered, damaged or non-rolling vehicles.
- M6 J6
- A38
- Jockey Road parades
We're used to loading vehicles that need particular care, whether that's due to their ride height, their value, or simply their age, and we'll always talk through the best method with you before we start.
Why a New Oscott 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 New Oscott every day, so the routing, the storage point and the authorised-caller list can all be set up once and reused. In B73 the controlled-parking bays matter: a truck cannot sit there indefinitely. Motorway access for New Oscott is via M6 J6, which sets the realistic ETA. You deal with the same operation from the first call to the drop-off. At school-run and shift-change times the A38 corridor backs up, which changes the ETA more than mileage does.
- Standing route plan in via M6 J6 then A38
- Named default garage or depot in the B73 area
- Agreed authorisation rules so drivers are not left waiting
- Consolidated monthly invoicing across West Midlands jobs
How the service works for you
Classics and older vehicles
Older vehicles sometimes have quirks – tired brakes, non-standard parts, or simply age-related fragility. We treat every classic with a level of care that reflects what it means to the owner, not just its market value.
Prestige and high-value cars
For higher-value vehicles, we understand the concern isn't just cosmetic damage but also security and discretion during transport.
- Careful assessment before loading
- Suitable equipment for low or modified vehicles
- Transport for non-runners and show cars
- Discretion for higher-value vehicles
Local moves and longer journeys
Whether the car's going to a specialist a few miles away or needs transporting further afield to a show, sale or new owner, we can arrange the journey with the same level of care throughout.

Which postcodes around New Oscott do you cover?
B73 directly, plus the surrounding Erdington, Perry Barr, Mere Green. It all sits inside the Birmingham City Council operating area we work daily, so there is no out-of-area surcharge.

Why this page exists for New Oscott
New Oscott sits in B73 under Birmingham City Council, roughly 10 miles from our Oldbury yard and 6 from the city centre. High Value here usually means working around post-war estates and access off A38, so we plan the truck before it leaves. Where Jockey Road parades units share one access road, we book a slot rather than block it. Loading on A38 needs a safe run-off; near Sutton Coldfield College that usually means the side road. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point. Overnight, most work here is on 1930s semis rather than main roads.
