Trade Partners · New Oscott B73
Trade Partners — New Oscott, Birmingham City Council area
We run trade partners for operators across the Birmingham City Council area, and New Oscott is one of the patches we cover most often. Between Jockey Road and Jockey Road parades there is enough commercial movement that we keep a truck within reach of B73 on every shift. On post-war estates the practical limit is turning space, not weight. Access off A38 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch. The truck that quotes is the truck that turns up. Postcode-level cover: B73, plus the ring of areas within a few miles.

Garages and bodyshops often need a vehicle moved that isn't going anywhere under its own power – whether that's a customer's car that's failed on the road, a non-runner waiting for parts, or a vehicle heading between your workshop and a paint specialist. We work alongside trade customers across Birmingham and the Black Country as a reliable extra pair of hands for these jobs.
How the service works for you
Customer breakdown collections
If a customer's vehicle breaks down and needs bringing to your workshop, we can collect it and deliver it straight to you, saving your own team a wasted trip.
Moving non-runners
Vehicles waiting on parts, insurance decisions or specialist work don't need to sit around – we can transport non-runners to and from your premises whenever it suits.
Working with bodyshops
Accident-damaged vehicles sometimes need to move between an initial inspection point, a bodyshop, and back to the customer. We can handle any or all of these legs so vehicles reach the right place without unnecessary delay.
- Non-runner and accident-damaged vehicle transport
- Customer collections on your behalf
- Movement between workshop, bodyshop and storage
- Flexible scheduling around your workload
The commercial picture in New Oscott
New Oscott is a suburban area under Birmingham City Council, with the main commercial concentration at Jockey Road parades and movement funnelled along A453 Jockey Road towards M6 J6. Vehicles collected near Sutton Coldfield College are usually loaded from the offside because of the camber. Insurance work from New Oscott gets a written condition record before the straps go on. Sutton Coldfield is the nearest larger centre, which is where a lot of New Oscott drops end up. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves.
