Chelmsley Wood — what we see on the ground
Postcodes across B36 and B37 sit inside the Solihull MBC area, and auction vehicles tend to break down where they are being used — school runs near M6 Junction 5, deliveries into Chelmsley Wood industrial estate, or on 1960s tower blocks where a jump-start is often faster than a tow.
Common auction callouts we see in Chelmsley Wood
- Non-runner lot - dead battery / no fuel / mechanical failure
- Missing V5 - collection paperwork covers movement to your address
- Lot listed as driveable but actually isn't - we plan for winch either way
