Auction car collection to Darlaston
Auction lot collection with gate pass, payment slip and a photo record before it leaves the yard.
Auction lots into Darlaston come in three flavours: runner, non-runner and salvage. All three need slightly different handling and paperwork. We ask on the call, send the right truck, and photograph everything before leaving the site.
Common auction callouts we see in Darlaston
- 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
- Salvage-grade damage requiring careful loading
- Prestige lot needing low-loader not standard flatbed
Key handling & tow mode
One key per lot usually - we log it before leaving the yard.
Loading a auction properly
Matched to lot type - flatbed or low-loader. Weight band: Depends on lot - car to LCV.
- We arrive with the gate pass and payment slip on file
- Photo record on the auction site before loading - front, rear, flanks, damage
- Winch on for non-runners, drive on for confirmed runners
What moves the price
- Auction site distance and yard closing time
- Vehicle type - car / prestige / LCV each need a different truck
- Whether it's a same-day rush or scheduled next-day collection
- Return-to-auction if the lot rejects on your inspection
Everything is quoted flat over the phone — no hidden call-out fees.
Strapping & tie-down
As per vehicle class; auction cars often non-runners so plan to winch.
Paperwork on collection
- Gate pass, payment slip, buyer's release form
- V5 status confirmed - if missing we collect only against buyer authorisation
- Signed delivery note at drop-off
