Auction car collection to Digbeth
Auction lot collection with gate pass, payment slip and a photo record before it leaves the yard.
Auction lots into Digbeth 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 Digbeth
- 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
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
Strapping & tie-down
As per vehicle class; auction cars often non-runners so plan to winch.
Key handling & tow mode
One key per lot usually - we log it before leaving the yard.
Paperwork on collection

Digbeth — what we see on the ground
Digbeth's industrial layout means a auction job here could be anywhere from the industrial estate to a residential turning near the Custard Factory. Our drivers know which routes take a long-deck truck and which do not — that is the difference between a 40-minute recovery and a two-hour re-route.
