Auction car collection to Selly Oak
Auction lot collection with gate pass, payment slip and a photo record before it leaves the yard.
From Oldbury (6 miles from Selly Oak) our auction collection service runs seven days. We know the yard cut-off times, we know which lots need a low-loader vs a flatbed, and we do the paperwork on the gate so you do not have to.
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.
Common auction callouts we see in Selly Oak
- 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.

Everything is quoted flat over the phone — no hidden call-out fees.
Selly Oak — what we see on the ground
Postcodes across B29 sit inside the Birmingham City Council area, and auction vehicles tend to break down where they are being used — school runs near the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, deliveries into Battery Park retail area, or on Victorian terraces where a jump-start is often faster than a tow.
