Auction car collection to West Bromwich
Auction lot collection with gate pass, payment slip and a photo record before it leaves the yard.
Auction lots into West Bromwich 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 West Bromwich
- 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.

- 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
