Getting a car from auction to Birmingham is a job with three failure points: the release paperwork, the transport, and the delivery slot at your end. We run all three under one call. Send the lot number and address, we quote flat and manage the yard side ourselves.

How the callout runs

- We confirm the storage yard and release window with the auction

FAQs — Auction pickup in Birmingham
Do you provide trade plates for Birmingham deliveries?
We use transporters for the vast majority of jobs (safer and cheaper), but for the right kind of lot we can move a car under trade plates directly to Birmingham. Ring us and we will pick the right option for the vehicle.
Is the car insured on the way to Birmingham?
Yes. Our motor trade policy covers the vehicle in transit from the auction yard to your B1/B2/B3/B4/B5 address. Written condition reports on both ends remove any disputes.
Do you invoice dealers or accept trade accounts for regular Birmingham deliveries?
Yes — regular buyers around Birmingham run on monthly consolidated invoicing with agreed rates. Set-up is a phone call.
Which auctions do you collect from for delivery to Birmingham?
All the majors — BCA, Manheim, Copart, Aston Barclay — plus most independent auctions across the Midlands. Delivery into Birmingham and the wider Birmingham City Council area is a routine run for us.
Do you handle non-runners bought at auction into Birmingham?
Yes. A large share of auction lots are non-runners, and we bring winches and ramps as standard. You just need to send the lot number and any known information about the mechanical state.
