If you have bought a car at auction and it needs to end up in West Bromwich, the logistics are more paperwork than driving. Release windows, storage fees, non-runners, trade-plate rules and the yard's own opening hours all move the price and the timeline. We handle the whole chain — from confirming release with the auction to putting the car on your driveway in B70/B71 — as a fixed job.

How the callout runs

FAQs — Auction pickup in West Bromwich
Can you collect the same day the auction closes and deliver to West Bromwich?
Often yes — subject to the auction's own release window. Book us before 3pm and we push for a same-day slot. If the yard closes first, we go next morning to avoid storage charges.
Do you provide trade plates for West Bromwich 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 West Bromwich. Ring us and we will pick the right option for the vehicle.
Is the car insured on the way to West Bromwich?
Yes. Our motor trade policy covers the vehicle in transit from the auction yard to your B70/B71 address. Written condition reports on both ends remove any disputes.
Do you invoice dealers or accept trade accounts for regular West Bromwich deliveries?
Yes — regular buyers around West Bromwich run on monthly consolidated invoicing with agreed rates. Set-up is a phone call.
Which auctions do you collect from for delivery to West Bromwich?
All the majors — BCA, Manheim, Copart, Aston Barclay — plus most independent auctions across the Midlands. Delivery into West Bromwich and the wider Sandwell MBC area is a routine run for us.
