Non-runner · Kingswinford DY6
Non-runner help in Kingswinford (DY6) — 24 hours
Most non-runner calls we take from Kingswinford come from the same handful of places: 1930s semis off A4101, the parking around Summerhill Park, and the yards at Moor Lane industrial estate. Where the vehicle is standing changes what we can do on scene, so that is the first thing the dispatcher asks. Anything heading out of West Midlands gets strapped for a longer run rather than a two-street shuffle. Neighbouring cover runs to Brierley Hill, Pensnett, Stourbridge, all on the same rota. Everything inside DY6 is priced the same way, day or night. Where the vehicle sits behind a barrier at Pensnett trading estate, a gate code beats a phone call.
- A4101
- Moor Lane industrial estate
- Summerhill Park
We move non-runners and project cars across Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell and the Black Country, loading vehicles that don't start, don't roll freely, or are missing wheels, keys or an interior, using appropriate equipment for whatever condition the car's actually in.

Why it happens
Cars with no key or missing parts
Project cars often come without keys, a working ignition, or sometimes even seats and an interior. None of this stops us loading and transporting the vehicle, since it doesn't need to be driven onto the truck — we can winch it aboard regardless.
- Seized or non-rolling vehicles need dollies or winching, not driving
- Missing keys, seats or interior don't prevent safe transport
- Let us know the vehicle's actual condition in advance, not just 'non-runner'
- We can collect from fields, garages, storage units or private sales
Buying or selling at a distance
If you're buying a project car from a private seller and can't drive it home, or selling one to a buyer who needs it delivered, we can handle the collection and delivery leg so neither party needs to arrange their own trailer or worry about towing something unroadworthy.
Access for older or unusual vehicles
Older project cars, kit cars or partially restored vehicles sometimes have unusual dimensions, low ground clearance, or fragile bodywork. Telling us about anything unusual in advance means we can plan loading carefully rather than risk damage on the day.

Getting a truck to you in Kingswinford
DY6 is home turf, and it gets treated that way. That is why the dispatcher asks for the street name in Kingswinford and not just the town. Locked wheels, missing keys and flat tyres all change the kit list for a DY6 job. The two roads that matter locally are A4101 and A491, with M5 J2 for anything longer.
Kingswinford at a glance
Kingswinford sits in DY6 under Dudley MBC, roughly 7 miles from our Oldbury yard and 12 from the city centre. Non-runner here usually means working around 1930s semis and access off A4101, so we plan the truck before it leaves. Vehicles collected near Kingswinford High Street are usually loaded from the offside because of the camber. 7 miles, one truck, one price — that is the whole model here. If you are unsure of the postcode, DY6 plus a landmark such as Kingswinford High Street is enough. Access off A491 narrows quickly, so a full-length transporter sometimes has to set down and winch.

Can you collect from a private seller's driveway or a field in Kingswinford?
Yes, we regularly collect project cars and non-runners from all sorts of locations, including fields, garages and private sales.

About 7 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 12 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.

That's not a problem for transport — we secure the vehicle for the journey regardless of its cosmetic or interior condition.
Should I mention if the car has low ground clearance or fragile bodywork in Kingswinford?
Yes, please let us know anything unusual about the vehicle in advance so we can plan the loading approach carefully.
