Trade and dealer logistics · Sutton Coldfield B72
Sutton Coldfield dealer and trade movement, quoted before you book
Repeat movements on account. Stock in from auction, part exchanges out, customer deliveries, and workshop shuttles between sites.
Dealers, traders, garages and bodyshops moving stock between sites, auctions and customers.
A car sitting at an auction site is money not working. The gap between the hammer and the forecourt is pure cost, and the only lever a dealer has on it is how quickly transport is arranged.
We plan Sutton Coldfield collections around the A452, which is how the truck reaches most of B72, B73, B74, B75, B76 without fighting the ring road. Sutton Coldfield is roughly 11 miles from our Oldbury yard.
Multiple movements in a day are normal. Give us the list in the morning and we will sequence them into the fewest possible runs.

What moves the price
- Volume
- Regular weekly work prices differently from a single movement, because the diary can be planned around it.
- Route pairing
- A car going out and a car coming back on the same route is close to half the cost of two one way runs.
- Turnaround expectation
- Next day is standard. Same day within the patch is available and priced accordingly.
- Presentation requirement
- Customer facing deliveries take longer at the door than a yard to yard drop.
From Sutton Coldfield the usual runs are local drops within West Midlands, deliveries into Erdington and Perry Barr, and longer routes joining the network at M6 Toll T3. Long runs are quoted per mile with the return leg included, so the figure does not change on delivery day.
Access at the Sutton Coldfield end
Before the day we check whether a long deck truck can reach the address. If it cannot, we agree a nearby loading point on A452 or a side street with room, and move the vehicle the last few yards. Multi storey car parks almost always need this, because the clearance is below truck height.

Sutton Coldfield transport questions
- Can you move several cars in one day?
- Yes. Multiple movements are sequenced by direction rather than by the order you sent them, which keeps the total cost down. The A452 keeps the truck route simple from our side.
- Are your invoices itemised by stock number?
- They are. Account invoices list each movement against your own reference so the cost lands against the right car in your system.
- Do you offer trade accounts for Sutton Coldfield dealers?
- Yes. Accounts are set up on a short call covering your sites, contacts and invoicing, and after that a movement is booked by message. Around the M6 Toll that is a routine job for us.
- Can you collect from auction and deliver to my Sutton Coldfield forecourt?
- Regularly. Send the release details and the stock number and we handle the site paperwork at the auction end. Collections across B72, B73, B74, B75, B76 run most weeks.
- How quickly can stock be moved?
- Next day is the normal expectation for planned trade work, and same day within the Sutton Coldfield area is often possible when the diary allows.
