Dealer and trade movement from and to Wednesbury
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.
Dealer and trade movement in Wednesbury is booked work, not a call out. Knowing the post-war estates and the parking around the Metro line in advance is what keeps the collection window honest.
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 Wednesbury the usual runs are local drops within West Midlands, deliveries into Walsall and West Bromwich, and longer routes joining the network at M6 J9. Long runs are quoted per mile with the return leg included, so the figure does not change on delivery day.
Access at the Wednesbury end
Some of Wednesbury loads easily and some does not. Height barriers on post-war estates, permit only bays and narrow terraced streets all need a plan before the day. Tell us the exact door number and any barrier height when you book, and the driver picks the loading point in advance.

Wednesbury transport questions
- Can you collect from auction and deliver to my Wednesbury forecourt?
- Regularly. Send the release details and the stock number and we handle the site paperwork at the auction end. We have loaded plenty of vehicles near Leabrook.
- How quickly can stock be moved?
- Next day is the normal expectation for planned trade work, and same day within the Wednesbury area is often possible when the diary allows.
- Do you provide proof of delivery?
- Yes, photographs and written confirmation to whoever you nominate, usually the same day. That record is what settles a condition dispute later.
- 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 A461 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.
