    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do you collect from Birmingham auction sites?
    Yes. We collect daily from BCA Measham, Manheim and other West Midlands auction and dealer compounds, with trade account rates available.
    How far is Birmingham from the nearest export port?
    Southampton is roughly 128 miles, Tilbury around 135 miles and Bristol (Portbury) about 88 miles, so most Birmingham export runs are same-day round trips for our drivers.
    Can you collect from Spaghetti Junction area addresses?
    Yes, the M6/A38(M) interchange area is within our standard Birmingham coverage, along with Sutton Coldfield, Solihull and Dudley.
    Do you handle classic and modified cars from Birmingham?
    Yes. For classics and lowered or modified vehicles we use enclosed transporters or soft-strap flatbeds to avoid ground clearance issues.
    What if my collection address is a dealership compound?
    No problem — we regularly work with Birmingham main dealers and provide photographic handover paperwork for both parties.
