Major UK auction sites
We collect from BCA, Manheim, Aston Barclay, G3, SMA and other UK auction sites for dealerships, traders and private buyers. Drivers know the sites, the gate processes, the timing windows and what to bring — we don't waste your day at a closed gate.
Non-runners and damaged auction stock
Auction stock isn't always running, isn't always rolling and isn't always clean. Our equipment and method handle it all — winching, neutral skates, low-angle ramps and soft straps as required. Condition photos can be sent on collection so you see exactly what's been loaded.
Reliable trade transport
We schedule auction collections around your dealership, bodyshop or storage site, with pricing that's clear and predictable. Trade accounts are available for regular work so invoicing and pricing stay simple.
