Registration and both postcodes is usually enough to price it. Jump to the form ## Release first, then a driver Buying the car is not the same as being allowed to take it. The auction issues a release code or buyer reference. The compound has a gate procedure. Until those are in place, a driver at the barrier is a wasted day and the storage clock keeps running. Send us the registration, the compound and the release details you have. The office checks with the site before anyone is dispatched. If the code has not come through yet, we hold the booking. ### Release code Code and buyer reference confirmed with the site, not guessed at the gate. ### Storage charges They run until the vehicle leaves. That is why we collect once release is actually confirmed. [Auction collection hub](https://ovmtransport.com/auction-collection)[What paperwork is required](https://ovmtransport.com/what-paperwork-is-required-for-trade-plate-delivery) ## Each site runs its own gate BCA, Manheim and the independents do not share one procedure. We do not invent one here. The office asks the compound what they need that day, then briefs the driver. We collect from the compounds we publish pages for, including BCA Bellshill, BCA Glasgow and Manheim Manchester. If your site is not listed, ask. Nationwide compounds are in scope if the vehicle is legal to drive. [BCA Bellshill](https://ovmtransport.com/auction-collection-bca-bellshill)[BCA Glasgow](https://ovmtransport.com/auction-collection-bca-glasgow)[Manheim Manchester](https://ovmtransport.com/auction-collection-manheim-manchester)[Central Car Auctions Glasgow](https://ovmtransport.com/auction-collection-central-car-auctions-glasgow) ## Only if it can be driven out OVM moves roadworthy cars and vans on trade plates. The vehicle has to have a valid MOT and be drivable. A salvage car, a non-runner, or anything the compound will not release for a driven exit needs a transporter. We will tell you that rather than send a driver to fail at the gate. Condition is photographed at the compound before it moves. It is photographed again at delivery. You get the digital proof when the job closes.

The office checks first. Then we collect. How it runs ## What actually happens Four steps. Most of them are ours rather than yours. - 01 ### Buy, then wait for release Code, buyer reference, whatever that compound needs at the gate. - 02 ### Send us the details Registration, site, postcodes, date. Instant quote on this page, or call the office. - 03 ### We confirm with the compound No dispatch until the site agrees the vehicle can leave. - 04 ### Driven out, evidenced Photographs at the compound and at delivery. Digital proof when the job closes. Questions ## Common questions Prefer to speak to someone? Call the team. Instant Quote0141 459 1302 When do you collect from auction? Once the release is confirmed with the compound. We do not send a driver to wait on paperwork that has not arrived. What do you need from me? Registration, the site, collection and delivery postcodes. The release details you have. Named contacts help. The form on this page is enough to start. Do you collect from BCA, Manheim and Wilsons? Yes, from the compounds we publish, including BCA Bellshill, BCA Glasgow and Manheim Manchester. Each site has its own gate procedure. We confirm it with them, we do not invent it here. What if the car has no MOT? OVM will not drive it. Valid MOT and drivable only. A transporter is the right call. We will say so. Who do I call? 0141 459 1302. OVM Ltd, 48 West George Street, Glasgow, G2 1BP. ## Other posts [All posts](https://ovmtransport.com/blog) [Auction collection ### Auction release codes before a trade plate collection Buying the lot does not get the car off the yard. Release does. A release code, buyer reference or vehicle release is the auction's instruction that this registration is cleared to leave. Until the compound confirms it, OVM will not send a trade plate driver to the gate. Read the post](https://ovmtransport.com/blog/trade-plate-release-code-auction)[Auction collection ### Collecting from BCA Glasgow on trade plates BCA Glasgow is a compound collection, not a kerbside pickup. After the hammer you still need the lot released, the vehicle legal to drive and a driver the gate will actually let through. OVM collects a roadworthy car or van from BCA Glasgow on trade plates once that release is confirmed, photographs it at the yard and drives it to the postcode you give us. Read the post](https://ovmtransport.com/blog/bca-glasgow-collection)[Auction collection ### Driven collection from Manheim after release, including Shotts There is not a compound branded "Manheim Scotland". The Scottish Manheim centre is **Manheim Shotts**, on Stane Road, Shotts, North Lanarkshire. OVM collects a roadworthy car or van from that yard on trade plates after release is confirmed, then drives it to the postcode you give us. Read the post](https://ovmtransport.com/blog/manheim-scotland-collection)[Auctions ### Which auction compound to put on the booking "It's at BCA" is not a collection address. Neither is "Manheim" or "Wilsons". Those are houses. The driver is sent to a site. Get the site wrong and you have paid for a man in the wrong queue, while storage keeps running on the lot that did not move.
