Get the release through and stop the storage clock
Storage charges at BCA Glasgow start when you buy, not when you arrange collection, and every extra day on the yard adds to the auction's bill. Getting the lot out quickly saves you money.
A driven movement is one vehicle, so there is no waiting for a transporter to fill up. The only thing we wait for is the release. Send us the release code or buyer reference as soon as BCA issues it, and the office will confirm with the site before dispatching a driver. If the code has not come through yet, we hold your booking until it does.
We do not send a driver to wait in the compound queue on the off chance, as that wastes a trip while your car stays on charge. Read auction release codes before a trade plate collection for how this works at every auction house.
Storage is the auction's bill
It runs until the lot leaves, so we move as soon as the release is confirmed.
Release confirmed first
We check the code or buyer reference with BCA Glasgow before a driver is sent.
BCA Glasgow, Bellshill, Livingston and Newbridge are separate sites
Scotland has several BCA compounds, and buyers sometimes mix them up on the form. BCA Glasgow is the Glasgow site, while BCA Bellshill, BCA Livingston and BCA Newbridge each have their own gates, stock lists and release records.
Put the right site on your quote so the driver heads to the compound holding your car. If you are not sure which one it is, say so on the booking and the office will check before anyone sets off.
Central Car Auctions in Glasgow is a separate auction house. If your car is there, book that compound rather than BCA.
The lot must be released, the collector name must match and the keys must be there. The vehicle also needs to be drivable with a valid MOT, because trade plates do not replace one, even if the car is booked in for a test at your workshop.
If anything is not right, the driver stops and the office calls you. Salvage and CAT stock is not something we move on trade plates, even if it starts.
We photograph the vehicle and record its condition before it leaves the yard. That proof of collection gives you a baseline to compare against the auction description, and proof of delivery is the signed handover at your site or your buyer's door. Both arrive together as one digital report.
Roadworthy vehicles only
A valid MOT and a vehicle that is legal to drive. Starting in the compound is not enough on its own.
Photographed at the yard
Proof of collection to compare with the auction description, proof of delivery at handover and one digital report.
Delivering from BCA Glasgow anywhere in Great Britain
We deliver from BCA Glasgow to any postcode in England, Scotland and Wales. Your lot can go to a local prep centre, another Scottish dealer or a branch in England or Wales on one driven job. We plan everything from our Glasgow office, and the collection is made straight from the compound.
If the car is going to another dealer, tell us it is dealer to dealer. If it is going to a named customer, tell us it is a retail handover, as the time needed at delivery is different. Read more in dealer to dealer vehicle movements.
Use the instant quote. Enter the registration, BCA Glasgow as the collection point, the delivery postcode, the date and your name, company, phone and email. Add the release details as soon as you have them, along with named contacts at both ends.
You do not need an account and the price appears on screen. Fuel or charging is included and there is no rate card. Gate arrangements can change from day to day, so the office checks with the site before each collection.
Do you need the BCA Glasgow release before the driver sets off?
Yes. We confirm the release details, buyer reference and collector name with the site first, which avoids a wasted trip and extra storage charges.
Is BCA Glasgow the same as BCA Bellshill?
No, they are separate compounds. Put the site holding your lot on the quote, and if you are not sure, tell the office and we will check before dispatch.
Can you drive a BCA Glasgow purchase to an English dealership?
Yes, as long as it is roadworthy with a valid MOT. We can collect in Glasgow and deliver anywhere in England or Wales on one driven job, though Northern Ireland is outside our service area.
What if the lot is released but will not run?
We only drive cars and vans that are legal on the road, so a non runner needs a transporter. We will tell you at the quote stage so you can book the right service.
Who do I call if the release code arrives late in the day?
Call our Glasgow office on 0141 459 1302, and use the instant quote too so the registration and postcodes are already on the job. Let us know the date you need and we will confirm what we can do.
