Trade plate vehicle movements in Crewe and south Cheshire

Crewe's roads: the M6, the A500 and the routes to Nantwich and Sandbach

Our drivers usually come off the M6 at junction 16 or 17. The A500 dual carriageway runs east towards Stoke, while the A534 and A530 handle the local runs to Nantwich and Sandbach.

Coppenhall, Wistaston and Haslington each have their own last stretch, and a car in Nantwich or Sandbach is not in Crewe at all, so give us the exact postcode and town. If the collection is beside the railway yards, which are still working land, tell us how a driver gets access.

Nantwich, Sandbach, Alsager, Winsford, Stoke-on-Trent and Chester are all within easy reach. A Nantwich collection with a Crewe delivery is one job, and so is a Crewe to Glasgow run.

Auction collections from BCA Carrington, Manheim Manchester and BCA Whitchurch

Crewe has no auction site of its own. BCA Carrington and Manheim Manchester are up the M6 in Greater Manchester, BCA Whitchurch is the closer option over the Shropshire border, Central Car Auctions Stafford lies to the south east and Manheim Haydock is further north on the M6.

We confirm release with the site on your booking before a driver sets off, so the car is ready when we arrive. Find out how our auction collection after release works. Salvage vehicles cannot travel on trade plates.

Cheshire stock that cannot wait for a transporter

A typical Crewe job is an independent sending a car to a Manchester or Stoke group site, a part exchange heading to Carrington or Whitchurch once it is legal to drive, a fleet van leaving a Weston Road unit or a customer in Wistaston expecting a delivery at home.

A loaded truck on the M6 wants a full deck, and one roadworthy van off Weston Road is not that load. With a driver the vehicle leaves when you need it to, rather than when a transporter fills up.

Access by the railway and a front door off Nantwich Road need different instructions, so please add a named contact for each end. Our page on site transfers and retail handovers explains how we handle both.

Planning around junction 16 and shift change on Weston Road

When the M6 closes at junction 16, traffic pours through the town, and shift change on the industrial estates fills Weston Road. Telling us exactly where the car is, whether that is Haslington or a lock up in Coppenhall, saves the driver a detour to the station. For a lot at BCA Carrington, the M6 is the run and release must be confirmed first.

After a one way delivery our driver often heads home from Crewe station on the West Coast Main Line, and we plan that return as part of the job. Choose a date you can keep and add the estate, barrier details and a contact name to the quote. Even a short Nantwich hop gets photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one report by email.

Booking your Crewe movement

The vehicle must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required. We take cars and light commercial vans but not rigid lorries or HGVs, and our motor trade road risk insurance covers the vehicle from collection until it is signed for. If a driver is the wrong choice for your vehicle, we will tell you. Read more about driven trade plate vehicle movements and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow.
