Trade plate vehicle movements in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire

Eastwood, the A610 and junctions 26 and 27 of the M1

The A610 is the local road into Nottingham and out towards Ripley, and junctions 26 and 27 of the M1 bring our longer drives into town. Traffic at junction 26 and queues on the A610 can hold things up, so we agree a date that works rather than promising a same day slot.

Hill Top, Newthorpe and Giltbrook each have their own last stretch, and Heanor or Kimberley are separate towns altogether. The Erewash marks the county line too, so a car just over the river in Derbyshire is still welcome but needs its own postcode. Give us the exact address and the driver goes straight there.

Heanor, Ilkeston, Kimberley, Ripley, Nottingham and Derby are all close by. A move from Heanor into Eastwood is one job and a move from Eastwood to Glasgow is another. Langley Mill station on the Erewash Valley line gives our driver a simple route home after a one way delivery.

Collecting auction lots from Manheim Huthwaite and BCA Nottingham

Eastwood has no auction site of its own. Local buyers usually collect from Manheim Huthwaite or BCA Nottingham, both a short drive away, and BCA Castle Donington is the option further south on the M1.

We confirm with the auction that your lot has been released before a driver is sent, then bring it straight back to NG16. Here is how auction collection after release works from start to finish. If the lot is salvage, it will need a transporter rather than one of our drivers.

Dealer transfers, Giltbrook vans and Broxtowe customers

A typical booking is a Broxtowe independent sending a car to a group site in Nottingham, or a part exchange heading to Huthwaite once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans leave units at Giltbrook, and each one needs a valid MOT before we can take it.

When a customer in Newthorpe is expecting their car, our driver delivers it to the door. A barrier at Giltbrook and a front door off Nottingham Road need different details, so add a named contact at each end. Read more on transfers between sites and handovers to customers.

If you have several cars that do not run sitting on a park near junction 26, those belong on a transporter, and we will tell you so up front rather than send a driver who cannot move them.

Avoiding wasted trips across NG16

Most hold ups come from a Heanor collection booked as Eastwood or a lock up in Newthorpe with no contact. Add the estate, the gate details and the name of the person meeting us. That way the driver will not head to the D.H. Lawrence museum end of town when the car is in Giltbrook, or to Nottingham Road when it is waiting at Manheim Huthwaite.

A hop from Heanor gets the same paperwork as a long run north. You get collection photos, a condition record and the receiver's signature, all in one email once the job closes.

Booking your Eastwood movement

To travel on our plates, a car must be roadworthy, road legal and carrying a valid MOT where required. Light commercial vans are fine, HGVs are not. Our plates and our motor trade road risk insurance stay with the car from the moment we collect it until handover.
