Trade plate vehicle movements in Keynsham, between Bristol and Bath

Keynsham on the A4: Somerdale, Saltford and the Avon Ring Road

The A4 is the road that matters here, running to Brislington and Bristol in one direction and Saltford and Bath in the other. For longer runs our drivers pick up the A4174 Avon Ring Road and keep clear of the High Street, while the B3116 links across to the A37. When the ring road stops, the A4 through town fills quickly, so we plan the date with you rather than promise a same day slot.

Somerdale on the north bank of the Avon, Chandag, Park Estate and the yards along Broadmead Lane and Ashmead are all different final stretches. Send us the exact postcode, plus any barrier instructions for a compound, and the driver will head straight to the right place.

Short local runs are just as welcome as long ones. Collecting in Saltford and delivering in Keynsham is one job, and so is collecting in Keynsham and delivering to Glasgow. Keynsham station sits on the Great Western Main Line between Bristol Temple Meads and Bath Spa, which gives our driver an easy way home after a one way delivery.

Auction collections from BCA Bristol, BCA Westbury and Manheim Dursley

BCA Bristol is the closest auction for most Keynsham buyers, an easy run along the A4 or the A4174 once your lot is released. BCA Westbury lies to the east in Wiltshire, Manheim Dursley is the Gloucestershire option and BCA Bridgwater covers lots bought further south.

We confirm release with the auction before a driver sets off, so nobody is left waiting at the gate. Read more about auction collection after release. Salvage vehicles cannot travel on trade plates and need a transporter instead.

Dealer transfers and retail handovers across Bath and North East Somerset

A typical Keynsham booking is an independent sending a car to a group site in Bristol or Bath, or a part exchange heading to BCA Bristol once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off the units out towards Ashmead, and each one needs a valid MOT before we can move it.

Retail handovers count just as much. If you have promised a customer in Chandag a delivery to the door, our driver arrives in the car itself with no trailer to park on a narrow residential street. See how we handle site transfers and retail handovers, and add a named contact to every booking.

Because we move single vehicles, your car never sits waiting for a transporter to fill its deck on the A4.

Keeping a Keynsham booking on track

Closures on the A4 between Bristol and Bath and queues on the A4174 are the usual hold ups, along with a Saltford address booked as Keynsham. Tell us exactly where the car is, whether that is BCA Bristol, a house near Somerdale or a unit on Broadmead Lane, and pick a date you can keep.

The paperwork is the same on a short hop from Saltford as on a long run north. Condition and photos are recorded at collection, the receiver signs on delivery and proof of both arrives together in one report by email.
