From our Glasgow office the run is down the M77 to Fenwick and on along the A77, or across the A71 when the other postcode lies towards Irvine. Every job is quoted as one driven movement between two postcodes. Just give us your name, company, phone and email, plus a named contact at each end, and we will agree a date you can count on.

Auction collections from Dalry, Glasgow, Bellshill and Shotts

There is no auction yard in Kilmarnock, and Wilsons Auctions Dalry is the closest, a short run over the A71. BCA Glasgow and Central Car Auctions Glasgow are up the M77, BCA Bellshill serves Lanarkshire and Manheim Shotts lies further east.

Before a driver leaves we confirm with the site that your lot has been released. You can read the full process on our auction collection page. Salvage stock has to go by transporter rather than on plates.

For moves into the city, see trade plate vehicle movements in Glasgow. Ayr and Prestwick have their own pages, so use those for KA7 and KA9 addresses.

From Bonnyton to New Farm Loch: finding the right Kilmarnock address

Trade units at Bonnyton, Moorfield and Riccarton have barriers and site managers, while King Street, Portland Street and the streets around the Cross are tight. Customers in Onthank or New Farm Loch need somewhere legal for the driver to stop, and a match day at Rugby Park fills the roads nearby.

Stewarton, Hurlford, Irvine, Troon and Kilwinning are separate towns with their own postcodes, so please put the exact address on the booking. KA10, KA12 and KA13 belong to Troon, Irvine and Kilwinning rather than Kilmarnock.

The A76 heads south to Dumfries. Ayr, Irvine, Stewarton, Hurlford, Prestwick and Glasgow are all close neighbours. A short hop from Moorfield to New Farm Loch is one job, and so is a run from Kilmarnock to a buyer in England.

Kilmarnock station and the trip home

Kilmarnock station sits on the line between Glasgow and Carlisle by way of Dumfries, as well as the line to Ayr, which makes it easy for our driver to get home after a one way delivery. Kilmaurs is a separate stop, and we choose whichever is more useful for the drop.

Dealer moves and fleet vans across East Ayrshire

A typical Kilmarnock booking is an independent sending a car to a group site in Glasgow or Ayr, or a part exchange heading to Dalry once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off Moorfield and Bonnyton, and every one needs a valid MOT.

For a retail customer in New Farm Loch, our driver turns up in the car itself, with no trailer blocking a terrace off King Street. Find out how site transfers and retail handovers work with us.

We move one vehicle at a time, so your car never waits for a transporter to fill its deck on the A77. Add a named contact and any gate code, especially for locked units at Bonnyton.

Planning around the A77 at Bellfield

Closures on the A77 at Bellfield, Rugby Park traffic and a Stewarton address booked under Kilmarnock are the usual causes of delay. For a lot at Wilsons Dalry the A71 is the run, and release must be confirmed first. Give us the estate name, barrier code and a contact so the driver heads straight to Onthank or Moorfield.

The paperwork does not change on a short drive. A hop from Hurlford into town gets photos at collection and a signature on delivery, just like a long run south.

Booking a KA1 movement with OVM

We need the keys, and the vehicle must be legal to drive with a valid MOT where one applies. Proof of collection and proof of delivery come to you in one email when the job closes. Find out how a trade plate movement works and how far we cover.

Common questions

If your question is not here, call the Glasgow office and we will answer it on the spot.

0141 459 1302
Which Kilmarnock postcodes do you cover?

Every district in and around Kilmarnock, including KA1, KA3, KA4, KA7, KA9, KA10, KA12 and KA13. If yours is not on that list it is almost certainly still covered, because we work right across East Ayrshire.

Do you cover the areas around Kilmarnock?

Yes. A driver working Kilmarnock also covers Galston, Stewarton, Newmilns, Irvine and Troon. Collection and delivery can be at either end of the same job.

How quickly can you get a driver to Kilmarnock?

It depends on where the driver is finishing their previous job. Kilmarnock is served by Kilmarnock and Kilmaurs, which is how our drivers travel in for a collection or get home after a one-way delivery. Decent rail access usually means a quicker turnaround.
