Trade plate vehicle movements in Montrose and Angus

Reaching Montrose on the A92 and the A90

The A92 is the coast road through Montrose, running south to Arbroath and north to Inverbervie and Stonehaven. The A90 runs inland and suits jobs heading for Forfar or the central belt, while the A935 links the town with Brechin and the A937 heads towards Marykirk. The last stretch of any long run is on Angus A roads, so we agree a realistic date rather than promising a same day slot.

The High Street and the streets down towards the harbour are tight, and a yard on Forties Road is a very different stop from a house near the basin or in Borrowfield. Give us the full postcode and a named contact so the driver goes straight to the right door.

Montrose station sits on the Dundee to Aberdeen line, which gives our driver a simple way home after a one way delivery and makes the town an easy place for us to work.

Local runs to Arbroath, Brechin and beyond

Short hops along the coast are as welcome as long runs south. Collecting in Arbroath and delivering to Montrose is one job, and so is collecting in Montrose and delivering to Glasgow. Ferryden, Hillside, St Cyrus, Forfar and Stonehaven are all regular stops.

If the car is really in Brechin or St Cyrus, just put that village on the booking. It saves the driver a detour through town and keeps your handover on time.

Auction collections from BCA Glasgow, BCA Newbridge and Manheim Shotts

There is no auction site in Angus, so Montrose buyers usually collect from BCA Newbridge near Edinburgh, BCA Glasgow or Manheim Shotts in Lanarkshire. We also collect from Wilsons Auctions Dalry and Central Car Auctions Glasgow if that is where you bought.

Our driver brings the lot straight up the A90 to your forecourt once the auction confirms it has been released. See how collection after release works. We cannot drive salvage on trade plates, so those lots need a transporter.

Dealer transfers, fleet vans and handovers across Angus

A typical Montrose booking is an Angus independent sending a car to a group site in Dundee or Aberdeen, or a part exchange going to BCA Newbridge once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off harbour and industrial units, and each one needs a valid MOT before we can take it.

If you have promised a customer in Ferryden a delivery to their door, our driver arrives in the car itself with no trailer in the way. Read about our retail handovers and site transfers. Port security and a quiet street by the basin need different arrangements, so let us know who will meet the driver.

Booking a DD10 movement with OVM

Your car or van needs to be roadworthy and road legal, with a current MOT if it requires one. Cars, light vans and EVs are welcome, while HGVs and non runners are not. Our motor trade road risk insurance covers the vehicle from collection until it is signed for, and you receive photos and both proofs in a single email report.
