Trade Plate Vehicle Movements in Newcastle Upon Tyne

BCA Newcastle, Manheim Washington and Wilsons Birtley collections

Three auction sites sit close together around the Tyne, and because they are so near each other buyers sometimes mix them up. Tell us exactly which one your lot is at and the driver will go straight to the right gate.

BCA Newcastle is in NE12, on the Killingworth side of the city, and needs a BCA release for that site. See how we collect from BCA Newcastle upon Tyne after release. Manheim Washington is south of the river in NE38 and usually works from a Manheim buyer reference. Wilsons Birtley is in DH3 and is sometimes called Wilsons Auctions Newcastle, so please use Birtley on the quote.

We confirm release with the site you bought at before a driver is sent, as with every auction collection after release, so no time or storage is lost trying the wrong yard. Photos are taken before the car leaves. If your lot is at another house, name it on the quote. Salvage vehicles cannot travel on trade plates.

Around Tyne and Wear, from Jesmond to Jarrow

A city centre collection in NE1 is often from a building or a street where a truck cannot wait. Gateshead and NE8 sit just across the river, while Wallsend, Byker, Hebburn and Jarrow mix industrial units with residential closes. Whitley Bay, Tynemouth, Cramlington, Blyth, Killingworth, Whickham, Blaydon and Stanley are all covered too.

Crossing the Tyne makes no difference to the booking. Collecting in Killingworth and delivering in Sunderland is one movement with one driver, as long as both postcodes and both contacts are on it. Please give us a person and an address rather than a meeting point at a Metro station. Washington the town and Manheim Washington the compound are different places, so tell us which you mean.

A site transfer between two of your own North East branches is a different job from a retail handover in Jesmond. Our page on site transfers and retail handovers explains both, and you can read when to book trade plate vehicle delivery. If your NE district is not one we usually see, send it anyway: how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow explains how we cover the A1 into Scotland and back.

Why Newcastle dealers book a driver

A transporter wants several vehicles heading the same way, and one car on the A1, the A69 or down to Teesside rarely gives it that. Meanwhile storage at BCA Newcastle, Manheim Washington or Wilsons Birtley keeps running until the lot leaves the site.

Retail deliveries are the second reason. In Jesmond, Gosforth, Tynemouth or a Gateshead close, our driver is the face of your business at the customer's door, and the photo record protects you if anyone queries the condition later.

Groups swapping single cars between Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham and Scottish branches along the A1 suit a driver too. A batch on a flexible date can still be a transporter job, and a car that cannot legally be driven always is. Read when a trade plate driver beats a transporter to weigh it up.

One way deliveries, the Metro and the A1

After a one way delivery our driver gets home by rail or Metro from Bank Foot, Benton, Blaydon, Byker or Newcastle station, so no second vehicle is tied up. Your date is confirmed once the compound has released the car, so put the day you need on the quote.

The A1 links Tyneside with our Glasgow office, but your car never travels north first. Collection is at the NE postcode or auction site you name, with condition and photos recorded before the drive and a signature at the far end.

Booking your Newcastle movement

The car or van must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required. Our motor trade road risk insurance covers it from collection until it is signed for, and you receive proof of collection and proof of delivery together in one report by email.
