Trade plate vehicle movements in Salisbury and south Wiltshire

The A36, the A30 and the roads into Salisbury

No motorway reaches Salisbury, so the A36 does most of the work, running to Southampton one way and Warminster and Westbury the other. The A30 links Stockbridge and Shaftesbury, the A338 runs between Ringwood and Marlborough and the A345 heads up to Amesbury and the plain. A closure at Petersfinger or a busy market day can hold things up, so we agree a date you can rely on.

The Close, the High Street and the streets around the market are tight. Sites at Churchfields, on Southampton Road or across the SP2 industrial land usually have barriers and a named manager, while homes in Harnham or Bishopdown need a legal place to stop. Tell us exactly where the vehicle is and the driver will go straight there.

Salisbury station gives our driver a simple way home after a one way delivery, and we plan that leg in advance.

Wilton, Laverstock, Bemerton and the rest of SP1 and SP2

SP1 and SP2 cover different parts of the city, so the postcode really matters. Laverstock and Bemerton have their own addresses, and Wilton and Amesbury are towns of their own. Put the place name on the booking alongside the postcode.

Local moves are as welcome as long runs. Collecting at Churchfields and delivering in the Close is one job, and collecting in Salisbury and delivering to Glasgow is another. Romsey, Andover and Shaftesbury are all nearby.

Auction collections from BCA Westbury, BCA Bridgwater and BCA Camberley

There is no auction site in Salisbury, so most local buyers collect from BCA Westbury, a run up the A36 once the lot is released. BCA Bridgwater lies to the west and BCA Camberley to the east.

Whichever site you bought from, we confirm the release before a driver sets off, so the trip is never wasted. See auction collection after release for more. Salvage vehicles cannot be driven on trade plates and need a transporter.

Salisbury dealer transfers, part exchanges and Churchfields vans

City independents often send a single car to a group site in Southampton or the West Country, and a driven movement saves it waiting for a transporter to fill its deck on the A36. Part exchanges can go to BCA Westbury once they are legal to drive.

Fleet vans come off Churchfields, Southampton Road and the SP2 units and need a valid MOT before collection. A dealer site transfer and a customer handover in Harnham are different jobs, and we treat each one properly. Read how we handle site transfers and retail handovers.

A36 closures, a market day pinch or a Wilton car booked as Salisbury are the usual reasons for delay. Add the right postcode, any barrier code and a named contact, and the record is identical on a Bemerton hop and a long run: photos at collection, a signature on delivery and one report by email.

Booking a Salisbury vehicle movement

Cars and light vans are welcome if they are roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required; rigid lorries are not. Condition is recorded before the vehicle moves, the receiver signs at the other end and our motor trade road risk insurance covers it in between.
