Trade plate vehicle movements in Stourbridge and the Black Country

Stourbridge roads: the A491, the A458 and the A449

There is no motorway into Stourbridge, so the last part of every drive is on Black Country A roads. The A491 is the spine of the town, running to Hagley in one direction and Kingswinford in the other. The A458 heads out towards Bridgnorth, the A4036 goes to Dudley and the A449 dual carriageway runs to Worcester. We agree a collection time you can rely on rather than promise a same day slot.

High Street and the streets around the town clock are tight. Units on Hayes Lane, in Amblecote and on the industrial land by the canal usually have a barrier and a site contact, while a delivery in Oldswinford or near Mary Stevens Park needs someone to meet the driver and a legal place to stop.

Lye, Amblecote, Wollaston, Oldswinford, Hagley, Kingswinford and Brierley Hill all get booked as Stourbridge, so please give us the exact place. After a one way delivery our driver can use Stourbridge Junction on the line to Birmingham Snow Hill, the short branch to Stourbridge Town or the stops at Lye and Hagley.

Auction collections from BCA Bilston and the Black Country sites

There is no auction site in Stourbridge, so most local buyers collect from BCA Bilston and drive back along the A4036 once the lot is released. BCA Birmingham serves the city, BCA Walsall and Manheim Darlaston sit to the north and Central Car Auctions Stafford is further on if that is where you bought.

Bilston may be close, but a driver still cannot collect until the lot is released, so we confirm that with the auction before anyone sets off. Our guide to auction collection after release explains each step for Black Country buyers. A salvage lot from any of these yards has to go on a transporter rather than our plates.

Dealer transfers and fleet vans from Hayes Lane and Amblecote

Independents in Stourbridge, Lye and Kingswinford often need a car taken to a group site in Dudley, Wolverhampton or Worcester. Others are sending a part exchange to Bilston once it is legal to drive. Fleet vans come off Hayes Lane and Amblecote, and each one needs a valid MOT before we collect.

If you have promised a customer in Oldswinford a delivery to their door, our driver arrives in the car itself, with no trailer holding up the ring road. Find out how site transfers and retail handovers are handled.

A town centre street and a canalside unit need different instructions, so add a named contact and any gate codes to the booking. Because we move one vehicle at a time, your car never waits for a transporter to fill its deck on the A449.

Lye, Wollaston or Brierley Hill: booking the right address

Most delays come from closures on the A449, queues on the A491 and a Lye collection booked as Stourbridge. If the car is at BCA Bilston, tell us and the driver goes straight to the gate rather than High Street. If it is a house in Wollaston, we will not send them to Hayes Lane first.

Name a date that works and we will plan the drive through the Black Country around it. A quick hop from Amblecote gets the same panels, mileage and photos at collection as a long run, with a signature on delivery and one report by email.

Booking a DY8 movement with OVM

Any car or van leaving DY8 with us must be roadworthy and legal to drive, with a valid MOT where one is required and keys that start it. Our trade plates and motor trade road risk insurance cover the vehicle from collection until it is signed for, and proof of collection and proof of delivery arrive together when the job is done.

To see a price, add the registration, both postcodes and your dates to the instant quote, or ring 0141 459 1302. Our main pages explain what a driven trade plate vehicle movement is and how OVM covers the UK from Glasgow.
