Trade plate vehicle movements in Swanley, north west Kent

Auction collections from BCA Crawley, Wilsons Auctions Maidstone and beyond

Swanley has no auction site of its own, but it is well placed for several. Local buyers collect from BCA Crawley, Wilsons Auctions Maidstone, BCA Enfield and Central Car Auctions Lingfield, and we pick up from all four.

We confirm with the auction that your lot has been released before a driver joins the M25, so nobody is left at a closed gate. See auction collection after release for the full process. The only lots we cannot drive are salvage vehicles.

We also handle plenty of moves to and from Orpington, Dartford and Sidcup.

Junction 3 of the M25 and the A20 into Swanley

Most of our drivers come off the M25 at junction 3 and pick up the A20, which runs to London one way and Maidstone the other. The B2173 is the way in from Orpington, and the B258 leads to Hextable. Hold ups at junction 3, delays through Farningham and school run traffic on the High Street all affect timings, so we agree a realistic collection time with you rather than pledge a same day slot.

BR8 is not just the town centre. Hextable, Crockenhill, Swanley Village, St Mary's and Birchwood each have their own streets, so please book the exact address rather than simply Swanley.

A move from Wested Lane to St Mary's is one booking, and so is a car collected in Swanley and delivered to Glasgow. If the other end sits inside London's ULEZ, mention it when you book. Swanley station, served by the Chatham Main Line and the Maidstone East line, gives our driver a quick way home.

Dealer transfers and fleet vans from Wested Lane

Swanley independents often send stock to group sites in Orpington or Dartford, and part exchanges head to BCA Crawley once they are legal to drive. Fleet vans come off Wested Lane, the BR8 industrial estates and the units towards Hextable, and each one needs a valid MOT.

For a retail handover, your customer off the High Street or up in Birchwood sees our driver pull up in their new car, not a trailer outside the station. See how we handle site transfers and retail handovers.

The High Street and Azalea Drive are tight, so add the estate name, any barrier code and a named contact to your booking.

Legal to drive, insured and fully documented

Every car or van must be legal for the road, with a valid MOT and keys that start it. The rules are the same in Swanley as anywhere else.

Our driver records photos and condition at collection, the receiver signs on delivery and you get proof of collection and proof of delivery together by email. A quick hop from Hextable to Birchwood is documented just as carefully as a long run north, and motor trade road risk insurance covers the vehicle throughout.
