Aston Barclay Westbury Vehicle Collection and Delivery
Aston Barclay Westbury sells a high volume of fleet and ex lease stock, and a lot of it is bought by trade and private buyers who are nowhere near Wiltshire. We collect from the site and deliver the vehicle to your home, business or garage anywhere in England, whether it drives or not.
Westbury is an Aston Barclay site. It is often searched for as BCA Westbury, so if that is how you found us, you are in the right place.
Getting a transporter into a site with no motorway on the doorstep
Westbury sits in west Wiltshire, away from the motorway network, so a collection here takes longer to reach than a site on the M1 or M6. That matters for timing rather than price: we plan the run against release times instead of turning up and hoping. Vehicles bought here often head south west towards Devon and Cornwall, or north east towards the M4 corridor, and we can combine a Westbury collection with another job on the same route.
What tends to sell here, and why it changes the job
Fleet and ex lease cars dominate here, which usually means serviced, MOT'd vehicles that have been driven until the day they were defleeted. Those load easily. The exception is anything that has sat in the compound for a few weeks with a flat battery, and that is the single most common surprise for a buyer who assumed a runner. We price a collection so that a dead battery does not turn into a second trip.
From release reference to loaded on the bed
Once you send us the lot details, we confirm a collection slot that fits the release window the auction has given you. The driver checks the vehicle against the lot description before loading, photographs it on the ground and on the bed, and loads it on a flatbed rather than towing, so nothing is dragged on a car that may have been standing for weeks. You get photo confirmation at collection and again at handover.
Send us the lot number and we will plan the run
Tell us the lot, the release window and where it is going. We will confirm a realistic collection slot and a fixed price on the call.
Winching a car that has been standing in a row
Cars parked mid row cannot simply be driven out, so we winch onto a flatbed and steer with the wheel rather than dragging. If a vehicle neither steers nor brakes we bring skates. Flatbed rather than a spec lift is the default here, because ex lease bodywork is what you are paying for and we would rather carry it than tow it.
The four details that let us quote properly
We need the lot number, the release or gate pass reference, the buyer name the vehicle is released to, and the full delivery address with a contact number. If the vehicle is a non runner, tell us whether it steers and brakes, because that changes how we winch it out of the row. If keys are held at the office, say so and we will collect them at the same time.
Written for buyers who are nowhere near Wiltshire
Remote trade and private buyers
Most people reading this bid online and have never set foot on the site. That means you cannot see how the car is parked, whether it turned a wheel, or how far it is from the gate. We work on the assumption that you know the lot number and very little else, so we ask the questions the auction did not, and we tell you what we find when the driver gets eyes on it.
What you are actually buying from us
- Goods in transit and public liability cover in place on every load
- Photos on the ground and photos strapped down, sent to you
- One price agreed before the driver sets off, no gate surcharges
- Runners and non runners handled on the same booking
Questions Westbury buyers ask before booking
The short version
A rural site, a lot of ex fleet stock and buyers spread across England. The job is mostly about planning the run around the release window and being honest about timing rather than promising a slot we cannot hold.
