BCA Vehicle Collection
Purchased a vehicle through BCA and need independent transport arranged? 247 Road Assistance provides professional vehicle collection and transport for customers who need a purchased vehicle moved to a dealership, garage, workshop, business premises or other agreed destination.
Whether the vehicle is ready to drive, requires planned transport, has a mechanical problem or needs moving over a longer distance, contact us with the collection and delivery details for a personalised quote.
Arrange Independent Vehicle Transport
Provide the collection location, delivery destination, vehicle make and model and any relevant information about its condition.
Before arranging transport, make sure the vehicle is properly released and available for collection in accordance with the auction provider's current requirements.

Purchasing a vehicle through an auction or remarketing platform can leave you needing to arrange transportation from the collection location to its next destination.
247 Road Assistance provides independent vehicle collection and transport for customers who need a vehicle moved without driving it from the collection site.
Your vehicle can be transported to an agreed destination such as a dealership, garage, workshop, storage location or suitable business premises, depending on the individual transport requirements.
For general auction transport information, visit our auction vehicle collection page.
For a Quote, Provide
- Collection location
- Delivery destination

- Whether the vehicle drives
- Whether it rolls and steers
- Whether keys are available
- Any known mechanical issues
Reasons to Arrange Collection Instead of Driving the Vehicle
A vehicle may appear to be running but that does not necessarily mean the buyer wants, or is able, to drive it from the collection location. Professional transportation can provide a practical alternative.
Distance
The vehicle may be located a significant distance from your home, dealership or business, making professional collection more practical.
Unknown Condition
You may prefer not to undertake a long journey in a recently purchased vehicle where its mechanical condition is not fully known.
Mechanical Problems
A vehicle may have mechanical issues, warning lights or faults that make planned transportation preferable to driving it.
Non-Running Vehicle
If the vehicle does not start or drive, professional transport may be required to move it from the collection location.
Trade Stock Movement
Dealers and motor traders may need purchased vehicles moved directly to a dealership, preparation centre, workshop or storage facility.
Direct Workshop Delivery
A vehicle requiring inspection, servicing or repair can potentially be transported directly to an agreed garage or workshop.

Vehicle Transport for Motor Traders & Dealers
Motor traders and dealerships may purchase vehicles from locations outside their immediate area and require transport to bring those vehicles into stock.
247 Road Assistance can assess individual vehicle collection requests for transportation to dealerships, garages, preparation centres, workshops, storage locations and other suitable business destinations.
When requesting a quote, provide the complete collection and delivery details together with the vehicle make, model and condition.
If you regularly buy or move vehicles for your business, our planned trade vehicle recovery service page will provide further information once available.

- Vehicle workshops
- Preparation centres
- Storage locations
- Other agreed business premises
A Running Vehicle Is Not Automatically Suitable to Drive Away
A vehicle being described as running or driving does not necessarily confirm its overall mechanical condition, roadworthiness or suitability for a long road journey.
Buyers remain responsible for ensuring that any vehicle they choose to drive on public roads is legally and mechanically suitable for that journey.
Where the condition is uncertain, the vehicle has known faults or you simply prefer not to drive it from the collection location, professional vehicle transportation may provide a practical alternative.
Check Your Current Vehicle Release Instructions
Before arranging independent third-party transportation, make sure your vehicle has been properly released and is available for collection.
Auction and vehicle remarketing collection procedures can change. Customers should check their current BCA account, purchase documentation, vehicle release information and collection instructions before booking transportation.
Any current requirements relating to payment, release, identification, collection booking or third-party authorisation remain the responsibility of the buyer.
247 Road Assistance provides the independent transport service once the vehicle is authorised and available for collection.
Before Arranging Collection
- Confirm the purchase is complete
- Confirm the vehicle is released
- Check current collection instructions
- Complete required authorisation
- Check any booking requirements
- Have vehicle details available
- Check applicable collection deadlines
247 Road Assistance Is an Independent Vehicle Transport Business
247 Road Assistance provides independent vehicle recovery and transport services. We are not part of, affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of BCA.
BCA operates its own auction, remarketing, payment, release and collection procedures. Customers should check the current requirements relating to their individual purchase before arranging collection by an independent transport provider.
Our role is to provide the agreed vehicle collection and transport service once the vehicle has been properly released and is available for collection.
Tell Us About the Vehicle Before Collection
Accurate information helps us assess the transport requirements before collection. Even where a vehicle is described as running, any known mechanical or mobility issues should be disclosed.
Starting
Tell us whether the vehicle starts normally or whether it is currently known to be a non-runner.
Driving
Confirm whether the vehicle can move under its own power or has known drivetrain or mechanical problems.
Wheel Movement
Let us know if the vehicle rolls freely or if there are known locked, damaged or restricted wheels.
Steering
Tell us about known steering problems that could affect positioning or loading the vehicle.
Keys
Confirm whether working keys are available, particularly if the vehicle cannot be moved or unlocked normally.
Known Faults
Provide information about known mechanical faults, warning lights, damage or other issues that may affect transportation.
Where Can Your Vehicle Be Transported?
The destination will depend on your individual requirements and suitable access for vehicle delivery.
Dealership
Purchased stock can potentially be transported directly to an agreed dealership location.
Garage
Vehicles requiring inspection or mechanical attention can be transported to an agreed garage.
Workshop
A vehicle requiring preparation or repair may be transported directly to a suitable workshop.
Business Premises
Trade buyers may arrange transportation to suitable business premises with appropriate access.
Storage Location
Vehicles can potentially be transported to an agreed storage location, subject to suitable delivery access.
Other Agreed Destination
Tell us where the vehicle needs to go and we can assess the collection and delivery requirements.
What If Your BCA Vehicle Does Not Run?
If the vehicle does not start or cannot be driven, professional transport may still be possible depending on its condition and ability to be safely loaded.
Tell us whether the vehicle rolls freely, whether the steering operates and whether there are any known problems with the brakes, wheels or suspension.
For more information, visit our non-runner vehicle recovery page.
For a Non-Runner, Confirm
- Does the vehicle start?
- Can it move under its own power?
- Does it roll freely?
- Does the steering operate?
- Are the brakes released?
- Are any wheels locked?
- Is there known suspension damage?
Does the Vehicle Have Working Keys?
If working keys are not available, tell us before collection. A no-key vehicle can have additional considerations depending on its steering, transmission and parking brake systems.
Locked steering, a transmission that remains in Park or an engaged electronic parking brake can affect how easily the vehicle can be moved and loaded.
Visit our no-key vehicle recovery page for further information.
No-Key Considerations
- Vehicle access
- Locked steering
- Transmission position
- Electronic parking brake
- Wheel movement
- Loading requirements
How to Arrange BCA Vehicle Collection
Send the Details
Provide the vehicle make, model and accurate information about its current condition.
Provide Both Locations
Tell us where the vehicle needs collecting and the full delivery postcode or destination.
Confirm Release
Check the current collection requirements and make sure the vehicle is authorised and ready for third-party collection.
Arrange Transport
Subject to vehicle suitability and availability, collection and delivery arrangements can then be confirmed.
Is Your Vehicle Located Further Away?
A vehicle purchased through an auction may be located a considerable distance from your dealership, garage, workshop or other destination.
Instead of arranging for someone to travel to the collection site and drive the vehicle back, planned vehicle transport may provide a practical alternative.
Longer-distance journeys are quoted individually based on the collection location, delivery destination, vehicle type and transport requirements.
Visit our long-distance vehicle transport page for more information.
Quote Considerations
- Collection location
- Delivery destination
- Journey distance
- Vehicle make and model
- Vehicle size and weight
- Vehicle condition
- Loading requirements
Collection Requirements Vary by Vehicle
Always provide the exact make and model when requesting a quote. Vehicle dimensions, weight, drivetrain and condition can affect transportation requirements.
Cars
Standard passenger cars can be assessed for planned collection and transport to an agreed destination.
4x4s & SUVs
Larger vehicles may have additional size and weight considerations. Visit our 4x4 and SUV recovery page.

BCA Vehicle Collection FAQs
Can you collect a vehicle I purchased through BCA?
We can assess independent vehicle collection and transport requests based on the collection location, delivery destination, vehicle condition and transport requirements. The vehicle must be properly released and available for third-party collection.
Are you affiliated with BCA?
No. 247 Road Assistance is an independent vehicle recovery and transport business. We are not part of, affiliated with or endorsed by BCA. We provide independent vehicle transportation for customers who need their purchased vehicle collected.
What should I do before arranging collection?
Check your current account, purchase documentation, vehicle release information and collection instructions. Make sure the vehicle is properly released and that any current booking or third-party collection requirements have been completed.
Can you collect vehicles for motor traders and dealerships?
We can assess vehicle transport requests for motor traders, dealers and other vehicle businesses. Vehicles can potentially be transported to an agreed dealership, garage, workshop, preparation centre, storage location or other suitable destination.
Why would I transport a running vehicle instead of driving it?
You may prefer professional transportation because of journey distance, uncertain mechanical condition, known faults or because the vehicle needs to go directly to a dealership, garage or workshop. A vehicle being described as running does not by itself confirm its roadworthiness or suitability for a long journey.
Can you collect a non-running BCA vehicle?
Non-running vehicle collection may be possible depending on the vehicle's condition and loading requirements. Tell us whether the vehicle rolls and steers and whether there are any known wheel, brake or suspension problems.
Can you collect a vehicle without keys?
No-key vehicles may require additional assessment because the steering could be locked, the transmission may remain in Park or an electronic parking brake may be engaged. Tell us before collection if working keys are unavailable.
Can you deliver my vehicle directly to a garage or workshop?
A vehicle can potentially be transported directly to an agreed garage, workshop, dealership or other suitable destination, subject to appropriate access and transport arrangements.
Can you provide long-distance BCA vehicle transport?
Longer-distance transport may be available depending on the collection location, delivery destination, vehicle requirements and availability. Provide both locations when requesting a quote.
How much does BCA vehicle collection cost?
Pricing depends on the individual journey and vehicle. Factors can include distance, vehicle type, size, weight, condition, whether it runs and rolls, availability of keys, accessibility and loading requirements.
What information do you need for a quote?
Provide the collection location, delivery destination, vehicle make and model and accurate information about its condition. Tell us whether it starts, drives, rolls and steers, whether working keys are available and about any known mechanical or mobility issues.
