Junction 2 of the M5 sits on the edge of Oldbury, and the A4123, the Birmingham New Road, runs north towards Wolverhampton. The A457 links the town with Smethwick and Birmingham, and canals thread through the industrial areas.
Oldbury is a mix of terraced streets, inter-war housing and industrial estates. Many cars here work hard, and a big repair bill on a high-mileage car is a common reason for scrapping.
If your car is at a workplace on one of Oldbury’s industrial estates, collection from there is fine with the site’s agreement. Mention gate times and any security procedure so the driver is not turned away.
