Location Details
Car Shipping from Manheim Birmingham
AutoMove provides professional auto transport services directly from the Manheim Birmingham auction facility located in Birmingham, Alabama. Whether you've purchased a vehicle through Manheim's simulcast online platform or won a unit at an in-lane sale, our team manages every step of transporting your purchase from the auction lot to your destination safely and on time.
Vehicles leaving the Manheim Birmingham yard reach I-59 in about 3 miles, with I-65 roughly 4 miles out and I-20 roughly 5 miles out. Those are the corridors a car hauler actually runs to reach this gate, and the yard sits northeast of Birmingham.
Why Ship from This Location with AutoMove?
AutoMove streamlines the pickup process at Manheim Birmingham by coordinating with facility operations on your behalf. Once your purchase is paid and ready for release, our assigned carrier arrives during operating hours, handles the condition inspection and release documentation, and secures your vehicle for transport. Winch-loading service is available for any unit that cannot be driven onto the trailer.
All shipments move with carriers whose cargo insurance we confirm before dispatch, from lot departure through final delivery. Choose from open transport for cost-effective shipping or enclosed carriers for premium protection. Our standard door-to-door service eliminates terminal transfers, and real-time GPS tracking lets you monitor your vehicle's progress. Our customer support team remains accessible throughout the entire transport process.
Booking a pickup here
Carriers can only load while the gate is open, so a truck arriving after closing waits until the next business day — that is why we book a pickup window rather than just a date. If you have won vehicles at more than one yard in this area, say so on the quote: putting them on a single carrier is normally cheaper than booking separate pickups.
How far is Manheim Birmingham from major cities?
Driving distances from this yard: Birmingham 9 mi (18 min), Tuscaloosa 66 mi (1 hr 23 min), Huntsville 94 mi (1 hr 51 min), Montgomery 103 mi (2 hr 4 min). Larger metros: Atlanta 147 mi (2 hr 49 min), Nashville 189 mi (3 hr 33 min), Memphis 237 mi (4 hr 31 min). Mileage is measured on the road network, not in a straight line, and the times shown are typical car drive times. A loaded carrier runs slower and works to a pickup window, so plan on 1-2 days of transit to those metros once a truck is dispatched.
