How do I know which vehicle I am bidding on?

The vehicle with the bright orange cone on it.

What sort of payment do you accept?

Full payment is expected immediately following the auction, CASH, VISA and MASTERCARD.   Once the last vehicle is auctioned, begin forming a line and we will begin accepting payments.  Payment will be recorded and a receipt issued.  Move down in the line and present your receipt, then your paperwork will be processed and license plates issued (if applicable). As of Jan 1, 2004 we must remove all stickers from the plates, but it the tags were current, then new tags are only $10 plus the new registration fee at DMV.

I am nervous about participating in an oral auction, what sort of protocol am I expected to follow?

Keep your registered bidder number handy, you will be asked for it if you are the highest bidder on a vehicle.  Be mindful of your hand, head or other body motions.  You don’t want to be mistaken for placing a bid when you meant to just scratch your ear!  Pay attention and speak up if you are not being noticed.  Every attempt will be made to spot all interested bidders, but once the vehicle is announced “sold”, the final decision is left up to the auctioneer on whether all bidding ceases.  If you do not plan on staying for the entire auction, exit quietly, being considerate of those still participating in the auction. 

How long do I have to remove a vehicle I purchased?

Vehicles must be removed from our facility before 6pm on the day of the auction or they will be assessed a $25 storage fee per day (up to three days).  Vehicles not paid fore before 4:30pm on auction day will be assessed a $25 late fee.  Vehicles must be removed from our premises.  You cannot just move it outside the fence to pickup at your convenience.  After 72 hours, all sold vehicles left on our premises will be disposed of (no refunds).

Can I work on a vehicle in your yard after purchasing it so that I can drive it away?

Working on vehicles in our yard is strictly prohibited.  You are limited to changing a tire for purposes of transporting or driving the vehicle.  Prolonged attempts to get a vehicle running in order to drive it away are not to be done on our property.  For insurance purposes, the work must be done on your property!  There is no use our tools, so don’t even ask.

 What if I can’t remove the vehicle?

We will be happy to tow the vehicle.  Please see the main office and they will arrange for the vehicle to be towed at specified discounted rate.

I lost the lien paperwork you gave me, what do I do now?

There is a $40 fee for processing a request for duplicate paperwork.  You must provide the MAKE, MODEL, YR, PLATE and DATE of the auction.  If you do not have the correct date, an additional $10 will be charged for every month we have to “search” for your vehicle.  Duplicate paperwork is just what it means, DUPLICATE.  We will not remake paperwork to any individual other than the one noted in our records.  Requests for duplicate paperwork are usually fulfilled within seven (7) days.  PAYMENT must be made in advance.  If additional “searching” is needed because of incorrect information provided, you can pay those fees at the time of pickup.
