Useful Auto Auction Information:

  • Our auctions are run by professional auctioneers. This assures independence of bidding and provides for a smooth and efficient auction.
  • Though there is no guarantee of the drivability of any of the vehicles, many of the vehicles sold are driven home from the auction.
  • There is ample previewing time to evaluate a vehicle before bidding begins. It is advisable to do a thorough inspection, including items under the hood. Examining the vehicles fluids can often give clues relating to the condition of the vehicle's drive-train.
  • We mark "key" on vehicles that had a key at the time of impoundment. Most of these vehicles will have a key with the paperwork. This is often a good indicator that the vehicle was being driven just prior to impoundment by a police agency.

How our auction works

  • Every month dozens of vehicles are abandoned by their registered owners. We process these vehicles for a lien sale unique to Washington State Registered Tow Truck Operators -- the Abandoned Vehicle Report (AVR) process.
  • An AVR is a legal document utilized for retitling of abandoned vehicles.
  • These auctions are advertised in advance are are open to the public.
  • All scheduled vehicles are sold to the highest bidder (there is no minumum bid amount).
  • A backup bidder is identified to document the validity of the bid, but the backup bidder has no obligattion to make a purchase.
  • Vehicles are to be paid for and removed from the auction yard the day of the auction.
