Purchasing vehicles at auction
Our Test-Drive Process
We don't offer buyer test drives before the sale, but every vehicle is road-tested by our team to confirm it runs and drives as expected.
You're welcome to visit our lot — with or without your own mechanic — the day before or the day of the sale to inspect any vehicle.
Here's what we do and don't check during our road test.
- Engine
- Transmission
- Drivetrain
- Steering
- Brakes
- Cosmetic imperfections
- Fluid leaks
- Features & accessories
- Lights & electronics
