The staff are great the auction is pretty cool but I recommend going in during the day because cars can be purchased any day of the week from 9am-4, and negotiation on price is an option. The auctions are only on specific days and they start at 7pm it’s a hit or miss. Your basically testing your luck because a lot of people go on the auction day. My boyfriend and I have bought two cars. Definitely recommend going here.

Got my first car here and I absolutely love it :)I only had to change the brakes and tires.

Great experience. I have bought many wonderful cars from there over the past several years for family and friends. Juan is the best.

Bad communication they list cars on Face Book and Offer Up but wont answer questions on back fees, questions on if the car is still there, questions on clean titles, so if you buy it you own it, and if it has thousands in back fees, if you buy it you have to pay it also! be very carful here, make them put any statements in writing, and Carfax anything you want to buy to protect yourself!

It was my first time at a car auction and I cant emphasize enough BUY CAREFULLY! Run a vin report!!!!! Never assume mileage displayed is real milage. I found that out the hard way. The prices are high, no smog at time of sale and its buyer responsibility to do all DMV paperwork. Unfortunately, registering at AAA is not allowed only at DMV. Nice people but wont be back.

Nice cars and prices. You just have to find whats right for you within your budget 👍🏾👍🏾

Although they had sold the car I came for they still had lots of other cars to choose from

I saw a car online that was posted late last night or early this morning and wanted to see the car. Their work hours are listed from 7 p.m. to midnight on Fridays.I attempt to call the number on the page and you get forwarded to a machine, I texted via the chat only to get a generic response from a bot. I decide to wait for the auction and about 30 minutes before 7, the car is sold? How is anyone able to buy the car if you are supposedly closed and no one picks up the phone?

Last Friday I was trying to get a car here and i bid on one of the cars and got it for a price. when I went to pay they tried to raise the price of the viechle once I got to the window also they have people working for them by raising the bid over and over ( unless those 5 guys were going to purchase 5 cars the same night which is hard to believe) and finally the cashier was being rude by having a attitude and telling me either you buy it or leave it...overall poor costumer service and I wouldnt recommend this place at all.... please be aware that they have people working for them by raising the bid over and over SO DONT BE FOOLED.......

I was uncertain to come into this place because of the reviews but I gave it a shot as my friend experience was great. I came in and I was greeted well and from beginning to end customer service was amazing..... I was still not convinced and started asking every question in the book and all questions were answered. I bought my car and I couldnt be happier !!! I took it to get checked out and everything checked out great! I will be going back in 3 months to get a car for my nephew. Thank You guys !

Nothing good on this place prices same as a dealer

This place is a mess. They do odometer rollback. They don’t let you inspect the cars before auction. Will never buy from here again.

Bought a 2006 chevy malibu and it drove well, until I got home and parked it... It wont turn on anymore because of auto theft security turned on after I just parked it. Recommend for getting cheap cars but be prepared to fix it. Bad experience for my first car....Edit: I have fixed the car and it was really badly taken care of by the last owner had to flush out the oil with gunk, change the alarm (cuz they didnt give me the alarm control just the key)the alternator and spark plugs thanx to jiffy lube it runs smooth but I spent another $1,000 fixing it. Car was $1,575 Im happy with the car.So in total I spent $2,575.Actually this public auction isnt bad I have already recommended it to some dealers and family they loved my car Ill be coming here in the future if I need another car👌👌👌👌😎.‼️‼️PLEASE CHECK OUT WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE CARS BEFORE YOU BUY THEM SO YOU DONT GO THROUGH WHAT I WENT THROUGH👌ALWAYS HAVE A BUDGET IN MIND AND DONT GO PAST THAT BUDGET‼️‼️ you will need the extra money to fix the car you buy.P.S. not a fake reviewer👌and do check the cars in the morning at 9:00 am you can bring mechanic,scanner, and test drive the cars. Dont be lazy. The auctions starts at 7:00pmAt 9:00am you can check themAt 7:00pm you bid.

Good car at a. Heap bet

Bought a car over 3 months ago they told me the registration could be picked up in 2 weeks haven’t been able to get in contact with them and have no papers for the car I worry the car will be taken because I have nothing saying it belongs to me

Be aware! Read the reviews! They sold us a damaged car, it barely made it out the gate before it cut off. They didn’t want to help and fix the problem. They closed the gate and told us to buy a new transmission. We had to push and park the car around the corner from the place. Do not waste your money here. They’re very unprofessional and scam artists.

I LIKE IT HERE THE VIBE IS NICE AND EVEN THO I WALK AWAY EMPTY HANDED IM HAPPY I WAS THEIR BECAUSE EVERYONE IS SO COOL AND CHILL!

Personally, ive gone to other auctions such as the one in manchester where i recieved a car which had transmission problems i then went to cali auction expecting the same but got a completely different experience they helped me throughout the whole process and they sold me a car at a great price with no problems what so ever i definitely recommend

Very freindly quck sale stricked

Attended for my first time- environment was good, good energy and friendly and professional staff. However, the process is bad. On auction days Tues/Fri you can walk the lot from 7-745 to see the cars, auction starts at 745. Their idea of inspecting/seeing the cars means look at them from exterior, not allowed to open doors to see inside of car, let alone turn car on, get VIN # etc- NADA. You literally get to see car only from exterior while shut off. When auction starts it is unfortunately EXTREMELY OBVIOUS that they have paid people bidding on their own cars in order to keep prices higher. Some cars looked great though and prices on some of those cars were decent, but it is FRAUDULENT. They drive the car up to crowd, person on loud speaker gives year, make and model and whether clean title or salvage. I stay away from salvage titles at all costs. I placed a bid on a car and won. I paid the car in full and continued involved w bids rather than calling it a night. When I went to get the paperwork and my car @ end of night, I was suddenly told it was a SALVAGE title even though it was announced as a clean title (I assumed, OK, maybe it was a human error), I was disappointed and worried though but had to take it. However, the worst part is that aside of being misled and not be told it was a salvage title I CarFaxd it and the miles have been rolled back from 186k to 115k. FRAUD. Its unfortunate that businesses like these take advantage of people who really mean well and need a car. The country is already so messed up economically with people out of work, broke. To have companies cheat you this way is disappointing. The auction happens at night time, lighting is poor and you have approximately 30 seconds to bid and decide on a car. The next day at home I inspected the car in the light and not only did they change the mileage, they paint the cars Mickey Mouse style even over stickers/decals and wherever the car has bumpy paint damage/cracks they put bumper stickers all over the car. Their system is made specifically to mislead buyers: checking a car in the dark and bidding all under 30seconds doesnt work. You basically have time to confirm the fake mileage & if an engine light is on, otherwise forget about looking at interior, truly listening to engine/trans or exterior bcus their fake bidders jump on it immediately to pressure others. The car I bought has fake mileage (lol and they list it on their receipts true mileage unknown) for that reason specifically - they are CHANGING IT, cracked windshield and 9 stickers throughout front/back bumpers to cover cracks and damage on body. I even found the sticker backs inside the car. Condition of cars is bad and mileage is FAKE. Ive taken the step to report them to the FBI for fraud because obviously rolling mileage back is a huge crime + basing prices off fake, low mileage is a scam and a horrible way to take advantage of people. I will also start a Class Action as I have connected with more than several people who had e same experience happen to them. Announcing a car is a clean title (when its salvage), and selling it as low miles illegaly rolled back... FRAUD. I have recording of the event and there is just no excuse for this behavior. People do not deserve to be scammed, specially right now.No compren en esta subasta, le cambian las millas a los carros ilegalmente. Anuncian que unos carros son titulo limpio cuando en verdad es SALVAGE. Tienen gente contratada para que apuesten alto y suban los precios de carros contra clientes verdaderos. La inspection por dentro de el carro, carro prendido, millas, funciones etc es de 10-30 segundos... el lugar es fraude.

These auctioneers are funny characters...they make this a fun experience!

This place was awesome I got the car I freaking wanted at a good price... I got my car checked out and everything is good.... dope place.

One of the best auctions in LA, really affordable i got one of my first cars here

This is my second van from them. They give good deals and they make you feel welcome. Talk to them and they talk back. I would definitely recommend them to friends, family, and strangers. Ask for Juan.

They did not have what they advertised hate and switch

Thanks for the help Maria. I am very happy with my truck.

This was a waste of time. They advertised on Facebook that they had three newer trucks for auction. For each one of the trucks, they said they were available and put a link to their auction. 5 hours of driving later, they didnt have any of the trucks they advertised. Plus their auction was held at night in a very rough area of LA. Save yourself the drive.

Had a great experience buying my first used car here. The staff is really nice and I loved the fact that I was able to give 300 down and came back the next day to pay it off. Will definitely do it again

Get good car bargains

The auction be sketchy but I copped a whip

Nice cars and good prices

I was kind scared to go check them out after reading the reviews but it’s an auto auction so don’t expect to be treated like a royalty,they offer fair prices,newer cars there is also some oldies there. the best part of this place is they will give you the title right away.even the plates with the current tags if the registration is currently on forced so you don’t have to worry about getting pulled over when you drive the car of their propertyI bought two cars here on Saturday and they both runs great. Give them a try if you looking for a cheap ride or a fast way to make some cash.

Get a carfax! Get a carfax! Get a carfax! Things sound to good to be true? It probably is. There are great cars to be found, but know exactly what you’re getting before you buy. Verify the mileage. I learned my lesson. Don’t learn the hard way

Good place to buy cars you could test drive the cars in the mornings and if you like em you could buy it there and then good cars and good price definitely coming back thank you juan for your help

I reccomend this car auction 100 % good cars super low prices. COME OUT AND TAKE A LOOK FOR YOUR SELFS YOU WILL LEAVE HAPPY FROM HERE I BUY HERE ALL THE TIME WHEN I NEED A CAR 👍👍👍👍

So far so good Im pleased with my purchase

Good place to buy a car at a better than reasonable prices. Juan was really helpful and new information on all the vehicles.

No warranty, all cars as is. Some cars from out if state so DMV fees are higher, which your stuck with

I agree with other reviewers that this place is a scam and they seem to hire people to bet against you to raise the price. I’ve been there 4 times and many, many, many cars that were supposedly sold the day before are one sale again the next time. Same guy always shows up and bets and supposedly ‘buys’ most of those cars. But they never make him pay a deposit to hold them (like they do for real buyers) and then the next week, the cars he bought are still right there on the lot! It is a scam to raise the buying price.They also kept telling us that one car they advertised would be ready on Tuesday (they were just waiting for paperwork) ... and then Tuesday they said it’ll be ready on Friday ... and then on Friday they said it would be ready on Saturday. They are also unprofessional and ALWAYS start the auction late. One time, it started 45 mins later than advertised. No manners and no professionalism. These suspicious 5 star reviews with no comments under them are definitely from their family and friends! 🙄🙄

Read the reviews, people! This place is a total scam. We bid on a chevy. We stayed until the end to pay and get the pink slip they then told us that they didnt have the pink. We said its okay, well wait for it to come in. Then someone else told us that it wouldnt be possible because of the paperwork with the dmv... WHAT?! we were going to drive off with it for $700. I guess theyre people didnt keep bidding and we got it real low. Once they realised it, they didnt want to let it go so cheap. A lot of the other cars that were sold at the time of auction were still there for next auction. They told us because they tried to make us buy one of those other cars. Not auction price at all!! They have people from the inside bid on their cars so they wont go so cheap.BEWARE OF THIS PLACE!!!Edit: There is no reason for me to be lying. I am a legit person. My husband and i went there about 3months ago. He asked me to write a review about our horrible experience but never did; until recently, that i stumbled upon your post on OfferUp. The reason why i am writing this is so that other people can be aware! But hey, karma!(;

Good

Scams all those people standing there just betting but not buying they do that so they can raise the prices for the cars you don’t believe it go ahead and prove it to your self.! There’s always one guy let’s say you interested in buying the car well that guy will fight until it’s a good price and guess who ended up paying that high price or second story is let’s say no one bet anymore legitimate the guy announcing the final price always comes to you and give you a yellow papers well guess what they don’t do that with their own people just us customers.!!

It was nothing like I was expecting after reading the reviews. I bought a vehicle for myself and I like it! I already registered it and it was easy. I would recommend this place.

They worked with me and i was able to get a really good car for a. Great price id recomend this place to all my friends and family,

Owner is super rude and unprofessional if ya dont believe it just read the responses from the owner on the reviews . Disgusting would not recommend unless you want to be disrespected . Also they hire people to bet against you. I was one of the hired betters...

We have been to this auction a few times and have bought 4cars. 2 hondas and Audi and a newer BMW. One of the hondas needed some work but the others ran good. We will definitely be back. I have read some bad reviews but honestly if you want a car thats 100% perfect you should go to a dealer.

Best Place to get a vehicle at your price range..a auction is a gamble..you win some and loose some..the key is to know how to buy..

I love Cali auction the best

Good despite having no parking

Cool Place

Needed a car ASAP and found a good car to take me to and back from home to work

I just gave them one star because they say you “can check” the cars but is a lie.They don’t let you open the dooors to check the interior.

Its close to Alameda Strip bar. 👽

Great cars and good prices I got my first car here

Was at auction 2 weeks ago. Great service thank you!

Nice staff. And good cars!!

That place is full of cars that others have for sale and have people betting against you so you can go up and give the money that they are selling the car cars they don’t sell, they reselling next day sometimes there are up to six people betting on a car, I think they are paid to do that, they do not allow video or photos is a scam don’t waste your money there, thePositive reviews I don’t know maybe family friends or they get lucky, you never know.

Great deals I enjoy my car

Sold me bad PT cruiser the head gasket was bad they filled it up with head gasket sealer sold me the car in bad condition, 1st time going and my last . Check out the car before buying it.

Very good

I recommend the Cali auction. I bought a car here. They were very kind to us, the prices of the cars are low. Thanks for your help. We will be back next week.

As an auction it leaves much to be desired. Has its own people betting to raise prices

Hasi many people come to buy

Very well

To be an auction they are too expensive and the cars with too many miles

Very good!

A good place very friendlyAnd very cheap pricesApart from the service and the super rich food

Thank you for your kindness and for explaining the rules so well in English and Spanish. It was the first auction that I have gone and be sure that I will return with my family.They tell you to check the car well! And until you can bring your mechanic! Thank you very much my daughter is super happy with her car!

The truth is a terrible experience here only people get their money down. We know if they are used cars but not that they are definitely damaged. I grabbed a car that only lasted 3 days and I throne the transmission. of the need of the poor people

Well friends and friends. I personally bought a car in this place and I recommend you not to buy it, why? Well for a simple reason it has 9 codes on. When I bought it I did not have a single one but the next day they all appeared, the transmission does not work, the power steering does not work, the chain of time, the windows do not go up, the a / c does not work, it does not have tires of 600 dollars of plates. continue but why. I do not recommend buying at auctions as these do not let you get inside the car because you would know all the defects of the car. buy calmly and with real car owners.

Always a pleasure to buy cars here

From Avilas towing you will have a fast and cheap service.

Excellent place
