About the Auction
Car auctions held every Wednesday and Friday at 6pm.
WEEKLY SALES We hold two sales every week ,
commencing at 6pm on Wednesday and Friday evenings
OFFICE HOURS Our office is open every weekday
from 9am to 5pm. On sale days the office is of course open until
the end of the sale (at least 9pm - usually later). We are also
open on Saturday mornings from 9am to 1pm.
CONTENT OF SALES Both of our regular weekly
sales are normally "general sales". This means all types of
vehicles may be entered and sold and there is no minimum reserve
value. Typically, each sale will include vehicles of all ages
entered by private individuals, car dealerships, car traders and
possibly finance companies.
As well as cars, most sales will include both 4X4 and commercial
vehicles as well as caravans, motorhomes and other items on offer
.
BUYERS FEES An indemnity fee is charged on the
purchase of each vehicle. This covers the purchaser for a period of
three months against the vehicle being an undeclared total loss
(i.e. written off by an insurance company due to accident damage),
