Exceptional assistance from the team in purchasing my car

The team provided excellent support in my car purchase, which I found advertised elsewhere. One representative went above and beyond to assist with the paperwork, while another was outstanding in arranging videos and transportation.

Frustrating experience with the auction service

I had my vehicle listed for a while but it didn't sell. I received several emails and calls from a representative trying to convince me to auction my car. After some consideration, I agreed and opted for a reserve price, paying the fees. I delivered the car and shortly after, I was informed that the representative was new and suggested lowering the reserve price. I was assured I could reach out with any questions, but my attempts to contact the previous representatives went unanswered. The day before the auction, another representative suggested removing the reserve to facilitate the sale. I agreed, and the car sold, but I received no call to confirm the sale. When I contacted the office, I learned the sale price but was surprised to find I received £300 less than expected. In total, the service took £600 for selling my car. This experience was highly disappointing, and I would not recommend them. I gave 1 star for the office staff member.

Unreliable service and poor communication

They assured me my car would be placed in their auction. However, after I paid the fee for placement, they stopped all communication. My car was never promoted at this so-called auction. I received no responses to my calls, emails, or texts regarding the situation. This feels like a complete scam! I highly recommend avoiding this service. I've learned that this auction has a reputation for questionable practices in the industry.

Exceptional Experience with the Auction House

I have worked with this auction house for years as both a buyer and seller, primarily dealing with high-end vehicles, and I can confidently say they excel in marketing your car. Their expertise is top-notch, and I’ve even developed a friendship with the Managing Director, which is rare in the auction industry. Unlike some other services where you feel like just another number, their approach is refreshingly straightforward and transparent. They genuinely aim to achieve the best results, as long as you maintain realistic expectations based on the current market. If you seek global exposure for your vehicle and a dedicated team focused on delivering a strong outcome, this is the team to rely on. It's unfortunate that some sellers misplace blame on auction houses when their unrealistic expectations aren't met, but the truth is that auction fees are directly linked to the seller's success. It's always in the auctioneer's interest to maximize your returns, whether it’s this auction house or others. Being located in the North, I consistently choose this auction house. In my view, they are the leading force in this region.

Avoid this auction service at all costs

I strongly advise against using this auction service. They demand a hefty fee for listing, but show no concern afterward. I submitted my luxury vehicle two weeks prior to the auction, and just two days before, I had a potential buyer. I reached out to a representative who told me to have the buyer register for the auction. However, the buyer later informed me that my car was not listed. I tried contacting the representative multiple times without success. I even left messages for a supervisor, but no one bothered to respond. After a long wait, I finally heard back, only to be told that my vehicle wasn’t sold and I could retrieve it. The lack of communication and professionalism is incredibly frustrating, especially given the value of my car. I am thoroughly disappointed with their service.

Avoid this auction service at all costs...

Avoid this auction service as they are untrustworthy and only interested in collecting fees. I dropped off my luxury vehicle two weeks before the auction. Just two days before the event, I had a potential buyer, but when I contacted the representative, I was told to have them register for the auction. Afterward, the buyer informed me that my vehicle wasn’t listed. I tried reaching out multiple times, but the representative didn’t respond, and even his office couldn’t provide any assistance. After waiting, I finally heard back, only to be told I could retrieve my car because it hadn't been sold. The lack of communication and service was completely unacceptable.

No V5 documents received after vehicle purchase

I successfully won the auction and collected my vehicle but was given inadequate paperwork. Upon reviewing the documents at home, I discovered the V5 was missing. After several calls, I learned that it’s the company’s policy to send the V5 directly to the registration authority without informing the buyer. This leaves me unable to register or tax the vehicle, rendering it useless. I have concerns about what would happen if the vehicle was bought for someone else. Additionally, I received no proof of ownership. I am very dissatisfied with this auction house and believe they should cover my transportation costs due to their flawed procedures.

Don't waste your time with this service...

Don't waste your time with this service. Sharing your details results in constant spam via texts and calls! They attempt to sell your car through questionable methods rather than just auctioning it. I only made an inquiry about selling my spouse's vehicle, and now I’m inundated with spam messages. This negative feedback stems from my experience with their relentless communication. If they wish to avoid poor reviews, they should stop spamming potential clients and selling their information to third parties.
