Dealer and auction moves

Lot to lot, auction to buyer, with the paperwork right

We move cars for independent dealers, private buyers and sellers who bought or sold at auction. One car or a few a week, on a schedule you can plan around.

Pickups

From an auction yard, another dealer, a trade-in at the customer's home or a car you bought online from the mainland. We bring the release paperwork and check the VIN on the car against it before it moves.

If the yard has a pickup cut-off, give us the time and we plan the day around it.

Deliveries

To your lot, to the detailer, or straight to a buyer's driveway. The car comes off the deck clean of strap marks, and we wait while the buyer looks it over if you want us to.

We can take a signed delivery note back to you the same day.

Paperwork and keys

What happens at every handover

The same five steps at pickup and drop-off, so nothing depends on who was driving that day.

Handover checklistPickup and drop-off
  1. Release or work orderWe carry the auction release, bill of sale or your work order and name it on our job sheet.
  2. VIN checkThe VIN on the dash is read against the paper before the car goes on the deck.
