Questions and Answers

Who can bid on the vehicles?

Anyone that has an online account with Great USA Auctions.  You can sign up below and once your account is approved, you can submit bids.

How long does it take to get an account approved?

Normal account approval time is within 24 hours.

If I win the auction, can I drive the salvage vehicle back to my shop/home?

No.  Once a vehicle is deemed a total loss by an insurance company, they cannot be legally driven, even if they are drivable.  The will need to be towed to their destination.

How do I pay for the vehicle?

Once the auction has closed, you will first need to pay Great USA Auction's fee.  Once this is paid the seller’s information will be provided to you and you will submit a cashier’s check directly to the insurance company and make arrangements to pick up the vehicle.  When picking up the vehicle you will be responsible to pay any storage fees to the pickup location if they apply. We have done our best to estimate the storage fees.  Our goal is your winning bid will inclusive of costs, but since storage fees can accrue it might be higher at the time of pickup.

Where are the vehicles located?

The vehicle could be at a storage lot, a garage or even the former owner’s home.
