Scam

Scam that don t even have the cars they list
B

Careful buying with this company

Careful buying with this company they will force you to use a shipping company that charge outragious prices even if the yard is local Then they will steal your deposit if you dont pay the shipping company to deliver the vehicle I ve bought from Copart for years and have always been able to go to the yard and pick up my vehicles The first time I use this flyby night company all the sudden you have to pay a shipping company 600 to deliver a vehicle 15 miles I am editing this to the SCA reply I OWN a licensed tow truck company This was stated to the shipping company you re forced to use as the vehicles are titled to them from what i was told There WILL BE NO FUTURE business between us Further more both the vehicles I bid on were IF BIDS I didn t even know I won them until days after I made multiple attempts to get and pay for these vehicles from yall but was not allowed unless I used your shipping company at 600 per vehicle I m sure yall get a kickback from them on each vehicle shipped I will stick to a trustworthy auction site like Copart and iaa enjoy my 1000 thieves

I ve been waiting a week for these

I ve been waiting a week for these people to come assess my car s damage from an accident which was not my fault Meanwhile I can t get any repairs started and I have to rent a car just to go to work These people are crooks

This site is untrustworthy

This site is untrustworthy I signed up for a membership and bought a car in buy it now Come to find out the car had already been purchased and shipped to its new owner 2 days earlier than I even signed up This happened because SCA is a third party and didn t update there sight correctly So I m out my money they charged until I get a refund This is not good business practices and I think buyers should beware especially when you can just buy from the legitimate sight without this third party middle man that I didn t realize I thought they were the auction

Find a Different Broker

Bought a car using SCA auctions The car came with a New York salvage certificate However when I tried the register the car the DMV ran a title search in the national title database and could not find any record of the salvage certificate This means the car cannot be registered in any state I went back to SCA and even provided the document from the DMV that stated the salvage certificate they provided was invalid SCA said it s not their problem So now have 48K car I paid for that is nothing more than an expensive paperweight because this company only cares about taking your money rather than helping its customers STAY AWAY Find a more reputable broker
