Joining one of our online car auctions is simple. Just set up a profile, browse our listings and place your bids. If you're the top bidder when the auction closes, the vehicle is yours.

Selling your used car or truck on your own can be time-consuming and frustrating. That's why we offer consignment services that help you get the best return without all the work. Tell us what kind of vehicle you want to sell, and we'll let you know if we can take it. If we do, we handle the advertising and auction process for you. All you have to do is sit back and watch the bids roll in.
How Soon Do I Need to Pick Up My Vehicle After Winning?
Once you win a vehicle at auction, you'll need to pick it up within two business days. This quick turnaround helps keep our inventory moving and ensures a smooth experience for all bidders. Be sure to plan ahead so you can meet the deadline or arrange transportation in advance. If you need additional time, contact us right away to see if accommodations can be made.
Can I Arrange Vehicle Transportation Through Capital Auto Auction?
Yes! If you can't pick up your vehicle in person, you have the option to schedule transportation through a third-party delivery service. While Capital Auto Auction doesn't directly transport vehicles, we can connect you with trusted transport companies that handle deliveries efficiently and reliably. This is especially helpful for out-of-state buyers or those purchasing multiple vehicles.
