Better use of time and money elsewhere

After dealing with so many bugs in their system that didn't allow me to put in bids I was finally able to buy 2 vehicles the first I ended up paying 100 extra in storage fees because they didn't get back to me for 3 days that the wire transfer had gone through. Then they tried to charge me 295 for shipping and gave me a whole run around when I told them I found outside shipping. Over the coarse of a week I must have made 30-40 calls tying to deal with all the issues from them. Never work with them again, better to just go to a local iaa auction

Dear Kelly Wheeler, our team is sorry to learn that you had a negative experience. We understand how disappointing that was. We are constantly working on improving our customer service. Thank you for taking a point to a technical mistake with the email confirmation of the payment receive. The IT team adjusted the issue. The delivery cost was added as an offer to help the clients with the vehicle towing as the auction yard require the licensed and insured shipping company to pick up the vehicle.

I've purchased a total of three cars…

I've purchased a total of three cars under this company's auctions. Two of the purchases went off with no issues. However, one of the purchases had a Vin that didn't match the title. When I contacted accounting to report the issue and seek help, they pretty much blew me off as thou it was my problem and wouldn't help me. Lesson learned; check the vehicle against the title they provide at time of pick-up. The other issue with this company is how long many of the cars sit on the auction site without ever coming to an actual auction date.

SCA is a SCAM

SCA is a SCAM! You will lose every bid you make. After you ask for your refund they will claim you have won a car! Now here comes the undisclosed SHIPPING fees! Hundreds of dollars later they keep your deposit! Beware! If you’re looking for a cheap car look elsewhere! Customer service is no help either!

Thank you for the review. We are sorry that you are not happy with your purchase. The vehicle was purchased through the Buy now option. We have double checked your account and found out that you bid $25 on the vehicles. Unfortunately you were outbid. But you used the Buy now option to get 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID and it was awarded to you without the auction. The delivery was offered to make it easy for the clients and avoid searching for the transporter. Because according to the auction rules the vehicle should be picked up by the licensed insured carrier. We fulfilled our obligations and provided you the access to the closed on-line auto auction where you purchased the vehicle. For some reason you are not happy with the purchase and it is OK to cancel the purchase. In this case according to the terms and conditions the cancellation fee of $2000 should be paid. The deposit will be refunded in full when the vehicle is paid in full and picked up or the cancellation fee is paid. Otherwise according to the terms and conditions it will be used to cover part of the due. All the process and fees are disclosed in the terms and conditions and FAQs. We are happy doing business with you. We would like to solve the issue and assist you to buy the vehicle which will satisfy you in future.

From A to Z, excellence

Purchased a salvage truck here, and everything was explained clearly, from the conditions to the paperwork. Delivery was handled fast, and it worked well with the requirement for a licensed company to pick it up. Overall very nice.

Questionable Business Practices

This company does a bait and switch on customers. Their business practices are misleading. Their reps will focus on your winning a bid and conveniently forget to mention all the sales tax and fees associated with the bid. If you want your money back on the same day, within hours of a call, forget about it. It's like pulling teeth from a shark. They are not customer friendly at all. They're more akin to snake oil salesmen.

Dear BessieR,

To purchase a vehicle, you used the services of the broker company SCA Auctions. On the page of each vwhicle there is a link to a calculator where you can see the final amount of the entire purchase with all auction and broker fees depending on your bid amount. Moreover, all the fees are described in our terms and on FAQ page as well.

Reliable car auction

Getting a car from this auction went pretty smoothly. Everything was clear and straightforward, and the people there were helpful. Good inventory, and if you are attentive and persistent enought good deals are all around.

Five stars all day

Their website has all of the information you need, and the calculator makes it even easier to figure out the payment. I had a couple of questions so I decided to reach to their support team and they did not make me wait. They answered each question in detail and I felt confident in my purchase.

Amazing expeirence

I was skeptical about buying a car online, but SCA made the process incredibly smooth. I was especially pleased with their customer service—questions answered, no hassle. The car was exactly as listed, and that really sealed the deal for me.

Marvelous experience

I am surprised, but using them for buying salvage cars has been convenient. The website is well-organized and provides comprehensive information about the vehicles. The description of the Subaru and Mustang I got was exact, I got both cars in the condition I expected.

I would have put MINUS star. Misleading

I would have put MINUS star, but there is no option for that, SCA is NOT to be trusted with anything they say on their site.
1. They listed a vehicle that is Starts & Drives, when i received the vehicle WON'T even start.
2. Their site say that you have 2 to 5 buisness days to pick up the car and they started chargin me after 2days for storage fee.

I did my research prior to bidding on a boat I wanted and got exactly what I was expecting for the best price. It was fast and easy. Great online auction marketplace.

After winning the bid the nightmare begins.

After winning the bid, they’ll tell you two possibly three weeks to receive title, it took six weeks to get mine then they didn’t sign it, had to fed ex it back to Florida and wait another week and a half. By far the worst auction company I have ever dealt with, I wouldn’t ever do business with them again.
