A: The title needs to be provided with the vehicle being sold. The face of the title must be printed with the owner’s name and the owner’s driver’s license must be provided.

10. When will I get my tag and title?

A: Your title is guaranteed to be issued within (30) thirty days, excluding weekends and National Holidays. If the title is not received by the auction by midnight of the 30th day, the customer has the option of returning the vehicle. The customer must give the auction a 24 hour notice before returning the vehicle. If the title is received within the 24 hours the title will be processed in the customer’s name. Once the auction receives the title it will be processed and submitted to the state. The state will then issue and mail a tag and title to the customer in their name at the address provided. The auction can only process Georgia residence titles with the state. Out of state customers will receive a phone call when the title is ready and will be responsible for picking up the title. DO NOT SELL OR SPEND MONEY ON A VEHICLE UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR TITLE. You will NOT be refunded money spent on the vehicle when you are refunded for no title. You will only be refunded the amount paid at the auction minus any convenience fee.

11. Is there a warranty or guarantee when I buy a car?

A: Most vehicles running through the auction are sold “AS IS”. These cars are indicated by a red light in our lighting system. Cars that are indicated by a green light are called “Drive” cars. If you purchase a car indicated by a green light, you have one hour to test drive the car. If there is a problem with the engine, transmission, or rear end and the repairs would cost in excess of $500.00, you may arbitrate the deal. Any car purchased for less than $2000.00 or is thirteen years or older, is automatically an “AS IS” vehicle.

13. Are all of the cars on your lot for sale?

14. Do you have a snack bar at your auction?

A: Our snack bar offers a wide variety of snacks and light menu items. Seating and tables are available for eating. Our snack bar is reputed as the “best snack bar around”. It’s just one more way we hope to make your experience with us enjoyable.
