Luci Garcia, Tampa United States
Hands down the best marketplace for salvage cars I’ve used so far. This site is easy to use, the bidding process is incredibly simple and it's so exciting to be a part of a live auction, there’s nothing quite like it. I’ve now bought 4 cars with you and I’m really satisfied with everything, especially the customer service, they’re so easy to work with and answered all my questions.
