There is plenty of parking at the auction warehouse, which is right across the street from the Main Post Office. December 11, 1996 we opened Capital Auto Auction of Philadelphia. We now have three big auctions per week held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays due to the great response in Philadelphia. We are right off of Route 95 at Cottman Avenue. You can’t miss our sign!

My friend recommend me
My friend he had got many vehicles from here so I decided to take my chances. All his vehicles that he gotten from here was good, just regular Maintenace. On Sat. June 28, 2025 I bided on a SUV, I won the bid, this was my 1st time getting a vehicle from here, the information on the vehicle said running, dents, cold air conditioning, I took an Uber up there, I paid for my vehicle, the vehicle was a little over $2,000 the auction fees was $763.50 I paid over $3,000 for the vehicle here is the breakdown of the fees, Buy fee, Internet Fee, Fuel Surcharge, taxes, & Title When I drove off the vehicle it was overheating & the vehicle cut off on me on Roosevelt Blvd & Rising Sun. I pulled over & let it sit for 3 hours, I drove it Broad & Hunting Park it cut off again. I got it tooled to my house; I got it totaled to my mechanic on that Mon, June 30, 2025. It needed a thermostat, some sensors 5 of them, oil change, etc. He fixed everything & it rides good now. It still needs brakes etc. THE PROMBLEM I HAVE IS THEY NEVER SAID IN THE DESCRIPTION THAT IT OVER HEATS, Any used vehicle we take chances we don't know nothing about the vehicle until we start driving it.
