Cars & BidsReviews of carsandbids.com

I recently purchased my dream car! This was my first time participating in an auction, and the experience was super smooth from start to finish. Truly top-notch.

Cars&Bids followed up through every step which I appreciated.

I won an auction for a car that appeared clean and undamaged in the listing photos. When I had it inspected, I found leaks and significant damage around the car that had not been disclosed. These were not minor cosmetic flaws. The car appeared to have been hit in multiple places, with substantial damage the listing photos did not show. I tried to resolve this with Cars & Bids and offered to provide photos showing the car’s actual condition. They did not ask for the photos or compare them with the listing. Their response focused on the fact that the approximately $1,100 buyer’s fee they had collected was nonrefundable. They told me I should have inspected the car before bidding and threatened to suspend my account. I understand that buyers should do their due diligence, but I expected Cars & Bids to investigate a complaint about a materially misleading listing. I felt they had no interest in resolving the issue once they had collected their fee. Based on this experience, I would not use Cars & Bids again.

Purchasing was easy. Shipping thru carsandbids was the issue. Zero communication. Cameron N. will call you and that will be the last time you hear from them, until they show up unannounced and are annoyed that you aren't home. In my case, they set up the transport over the weekend, when the office is closed. So there was no one to communicate with. Major waste of my weekend waiting around for someone to contact me to update me and let me know what the plan is (other than the "ETA 9/27/2026" from the winners page at carsandbids). What makes it worse is the gaslighting and non-apology from carsandbids about everything that went wrong (that was 100% within their control). Your shipping team (office & field people) ruined this experience and dug the hole deeper by making excuses and trying to spin the narrative. zero for customer service. zero for communication. would not use again. In hindsight, I would have either picked it up myself or used a third party vendor.

Amazingly simple purchase process! Extremely fast delivery of car and documents!

Great easy to use all buyers are vetted out and works very efficiently

An honest Seller and a fair auction system.

You have to get vehicle approved first, once approved it takes some time to get everything ready. I opted in to pay for a photographer which the app helps with, I opted in for No Reserve which usually has higher attention, but there was constant communication, constant help with questions. My first buyer didnt work out and they contacted runner uppers. I super nervous in the beginning, but that only disappeared with every step. Awesome for enthusiasts buyers as well to find a cool car, there is not only cool expensive cars but there have been cheaper cars as well. For that reason I will more than likely be a buyer in the future as well.
