Carriage Trade Public Auto Auction

Been buying from here for years. Buying and then sellimg forward. Great place to just have a side thing.

Bought a car a week before. Decided to get my son a car... We won the car and 10 miles down the road the motor blew. The auction is a place where people... come to sell cars with blown head gaskets a nd problematic cars they didn't want to sell on their lot

I've been buying cars from carriage trade over 3 years now...it's a fun place to go and also a good place to buy a vehicle if you wanna get a good deal...but... as a buyer it's your reponsability and a MUST to come early at auction day and do your homework and check out all vehicles that you are interested in..I always come 4 hours before action starts that gives me enough time to identified problems in any vehicles iam interested in so I won't make a mistake and can be happy with my buy...I will continue to do bussiness here as always...

I "USED" to be a fan of this place but after my last experience I have changed my mind. I have been a customer here from out of state for years as well... as my family which has come as far away as California to buy cars here. My family and friends including myself have bought several cars here and I used to tell everyone looking for a car about this place. My last visit however changed my opinion. We were looking for a car for our son to take to college. This was his first visit and experience and during the auction he bid on a car and didn't realize he was highest bidder because he didn't hear them call out his number. After a little while we found a car he liked and he won the auction. We immediately went to the window to pay (which we would have done the first time had we realized he was top bidder) and they told us we had two cars and sent us inside to a supervisor. He was immediately rude and short with us and I was trying to explain that I didn't know what the other car was and he would even let us see the information about the other car and just kept rudely telling us we had to buy both cars and as I "tried" to explain what may have happened and that I may not have enough cash for both cars and without even trying to work anything out with us or listen they immediately kicked us out. I know the rules but I have seen people in that place that bid on the wrong cars and make mistakes and they worked with them and didn't act rudely and kick them out. This was an honest oversight and instead of trying to work with us and keep business and make a sale, they were rude and kicked us out. I was appalled after my family and I have been doing business there for years and highly recommending this place to people. They would rather lose a sale than practice good customer service. We always use to speak very highly of them but after the way we were treated, my family and I no longer feel the same.

This "dealer" "auction house" "broker" are a joke to deal with. Worst than a Casino fees pop out of the air. It seems everyone ones a cut. But the worst... part is that the car aren't even as good as they dream they are. Don't waste your time.
