AUCTION LIQUIDATORS in
Riverside Grove (CA)

Don’t come here. They have multiple people who will bid up and work for them. 3 people that I know of work here(I’m sure there’s more) and are at every auction buying cars yet they never go up to make the deposit and you’ll see the same cars here for months. Tall older man with goatee, older Mexican man with a Santa white beard, short big red head girl. When I came at 12pm today I saw both of them inside detailing cars and under the hood working on them. Yet real customers can’t go into inspection till 1 and NO OPENING HOODS.

Purchase a car from my daughter Very ugly experience I saw it on tik Tok I thought it was all nice smooth come to check it out and purchase a car It was the worst experience ever ended up spending my daughter savings money We purchase up broken car with a bad transmission Yes it drives but when it gets hot it stops driving very slow I was trying to get my refund back the same day they told me no because I didn't purchase a warranty 1 hour later after I made a purchase very wrong Come to find out they didn't have the title in hand the day of the purchase So I purchase a car got a tow truck spend about $300 pay another $4,000 for the car And I still don't have a title People stay away don't spend your money these public auctions they will take your money don't fall just like we did with my daughter's horny by the way we ended up junking that car $400.00

I'm glad I red the reviews, most people unsatisfied not a good sign, I saw the add on phase book and wanted to go there tomorrow but now I don't feel like going there and risk my money, very bad reviews, sorry but too many bad reviews

Do not get the warranty or a car from them. The car sounded great as it idol. But once you drove it you could hear the problems. Try to return it the next day but did not recover my money. So, had to take a car that is going to die soon. BUYER BE WHERE. NO RETURNS

Hello, Where’s your website, and what are the rules? Do I need a membership or some kind of bidders certificate, or are you open to the public. What kind of payments do you accept? How can I see your inventory? Thanks! 🙏

This auction place is awesome. I highly recommend it. Don't let the bad reviews fool you. It's just people that are having buyer's remorse. It sucks when people do things like that and ruin a credible place. I guess you could say to each his own, but take the bad reviews with a grain of salt. Go check this place out for yourself because you just might get a great car for a cheap price.

⚠️ Warning to anyone thinking of buying from this auction: I paid Riverside Auction Liquidators in full for a car, and they completely betrayed my trust. They told me that if I didn’t pay right away, I would be trespassed and lose my chance to get the vehicle. Once I paid, they refused to let me take the car home and kept delaying with excuses — saying the manager was sick and to come back another day. When I followed up, I found out they had run the same car through the auction again and sold it to someone else even though I had already paid for it. They lied and claimed “the bank took it,” but I have pictures and proof from the auction showing the car was still in their possession. I was left with no car and no refund. This experience was devastating and dishonest. No one should be treated this way or pressured to pay under threats and then lose what they paid for. If you value your money and peace of mind, stay far away from this place. I am filing a police report and complaints with the DMV and Attorney General because this is not just bad business — it’s fraud.

This company on line bidding sucks. Them holding fees are to take your money, seem like you only bidding against workers. Customer service over the phone is trash as hell. Also don't none of the bids start at 500 they lied. And everyday ima leave a bad Reveiw cause they suck.

I have been to this auction and its a big scam 20$ start a bidding with them an additional 400$ for deposit and on top of that your competitors are workers who like to up the prices..by thousands ...good luck not coming back.

these people are frauds and you should not buy from them they Intentionally give you bad cars try to force warranties on bad vehicles and than say u should have bought warranty when they brake knowing vehicle was bad originally . they are honest to God horrible people.

Good people. Great atmosphere. Great opportunity to get a good car at a great price.

9/20/2025 This place is garbage, they are thieves who abuse people charging $400 dollars only the charge of the place plus $400 if you want the guarantee of the purchase, they do not let you check the vehicle without paying it completely claiming that you can only see it while it is at auction, they do not give you time for anything. It is not good to buy a vehicle with closed eyes just because it is the politics of the place, if you sell good cars why so much mystery in sales, it is only pure propaganda and pure garbage what they sell. They will keep the $400 alleging is not refundable. So I left the place with no car and losing my money. Please don’t come here my people

BEWARE!!! This are mostly consignment cars. Meaning they charge the owners of the cars to sell them for them. Most of the times you are bidding against the owners of the cars, this is easy to spot since those bidders never get close to the car to see mileage or any trouble light on dash. Also, since there is no accountability, it is your responsibility if you decide to go to any public action to check registration and true mileage. I suggest you purchase an Autochek report pack is cheaper than carfax specially if your looking to spend several thousands on a car. The prices here are lower because the risks are higher. Please be cautious. If you never been to a public auction i suggest you go one day and just watch, ask about the buyer's fee, almost all the cars are sold AS-IS. I can't stress enough bring someone with you that is mechanically inclined, and for God's sake don't just buy with your eyes. If these cars were in great condition worthy of being sold retail they would not be here. Ask about the title being present. A ton of these cars come from dealer auctions such as Adesa and Manheim. Do your Due diligence~

So I bought a car here and it runs very well, over 800 miles in now and no problems. When I got it they told me it had a CEL for a 02 sensor I figured that isn’t too bad to replace, after checking out the car myself turns out it was actually the Maf sensor super easy fix wasn’t too mad about that, however what they didn’t tell me was that the tags were expired, also there was no title. I had to call them for a week straight to get the title which they made me pay an extra 100 dollars for “expedited shipping” anyway that whole dmv process was a bit of a headache but all in all the car is solid and I got it for super cheap, my only suggestion to anyone thinking about buying a car is ask questions, make sure tags are up to date and pink is in hand.

DO NOT GO HERE! They lied to me saying the tags were up to date until September and when i went to go register my car they said the tags haven’t been paid since 2024 and that I would have to pay 1.2k to register!! Good thing they let me lower the price at the registration place for how much I bought it for so I could pay less but lying about something like that is ridiculous.

They are scammers. Bought a car from them it made it down the lot and the engine locked up started smoking mid left turn..almost killed me. Returned it they wouldn't refund it..but chose to swap it for a car of their choice which was even worse than the first. The car wouldn't accelerate while getting on the freeway almost got hit by an 18wheeler. They almost killed twice. I demanded a refund, they had to talk to corporate and gave me the run around..until receiving correspondence from my lawyer sister. Finally, they pretended to initiate the refund process to my bank card. They even gave me a receipt for the "interrupted transaction" smh.. 1wk went by no refund called my bank they said there was no refund pending. I brought in the receipt for the refund and my bank processed a full return instead.🙌🏾

I’ve been to a few car auctions, but this one was by far the best. The selection was diverse, the cars were well-maintained, and the process was organized. The staff were always available to help, and I was able to get a car that I am absolutely thrilled with. I will definitely be back for the next auction!

***BUYER BEWARE***On 6/2/24 I attended the auction in hopes of purchasing a vehicle. I did win a bid for $2800. 1st red flag, they changed the price of the bid to $3000. When I brought it to their attention the auctioneer insisted it was $3000, the female staff member said I would have to wait to the end of the auction to review the cameras. 2nd red flag, auction ends and auctioneer DID NOT want to review the camera, I informed him his co-worker did say the cameras could be reviewed at the end of the auction (wonder how often they bump up the price). 3rd red flag, I'm certain they have plants in there pushing the bids up as I have been there 3 times and saw the same guy there constantly bidding but never purchasing. I won a bid for $2800 for the auction and $200 for a warranty and a $400 deposit on top of the winning bid of 2800 for a total of $3400. Go to leave the auction the vehicle malfunctions and will not move when accelerator is pushed to the floor, the vehicle is not able to leave the lot!!! I'm told a mechanic will be in to look at it the next day and someone would call me. I never recieved a call. I called back several times and was finally told because the vehicle is inoperable a refund would be issued once approved from the corporate office. 1 month later I had not received my refund and still have no car. I decided to file a small claims suit against the company, they only wanted to negotiate with me once I filed a suit, THEN wanted to still charge me $400 for the deposit, $200 for the warranty, AAAND a restocking fee of $680!!! It was very clear they have no intentions of returning my $3400. Therefore I have no car and no money. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT ADVISE DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM, THEY ARE CROOKS!!! Just scroll down and read the reviews.

If you are in town & looking for a car give this auction site a visit, it's definitely worth it my experience here was only looking at the cars & how they operate didn't stay for the auction itself due to the fact they didn't have any cars I looked forward to bidding on. However, they did have a wide variety, maybe not as many as other auctions do but around 50 cars approximately. When I called, Anthony was very helpful & courteous over the phone which made me give this location a visit even more. I would love for next time I'm in town give a opportunity to see how the auction itself operates & get to bid on a car I would like to take back home.

The cars on display were in excellent condition, with minimal scratches and signs of wear. It was clear that the auction organizers took great care in ensuring that only quality vehicles were presented. The bidding experience was equally commendable. The auction was conducted efficiently, with clear instructions and a transparent process. The staff were professional and knowledgeable, making the experience both enjoyable and straightforward. Overall, it was a highly positive experience, and I would recommend this auction to anyone looking for quality vehicles and a smooth bidding environment.

The car auction for second-hand vehicles was a mixed bag. On the plus side, there was a diverse range of cars available, from recent models to older classics, catering to various budgets. However, the condition of some vehicles varied significantly, with some requiring more maintenance than advertised. The auction house provided detailed reports on each car, but it was still crucial to delve into individual vehicle histories. The ultimate experience depended largely on the research done prior to bidding and the transparency of the auctioneer. Overall, it was a decent opportunity for finding good deals, but due diligence was essential.

Buying a car can be stressful, but my experience with Auction Liquidators was a total breeze! From the moment I started browsing their listings, I felt like I was in good hands. They have a fantastic selection, and the inspection reports were so detailed - it gave me complete confidence in the condition of each vehicle.

Absolutely in love with this purchase! 💕 Despite some minor scratches and repairs needed, the value it offers far outweighs any imperfections. The engine runs smoothly, especially after a fresh oil change and our maintenance work. A big shoutout to the helpful staff who guided us through the process. Can't wait to return for more great finds in the future!

Thieves Thieves Thieves. They sold my cars, took my titles and it’s been a month and they never paid me. I called the cops on them. STAY AWAY!

Seriously an amazing place. I've struggled to buy a car for the longest time and the staff and management are just great. They did what they could to work in my budget and got me into a great Honda Accord for 3k. Its been strong as I get back on my feet and has treated me amazing. The vehicle was in a great condition with very minor issues with paint and interior. I honestly love this auction and the people here because of how kind and cooperative they have been. The car had a small issue with the air conditioning after I had it for a while, but it turned out to just be the easiest fix ever. I can't wait for my next car

I recently purchased a bus and, to my surprise, it's a one-of-one. I'm really happy with my purchase and would recommend this place to anyone. The sheer craftsmanship put into the bus was surely a lucky find.

This is the worst auction ever. They have nothing but junk and unreliable cars. I got a car from here and drove it one street down and it started doing some funny stuff and shut off. If you do plan on going make sure you buy the insurance because all their cars are nothing but trash. They very unorganized when it comes to paperwork. RECOMMENDATIONS: 0/10
