I spoke with David at 11am and committed to buying the vehicle. I explained that I would be driving from out of state and I would be there by 4:30pm. I walked through the door at 4:30 only to find him doing the paperwork on the vehicle for another customer. He did not offer an explanation or apology he just said first come first serve. If you are planning on purchasing a vehicle from Beaverdam Auto Auction be ware
Beaver Dam do a good job selling your cars this is my fourth time selling a car with them I'm just a regular individual only problem I have is you have to pay so much in fees FreeCell and especially if you sell the car I think $250 per car is a lot of money and then the buyers have to buy $100 buyer's fee I think the $250 fee should be adjusted some
Website shows public welcome. It is incorrect. I called today and it us dealer only.
Takes 5 seconds to update a website to say Dealer only.
Update. New website they list in their response shows it is open too public.
Great place to buy or sale your vehicles car dealers this is the place to stock your lot or sell some older inventory definitely great people to deal with.
We drove here from over an hour and a half away to buy a car, maybe two. They have all over their website the public is welcome and makes it look like they want you to be there. We couldn't even get one foot past the gate and were told we could only bid on the cars that were along the highway which was a total of 4 cars. Dont waste your time
I love going to the Dam! They treat you like family there and go out of their way for you. I've been going there for 10 years and look forward to it each week.
This auction in for dealers only. I drove 2 hours to find out that I could only bid on two cars. There website falsely advertise that the public can attend and bid on all the cars. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!
I have bought numerous cars at Beaver Dam. These are some of the nicest people I have did business with and run a very efficient opperation with the lowest buyer / seller fees around.
I do that vent much but this really has me irritated. My husband has been going here for 6 years at least buying cars.. And ill say we had had title problems.. There's been times we go to pick cars up and things were missing like radios,knobs,window switches. And we never said anything. Just figured the lord works how he works.. And today my husband gets accused of tampering with the cars. The owner Kathy is very rude. Inconsiderate of other people.. Just cause you have a little money doesn't make you any better then anyone else. Or make you automatically right about what you think. I will never go to this auction again.. And a highly recommend anyone else do either
I've been attending auto auctions for 35 years. Beaver Dam, while small, is the most efficient auction I've worked. The staff is efficient and friendly and the buyers and sellers are loyal and consistent. Outstanding company.
Located off HWY 74 in Shelby, NC, Beaver Dam is a smaller auction. They have 4 lanes used at the weekly auction. For the non-dealer, its not ideal location to flip a car. Non-dealers are limited to a small percentage of the vehicles on lot to bid on. A sizable deposit is needed to enter, refunded if no purchase is made. Number varies by date, yet 10 to 40 is the average.
Dealers can bid on all inventory, with an average count of 150 to 250. Auctions take place at night, and a website lists some of the inventory along with some photos. Apples to apples, this is a fair starting point in a public allowed dealers auction.
