THE PROCESS
REACH OUT
Let us know what type of vehicle you are looking for by:

or
Call / Text/ WhatsApp
*the more information you provide, the more suited we are to identify potential vehicles for you*
WE REACH BACK
We'll reply to you with:
- Links to images and descriptions of potential vehicles for you to review
- A ballpark estimate of what your vehicle will cost once completed
- Confirmation as to whether or not your desired vehicle will fit your target budget
- Responses to any other inquiries you may have
AGREE & BID
Once you identify which specific vehicle(s) you would like us to bid on, a
deposit of 20% of the agreed upon maximum bid is required prior to the auction.
WE WILL NOT BID ON YOUR VEHICLE WITHOUT FIRST SECURING THIS DEPOSIT
HOW THE AUCTION WORKS:
Each day, thousands of vehicles are put up for bid at dealer-only auction sites across the country.
Every vehicle is assigned a lot number and auction date at least a week in advance.
Thus, we have ample time to come up with a maximum bid that fits within your overall budget.
When the vehicle of your choice is up for auction, we will bid only up to the agreed upon maximum
-- meaning if we agree to stop bidding at $10,000.00 and the auction runs to $10,100.00,
we will lose and the vehicle will be awarded to another bidder.
POTENTIAL OUTCOMES:
A: The Ideal
We win! You will be notified immediately after the bid is accepted.
We have 3 days to pay for the vehicle and it must be removed from the auction site within a week. Your 20% deposit will be applied to the total amount due and you will be invoiced for the
remaining balance. This invoice will cover the total bid amount on the vehicle, the auction fees,
and the cost of in-land transportation (if necessary).
B: The Not-So Ideal (But There's Still Hope)
We Lose... This means someone else bid higher than our maximum.
At this point, we may need to re-evaluate the criteria, identify other options, and adjust accordingly.
Should you decide you no longer want to use our services to procure your vehicle,
your 20% deposit will be FULLY REFUNDED (minus any applicable wire fees).
C: The Scenario Neither of Us Want
We win and the bid is accepted... but you fail to come up with the remainder of the payment in
a timely manner for any reason.
In this situation, your 20% deposit is forfeited.
Why? Because when we place a bid, it is binding. If we win a vehicle and do not pay for it,
we must pay what is known as a "renege fee" to the auction.
Your deposit will be used to pay this renege fee.
Please do not make this mistake.
After payment, your vehicle will be transported from the auction site
to one of the licensed and insured auto body/ mechanic shops in our network.
Upon arrival at the shop it will be stripped down and evaluated by a team of technicians.
Based on this evaluation, we will determine all parts needed and the cost of labor.
At this point, the invoice/ payment schedule is case-specific based on client preference.
Some clients like to send the total invoice amount in advance.
Others prefer a 'pay as we go' method where deposits are made in increments
at specific steps during the repair.
DELIVERY & EVALUATION
DELIVERY & EVALUATION
THE REPAIR PROCESS
This is the most dynamic part of The Process.
It's when sparks fly, parts and components are replaced, panels are painted, and your vehicle is transformed before your eyes.
During this time, we will be in constant communication with you.
You will receive many updates, pictures, and all the correspondence you desire.
Our clients are always welcome stop by to get a first hand look at The Process in action!
INSPECTION
After all repairs are complete, the vehicle must be inspected for road-worthiness
by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).
The FLHSMV Inspector:
- checks that all repairs were properly performed at licensed facilities,
- checks that all airbags and safety components were replaced,
- cross references invoices to make sure no parts/components on the vehicle were stolen,
- evaluates the extent of necessary repairs based on the vehicle's previous condition,
- issues a sticker of approval once the vehicle passes the inspection.
After passing inspection, we are issued a new title for the vehicle by the DMV.
This title will then be transferred to you in the final step of The Process.
WRAPPING UP & TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP
After the new title is issued, it is time to transfer the vehicle to you!
NOTE: Before transfer, all outstanding invoice balances must be paid in full
unless otherwise stated.
DOMESTIC SALE:
1. You will need to contact your auto insurance company and have your new car added to your policy. We will need a copy of your insurance card to complete the transfer.
2. We will need a copy of your driver's license.
3. If you are not transferring an existing license plate, you will need to purchase a new plate.
*By law, as an operating dealer we must go to the DMV on your behalf
to the complete the transfer.
*By law, as an operating dealer we must collect the sales tax on
the sale of your vehicle.
After all paperwork is complete and taxes are collected,
the vehicle will be transferred to you!
EXPORT:
We will deal directly with your freight forwarder and customs broker.
If you do not have one, we can recommend one to you.
*For some countries (ex. Jamaica), a second pre-shipment inspection is required prior to export.
