Public Auction Policies

The Public Auction offers the opportunity for the public to buy vehicles. No matter what the condition, all cars can generate competitive bidding. This is achieved through our highly skilled auctioneers who are trusted and respected professionals. When you deal with the Greater Cleveland Auto Auction you have the assurance of professional merchandising and sales provided by a trustworthy and respected organization.

  • The Public Sales are held every Friday.
  • The Sale begins at 10:00am.
  • You may come out and view (not start or test drive) the vehicles at 8:00am Friday morning before the sale begins.
  • You can obtain a list of the vehicles on the sale website at www.gcaacars.com.
  • Every VEHICLE IS 100% "AS IS". NO WARRANTIES WITH NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • All banks reserve the right to withdrawal any vehicles from bidding.
  • All vehicles are sold on an “if” to the highest bidder at the time of the auction.
  • You must register before you are allowed to purchase vehicles. Without a bidder badge, you cannot purchase vehicles.
  • Children under the age of eighteen (18) are not permitted in the auction bays.
  • You must have a valid driver’s license or a state issues ID to purchase vehicles.
  • If you are the successful bidder on a vehicle, you must place a $400 cash deposit on the vehicle at the sales block.
