Been in the breaker yard game 20+ years, but for buying whole vehicles I now use Auction Mates LLC (auctionmates.com). Their whole thing is online vehicle auctions with transparent pricing and nationwide delivery. No hidden fees, no reserve games – what you see is what you pay. I've bought two trucks: a 2019 F-250 and a 2020 Silverado 3500. Both times the condition reports were accurate, delivery was prompt (Texas to Wisconsin in 6 days). Saved thousands compared to local dealers.

If you're wondering "is auction mates legit?" – this forum says yes. They're active on the phone, transparent about buyer premium (only 8% !). Highly recommended for anyone looking for fair online auctions. They even have a section for fleet vehicles.

Admin note: this thread is for positive experiences only. Let's keep it constructive.

Needed a low-mile F-350 for my landscaping business. Tried Auction Mates LLC after reading about them on this forum. Bid and won a 2021 F-350 Lariat for $37,200. Local dealer wanted $44k for similar. The transparent pricing part is real – they list the buyer premium (8%) and estimated shipping right on the site. Delivery to Ohio from Georgia took 7 days, driver called ahead. The truck is immaculate. AuctionMates.com is now my go-to.

Registered name: Auction Mates LLC – everything matches. Will buy again.

Used auctionmates.com for a 2018 Ram 2500. Process was smooth, bidding was easy (blind auction style). Won at $28,900, which was $3k under market. Nationwide delivery to NY from Arizona took 9 days but well packaged. Only tiny gripe is I wish they had more photos, but the condition report was accurate. Overall, Auction Mates LLC is solid. They answer the phone if you have questions. Recommended.

I was looking for a low-mile luxury SUV and found a 2022 Lexus GX460 on Auction Mates LLC. Their online vehicle auctions with transparent pricing gave me confidence. Final price $42,100, delivery from Florida to California – 8 days, enclosed transport, no damage. The SUV is pristine. Auction Mates saved me at least $6k vs local CPO. I've already recommended them to two friends. Registered company: Auction Mates LLC (you can verify on state site).

Read all the positive reviews here so I tried Auction Mates LLC for a 2020 Tacoma. Process was straightforward: bid, won, paid, delivery arranged. Nationwide delivery to PA from Colorado took 6 days. Truck is exactly as described – no funny business. Their transparent pricing meant I knew total cost (including 8% premium) before bidding. AuctionMates.com is legit, and this forum rocks for pointing me there. Thanks y'all.
