Ridesafely.com allows the general… Ridesafely.com is a Broker that allows the general public to bid for crashed vehicles at auctions where only Dealerships, Salvage Yards, etc. can normally bid. The final price I paid was about $1000 more than my bid (excluding tax, title, and transportation which I would have had to pay no matter what). Of that $1000 about $300 went to Ridesafely so it is reasonably priced. The only downside is that all brokers (Ridesafely too) use unsecured funds to pay the auction company. This means that the Auction Company's fee gets bumped up 200-300 dollars. I researched and there is no easy way to bid at private auctions though so the extra cost is worth it.

I found a great vehicle (2019 Yukon)… I found a great vehicle (2019 Yukon) theft recovery! After careful research I made my purchase and RideSafely made an easy hassle free purchase. All I had to do was basic maintenance oil change, brake check, etc. I saved around 15k on a great vehicle. Do your due diligence and research your investment. If vehicle is being sold by an insurance company you’re likely to have a good experience. If a dealer is selling you should wonder why they’re selling at auction rather than on the lot. Just my two cents. Happy bidding and good luck!

Horrible experience if you want to see car b4 hand. Horrible experience I put in a bid for today. Then attempt to head to Copart who is there partner. Copart tells me I can't preinspect vehicle of I'm not a Copart member. So you can't see car until after you win bid. COPART wants $100 membership for a year just to inspect vehicles. So unless you're good with a sight unseen buy. Avoid on top of that they RideSafely charges you a fee + Copart fees + documentation. I quickly retracted my bid. Will go to a public auction instead.

A Great Broker Experience! Customer service is always available with a quick phone call. They were courteous, helpful, and went out of their way to make things work. They even stayed late on a Friday to finalize my purchase so that I could pick it up Monday morning! Their fees are reasonable though the auction fees portion of their fees was higher than other brokers I have used. Having said that, their broker fee was much more reasonable. I love that they give me access to IAA and Copart in the same broker. I will use them again!

As a first time buyer As a first time buyer I am truly and totally unsatisfied with this auction site. I purchased a truck in Nov and still have not received the title. Every time I call its next week and again next week. I've looked up every legal way possible and nothing says they can sell a car without a title to someone unknown to the customer. I was told the title will be sent but so far nothing. I've good things about this site but I guess they decided not all customers are treated fairly. ai just want the title if not, please refund all money spent.
