My experience with West Coast Auction was extremely frustrating and disappointing. The bidding process did not feel transparent or fair. It appeared that the same vehicle was being bid up repeatedly until the reserve price was met, creating the impression that bids were being placed by parties other than genuine buyers. Instead of allowing real market demand to determine the final price, it felt like the auction was structured to push bids higher until a specific number was reached. This made it difficult to trust the legitimacy of the auction. On top of that, communication was poor, and questions about bidding activity and reserve pricing were not clearly addressed. For an auction platform where people are spending serious money, transparency and trust are critical. Overall, I would not recommend West Coast Auction. Based on my experience, buyers should proceed with caution and be aware that the final price may not reflect true competitive bidding. read more

Horrible they are FRAUD and sell you bad cars ( will turn off check engine light) sell car and let you buy a car knowing it's no good!!! they have you sign a form as is but it's fraud because they turned off the check engine light showing nothing wrong with the car as soon as I drove back home to Riverside th check engine light came on and I took it to autozone to see what was wrong and to my surprise issues that they knew about . I called same day and took the car back the next week for the to fix which I doubt they did got it back a week later and the same issues came about. I will be taking this to court because how dare you sell a car knowing it's a piece of shit! Now I'm stuck trying to fix a car that was messed up from day one read more

This is the most janky used car sales man out there they sell cars that should have been junked. If you run them through the court system you can see just how many times they have been sued. They are nothing but high priced chop shop scammers!! Do your self a favor and stay far away from this place read more

My cousin's girlfriend bought a car and the same day check engine came on and car completely broke down. 2 mechanic estimates, $8,200 and $6,900 state car in in horrible shape read more

I walked in and walked for about 2 minutes before I started seeing suv I liked. So much to choose from it's wild. Prices are negotiable but make sure and take enough cash because there is a 9.74% (depending on your zip code) for every $1000. I was ready since I went with my friend that has purchased here before. I left with a 2017 Chevy equinox. All that I've had to do to it was change the tire monitoring sensors but it runs great. Would definitely go there again and definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy with cash in hand. read more

West Coast Auto Auction - Here's what I brought home, 2017 Chevy equinox - Car Auctions Near Me - Whittier, California

Sold me a van with a busted transmission, don't buy from this place, bunch of scammers.

I don't understand why people are complaining so much... this is an auction, and an "as-is" auction at that... this is not a place for little families, uneducated or inexperienced naive people. This is a world for mechanics, mechanically inclined people. There isn't a place on earth that sets up shop and provides products at a significantly discounted price in perfect condition, and it is just dumb to expect that. They have don't nothing wrong, you all just don't know what you're doing and are mad you stepped into a world you know nothing about and that you didn't find the secret behind getting a 60k car for 10k. Stop crying, don't come back to an auction, buy a car you can afford and move on, or learn your lesson, and come back educated and with an understanding of the environment you are entering into. read more

Terrible car auction! The front desk girl that looks like a horse was getting angry and worked up because we told her we didn't want to pay the taxes and registration there and that we would pay it with the dmv, which is how it's done at other "Legit" Auctions, we didn't have any attitude with her, we were calm and she was getting all worked up like if she owned the place lol we asked to speak to her supervisor and he was nice and tried to hear us out and she kept interrupting and running her mouth, her supervisor was even telling her in Spanish to be quiet and calm down lol it was ridiculous the way she was acting and very unprofessional. It really is strange how they make you pay taxes there, they let us go with registration but tried to push it on us but we know better and they knew that and didn't like it. They are tricky there. I didn't even do the auction I just chose the car we thought was good and they didn't even let us test drive it (when it was purchased non auction purchase) even tho they claim they are "Now" a dealership and an auction. Last I checked dealerships let you test drive a car you are interstate in. It's real shady the way they operate here, so be wise, because they are Raza taking advantage of Raza. Btw their starting bids are higher than most auctions. I definitely recommend going to any other car auction that this disgraceful business. Remember to read and make a copy or take a picture of the slip they give you when you put money down for your car you want because they have you sign it and pay then they write on it later another fee. So be one step ahead of them. When you come here it's buy at your own risk read more

Very shady business. If i can give them no stars i would. . My in law had many issues with this business. Having bought a car from them 6 months ago, when they said her stickers and registration should arrive in the mail within the weeks she bought her car; which she ended up having to wait for 6 MONTHS. until we showed up to this business to confront them about the issue. Also they have petty Rent A Cops guarding the place. It's funny because it looks like they bought their badges and bulletproof vests and gun holster from Amazon. Not only was waiting 6 months an issue, but the car ITSELF had issues. Need I say more? They are very incompetent to their customers and don't follow their word. read more

Scammers!! They sold me a car with broken engine !!! They are scammers !! Don't buy!! ¡¡Estafadores!! ¡Me vendieron un coche con el motor roto! ¡¡Son estafadores!! ¡¡No compres!! read more

So we came here for a car on a non auction day. They had a pretty dope selection of cars there for good prices. You don't get the price as low as you would at auction, but you also are getting to choose the car you want without others bidding and it's still lower than you'd find anywhere else. The thing I really liked about it though is that the car was smogged and there weren't any hidden problems or check engine lights. The one thing I thought was a little sneaky was they wrote on the windshield "105,000 miles". Then during the paperwork it said "177,000" and when I asked they said it's because there was a new engine with only 105k miles in it. Which on one hand I was annoyed a little and just went with it but on the other hand, now I was looking at a whole car and not just an engine with almost 200k miles on it. I've also realized that this is inevitable no matter where you buy a car and that was the only complaint I had. HOWEVER, the car was immaculate inside and out, it has been completely reliable with no surprises (and we have driven it roundtrip to both Southern Oregon as well as Las Vegas a few times with no issues ever) and it has been a great experience. Especially for the price we got it for. Very easy deal, no hassles, they accepted our offer below what they had it listed for, and we were not there the whole day playing games like you would at a dealership. All in all, I'd completely go buy from them again. read more

West Coast Auto Auction - Infiniti EX35 Journey - Car Auctions Near Me - Whittier, California

I should have rad the reviews before and I would have bought the car. Before purchasing the car, I asked the guy about the rear view mirror. He said he had ordered it and it didn't get there in time. He said provide me with your phone # and once it comes in I will call you. I have been calling and calling and no answer. 2 weeks passed by and nothing. Obviously, I am not going back. In reading the reviews before, ppl say about the scanner code machine. The guy called me the next day thinking he left the machine in the car I bought and now it has me thinking what kind of scammers they are! BTW, I usually never post anything but this got me really upset! DO NOT BUY FROM THESE SCAMMERS! read more

Sooooo wth I bought a 2015 ford focus for 420. It ran fine for about less than a month before the engine light turned on. Instantly I thought to myself fml. On the title and on the dash of car it said 130k miles. I looked online and there's a way to check the vehicle stats by turning the key on but not all the way then holding the ok button in the steering wheel for 10 seconds to where a secret menu pops up apparently it had over 200k miles on it. I then took it to auto zone to see what's up with the light because there were no vehicle codes showing on the vehicle diagnostics (super sus) even though the light was on. I guess they did something to where even if the check engine light goes on the code doesn't pop up on the screen. It only shows up if you use a OBD2 scanner. Super whack. The problem ended up being the transmission (clutch actuator A stuck in on position) and I almost got into a accident because driving home because it kept slipping gears. This place sells nothing but lemons no joke. The mechanics there probably all work together to get these cars to the point where they work long enough to where you can't take them back anymore before they mess up. I should of known better and just walked out when this guy came in when I bought the car complaining that the catalytic converter went out right away asking if they could pass his smog like they did when he bought it so he can sell it because he didn't want it anymore. When you buy a car there they ask for 500 right off the bat as soon as you win the bid before you sign the paperwork that you don't get back if you change your mind. From now on I'm taking a Obd2 scanner with me when I make my next vehicle purchase. Warning stay away from this auction chances are if it seems too good to be true more than likely it is. These people aren't you're friends they are scammers that perfected the art of not being sued by selling vehicles "as is". All good though ima leave it to karma to get 'em back for being shady to who knows how many other people out there. read more

Wonderful team! They were patient and walked us through the entire process. We got stuck in the rain nearby driving off the lot near their closing time. Their team drove to us and looked for the cause, explained the situation and resolved it on the spot. Although they sell "as is" as do other auctions, they were kind to care which is rare. Most auctions wash their hands of you after sale. Suggestion, have your cash or apple pay ready to prevent delay in purchase. Zelle etc have transfer limits. Thank you Team for all for help! Special shout out to Gregory, Salvador, Henry, Ruby, Eddie, Omar, Carlos!!! We couldn't have gone through any of this without you. read more

The bidding up prices is disgusting. Its also disgusting that people have said they cant use a code reader to see whats wrong with the car. That seems like they are hiding information about the cars. read more

Buyer beware this dealership or auction whatever they wanna call themselves or thieves they don't care about your you or their customers they steal from the customers they take their deposit. They try to put them in different cars and tell you that they sold that car and put you to another car that has more miles, Greg Greg the manager there seems to be that has Customer Service skills takes peoples money and makes a living that way stay away if I could, I would read more

me and my family came here on a saturday around 2:40pm looking to purchase a family car since we now have our two month old son. we were choosing between two cars but ended up going with a 2009 chevy impala. on the paper that was on the car it was mentioned it had been a 2010 & lower mileage. when we came up to the desk to purchase it they barely told us it was a year older (2009) and it had about 20,000 more miles than what the paper mentioned. after being there for quite some time we decided to take the chance at grabbing it. there's a $500 deposit. after paying the deposit you wait in line to pay the rest of the vehicle cost and if you want all the stuff regarding the dmv. we were waiting outside all the way up to 8:20pm the process is very slow so i suggest you go and get yourself something to drink and eat before coming. please keep in mind they do not let you test drive the vehicle. so if you see a car with a reasonable price you should remember it's probably for a reason. we had several fixings that needed to be done to repair the car we had. that put $2,000+ in repairs that we had to pay out of pocket because the car was not in safe circumstances to continue running especially with our little one. at the end of the day this place is just about making their sales. they do not have the heart to tell you the truth on what's up with the car, because guaranteed if they were to tell the buyer everything that's wrong with the car most would never even get purchased. even if we had token the vehicle back the company still takes 10% of the cars worth and keeps it for "re stocking fee". majority of the employees that were working were waiting around in the vehicles and drinking large counts of beer. also to mention when we opened up the trunk to put our babies stroller inside it reeked of beer. one employee who took our vehicle out for us had left his edibles in the car as well. also we do know they were his because when we first looked in the car nothing but an empty cup was in the front and after he got out the car from getting us the keys he then left his item. unfortunately i have to give one star as part of the review but if i could i would give 0 stars. read more

West Coast Auto Auction - the end of the night, we were the last people to have gotten assisted with a baby - Car Auctions Near Me - Whittier, California

See all

Thought this was a real auction where the car goes to the highest bidder but found out it is different here. They bid backward from a really high price down to what they want, then if it doesn't sell, it comes back next time. Then when you leave you get other people trying to sell you the cars on the lot. Even the security guard. I would say if you are looking for a deal, this is not the right place. But if you're looking to buy a car at regular prices, they have a lot of variety. read more
