I have used them many times over the years and they have bad predatory policy they will screw you by accepting offers on your behalf forcing you to pay more and then hide behind the policy. You accept the policy conditions or you lose access to the account. Not once have they ever apologized or made it right. I highly recommend you find another broker.

They were so helpful, as a first time bidder I had a lot of questions. Karl was very patient and explained the process in detail. I will definitely keep using their service. Robert in Sarasota.

I was worried about purchasing a car from a website, but I felt more at ease with it after doing some research. I did not take this lightly. I read other people's reviews and made sure to check on these further as well. I like that when I call an actual person picks up the line to answer my questions. I recently won my first bid and I am excited to help a friend find a car next.

I always turn off auto renewal after I make purchases. Salvage bids website either is messed up to where it automatically changes your selection back to auto renew even if you turned it off (I turned it off multiple times to test this only to return to see it turned back on each time) or they have it set to do it on purpose. Which one it is I do not know but they refuse to refund me for something that was their fault, not mine. I got charged $349 for a renewal that I did NOT consent to. Not to mention it was $199 when I actually signed up the 1st time. They want to claim that I tried to bid on something AFTER the fact...who cares? Doesn't change the fact that I did not give them permission to charge me. If Netflix is charging u against your will....might as well use it right? So that's what I did. I tried to bid on one car & didn't win & that is another reason they don't want to refund me. But either way. Their policy says their memberships are "NON REFUNDABLE" no matter what anyways.

This is by far the worst agency we ever worked with.
EVERY time, there is a problem. Either with the car or with the paperwork.
This time, we are now waiting FOUR weeks for the title. This is unacceptable.

"Avoid SalvageBid.com at All Costs: Scam Alert!"

I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with SalvageBid.com, and let me tell you, it was a nightmare from start to finish. If you're considering using this platform for purchasing a salvage car, I urge you to think again and proceed with extreme caution.

First and foremost, their deposit system is a complete sham. Like many others, I was required to pay a hefty deposit of £900 just to participate in their auctions. However, when it came time to get my deposit back, I was shocked to find that I only received £800 back. When I inquired about the missing £100, I was fed some excuse about "bank fees" and other miscellaneous charges. Are you kidding me? It's absolutely ludicrous to expect customers to foot the bill for their own banking fees, especially when it results in such a significant deduction from their deposit.

Furthermore, their customer service is abysmal. When I tried to reach out for clarification on the matter, I was met with nothing but vague responses and blatant disregard for my concerns. It's clear that SalvageBid.com has no regard for the well-being of its customers and is only interested in squeezing every last penny out of them.

In conclusion, do yourself a favor and steer clear of SalvageBid.com. The risk simply isn't worth it. There are plenty of other reputable car auction websites out there that won't try to scam you out of your hard-earned money. Save yourself the headache and avoid SalvageBid.com like the plague. You'll thank me later.

Easy to use website, customer service is a little slow and price estimates are regularly miles off.
