Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
OPAA operates both as a public-facing lot selling smogged vehicles daily and as an auction venue for salvage inventory. Monthly salvage bidding uses proxy/absentee submissions in person during the second week. Online auctions have been hosted on HiBid; at the time of research, the HiBid company page shows no active auctions, so online sale schedules vary and should be confirmed directly. The site lists accepted cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) and explicitly rejects personal and cashier’s checks. No mobile apps, PIN/gate pass, virtual queue, appointment, transporter authorization, or storage fee details are published on the official site.
