Speed's Auto Auction

Both. In person at the auction yard(s). Online via auctions.speedstowingauction.com and the Speeds Auto Auctions mobile app (iOS; Android also available). Absentee bids supported online; live streaming during auction.

Mobile app: Exact app name is “Speeds Auto Auctions” (iOS). Intended for bidders to view catalogs, place absentee bids, and bid live with audio/video and push notifications. No separate transporter app or gate pass/PIN system is documented. Android app also exists (package: com.liveauctiongroup.speeds), but the official Google Play web listing may be region/login-gated; third-party listing pages mirror details. Storage fee inconsistency: The Rules & FAQs page lists both $50/day and $25/day (up to 3 days) storage for on-site purchases; verify current storage fee with the auction office. Seller fees differ by program: the auction site states a $100 up-front seller’s fee to sell your car; a separate Speed’s Towing Consignments page cites a 12% seller’s fee—this may be a distinct consignment service outside the weekly auction; confirm which applies. Platform details: Online bidding/help and the iOS app are provided by Live Auction Group; the vendor marketplace at carauctions.speedstowingauction.com notes proxy bidding and states a 15% buyer’s fee on that site, which is different from the 17% online fee for the weekly simulcast; terms can vary by platform/auction.

On-site: Pay before 4:30 p.m. and remove before 5:00 p.m. on auction day or storage/late fees apply. You may pick up keys once the auction is over. Working on vehicles in the yard is strictly prohibited (only a tire change to facilitate transport is allowed). No test drives; you may start the vehicle. Vehicles must be removed from premises (cannot move outside fence for later pickup). Vehicles left 72 hours are disposed of (no refunds). Online winners: pay/pick up by 4:30 p.m. Wednesday or storage applies; vehicles left after noon Friday may be impounded back to the auction.
