“Global Auto Auctions”

Angela K.
7/2/24

I came across Global Auto Auctions online looking for an affordable car. This was by far, the easiest, most stress-free car buying experience because this dealer is honest and transparent. Adam made me feel very comfortable with my purchase and worked out a good deal for me. Thank you, Adam!

“Globalautoauctions.com will RIP you off.”

Chris S.
8/27/24

GlobalAutoAuctions.com is a fraudulent company, and I feel compelled to share my experience to caution others against doing business with them.On April 16,2024, I made a $1,000 deposit to participate in bidding for a 2005 Ford F150 4x4, submitting a bid of $2,750.Shortly after placing my bid, I received a call from a representative at GlobalAutoAuctions.com. They suggested that if I increased my offer, they might be able to persuade the insurance company to accept it. After negotiations, we agreed on a total of $4,000 for the vehicle, plus an additional $200-$300 for shipping.I agreed to these terms and wired $3,000 on April 17,2024. The company assured me that the paperwork would be finalized, and the delivery of the truck arranged by the end of the week.When I called for an update on Friday, I was informed that there was an issue—a lien on the vehicle that needed to be resolved, which would cause a delay.At the end of the following week, I contacted them again and was told that the delay had also prevented their driver from picking up the truck. They asked for more time to arrange transportation.The following week, I reached out once more and was told that, after inspection, the vehicle was not as described in the listing. The truck, which had been advertised as having a clean title and being in running condition, was found to have deployed airbags and other undisclosed issues.They offered me the option to either accept the vehicle in its current condition or receive a refund. Given the situation, I requested a refund, as I urgently needed a vehicle and this process had already been a significant inconvenience.Despite numerous calls and texts inquiring about the status of my refund, I was repeatedly told that it was on the way and would be sent overnight.On May 28,2024, I finally received a cashier's check for only $1,800—far less than the $4,000 I had paid.Accompanying the check was a contract outlining an "Early Termination Fee."Since then, my attempts to contact the company have been futile, with calls going directly to voicemail—a tactic they seem to use to avoid responsibility. They are fully aware that I am entitled to a full refund but are relying on a lengthy and complex online contract to justify withholding my funds.I strongly advise against doing business with GlobalAutoAuctions.com to avoid falling victim to their deceptive practices as I did.

From the business

Global Auto Auctions is a leader in re-marketing technology. Global Auto Auctions has also evolved from over 20 years of experience in the Automotive and Salvage Auction industry in the United States.

WHO WE ARE
GAA Brokers Inc., is the parent company for Global Auto Auctions. It has long term working relationships which it has made over the past two decades with countless affiliate brokers whom are licensed and bonded, which are registered insurance companies, purchasing vehicles in bulk packages during catastrophes, allowing us to offer countless vehicles at discounted prices. Salvage vehicles for sale is second nature to us, we know which vehicles to protect our customers from buying, we have data that broker sites will never have. Broker's simply want to make their commission. Our administration believes buying Quality Salvage Vehicles takes a unique and experienced person, as many vehicles are not what they seem, to the naked and untrained eye. We ask our customers to be patient in the event we have their best interests and decided to pass on a vehicle. We urge any impatient, demanding customers to use broker sites. We do allow our customers to bid themselves directly at some if not most of the insurance salvage auctions. You can also pay for the vehicle within 2 business days directly at the Insurance Auction Facility with certain Insurance Auctions that allow it, some DO NOT allow the general public to pay them directly. Our administration is if not the most transparent of all, largest selection, cares about the end user, although we are in an industry in which it is so difficult to make everyone happy. We work with our customers through any mishaps and we grow together, we offer a VIP concierge type service that brokers are unable to, We have few competitors, of which whom have experience in Technology but not in the Salvage Industry, our staff knows the laws, title laws, will guide you every step of the way to ensure your experience is profitable. Whether you are an experienced licensed car dealer or just an individual interested in buying vehicles, we put our knowledge and experience at your service. We are ready to provide you with clear and detailed information on each vehicle on our venue, so that you could feel confident in what you are buying. We’ll make your salvage vehicle buying experience an unforgettable one!

WHAT WE DO
We provide a large inventory of salvage cars, motorcycles, boats, trucks, trailers, jet skis, ATVs and snowmobiles. All you have to do is register FREE on our website. It will take you no more than 30 seconds to complete our registration process and within a lightning speed you are free to start bidding and buying without needing your own Motor Vehicle Dealer license.

With Global Auto Auctions you are eligible to bid on and buy salvage vehicles offered for sale at Insurance Auctions in all the 50 states. Our exclusive online system will allow you to follow every step in the whole process of purchasing salvage vehicles. For those who have a busy schedule and find it difficult to stay in tune with the bidding process, Insurance Auctions in the United States offers a preliminary bidding system which enables our customers to place maximum bids on salvage cars of their interest at any time before the virtual proxy sale begins.
