SCA Car Auctions FL 33162

I am not the type of person to do reviews on places that I have purchased from but ordering a car from the auction was very stressful my second time with them. The first time was really good but then I won an auction and they informed me that I had to wait for days until they received a confirmation for the car. They never reached out to me. I was the one that kept on reaching out to them. their communication is not good. I would say try your best to avoid using SCA-Auction. They collect a lot of fees just for nothing. I basically won the bid and they told me that I did not win the auction.

I strongly recommend avoiding SCA Auctions. They present themselves as an auction company, but in reality they operate more like a broker whose goal seems to be collecting as many fees and deposits as possible while providing very little actual service or transparency.<br><br>I deposited $1,000 so I could bid on motorcycles, placed a bid, and appeared to win — only for the listing to suddenly disappear with no explanation. I later learned that because I did not have their “Premier” membership, I could not even see the final live bidding stage. So I paid the additional $200 for Premier Access… which never activated. All day long I kept getting the same “waiting for documentation/approval” error. I called, chatted, and emailed support trying to get it fixed so I could bid on the next motorcycle. Nothing.<br><br>A phone rep told me to email my bid so they could place it manually. I did exactly that. My bid was never placed. I watched the auction stay “live” long past its posted end time, then the listing simply disappeared again. When I asked what happened, they told me the seller rejected the low bid (not mine, because they never placed it), and had already relisted the motorcycle — now suddenly labeled as a non-repairable vehicle. None of this was communicated upfront.<br><br>Only after speaking with a staff member did I learn that their “auction times” do not actually mean anything. They pause bidding for an hour, then reopen it, then run a separate, very short auction window that you cannot participate in unless you have the Premier upgrade (which, again, they took my money for but never activated).<br><br>When I finally gave up, I asked for my $1,000 deposit back and was told it would take 1–2 weeks. I asked for my $199 Premier membership refund since it never worked — they refused. I’m now disputing the charge with my credit card company.<br><br>In my experience, SCA’s system is confusing, inconsistent, and feels designed to generate fees rather than provide a fair auction process.

On July 7, 28, 2025 I won the bid on a 2008 Nissan Maxima, Invoice# 147136 from SCA AUCTIONS LLC. I had a maximum bid of $575 and was charged $1,696 (details below).<br><br>Winning price + Auction fees = Sale price 1080<br>Transaction fee 250<br>Documentation fee 199<br>SALES PRICE DUE $1696<br><br>SCA Auctions did not contact me until September 16, 2025, stating they received the title.<br><br>On September 29, 2025, SCA Auctions contacted me and stated the title had been delivered by FedEx. Apparently, there was no signature required and the FedEx envelope was gone before I came home from work.<br><br>I contacted SCA Auction on October 20, 2025, about the missing title and they responded “We've sent a request to the auction to check if they can order a duplicate. Once we have an update, we'll let you know”. On October 31, I still had not heard back from SCA, so I sent them another email. They responded “Hello! Let me see if we have an update from the yard”. On November 3, 2025, I received the following response from SCA, “Unfortunately, we wouldn’t be able to get a duplicate for this unit”. I responded “DMV said you're the only one that could get a duplicate title. Can I ask why you cannot request a duplicate title? SCA response was “That was a reply from the auction house”.<br><br>So now I have a car that doesn’t run, that I was overcharged in auction fees, with no title and SCA Auction refusal to assist me.<br><br>It only takes one other person to have a similar experience with SCA auction to file a class action suit against them.<br><br>Let me know.<br><br>SCA, please do not add a lame response to my review.
