Step 2
Vehicle selection based on your requirements at major US auctions: Copart, IAAI, and Manheim. Seller and history verification. Accurate cost calculation. Our goal is to find you a high-quality vehicle at the best possible price.
Step 3
Logistics and delivery to an EU port, customs clearance, and full process monitoring with photo reports. Container tracking and door-to-door delivery across Europe.

Fixed Pricing The final vehicle price is calculated and agreed upon before purchase, based on the winning bid. Once confirmed, the price is fixed — guaranteed with no hidden or unexpected charges.
