PUBLIC AUTO AUCTIONS IN GEORGIA
In Georgia, when a vehicle is impounded, the owner of the vehicle is required to pay certain fees in order to reclaim the vehicle. The fee for towing is mandatory and there may be fees for administrative costs and vehicle storage. The vehicle storage fees are accrued for each day the vehicle is stored beyond the first 24 hours after the car was towed and impounded. Any vehicle not claimed within 30 days of being towed may be sold at auction. The types of vehicles that we present at our public auto auctions depend solely upon what vehicles we have towed and are unclaimed.
Statewide Wrecker hosts a monthly auto auction open to the public where you can buy used motorcycles, cars, and trucks.
THE NEXT AUTO AUCTIONS WILL BE April 22nd.
Vehicles can be previewed on Tuesday April 21st.
