This is a great place to find an inexpensive car or truck. They have a wide variety of vehicles. Plus, they do all the DMV paper work before you leave the yard. They also have a junk yard where you can pull parts for your vehicle.

Very disappointed in the way they claim the cars are smogged. Purchased a vehicle that only had 5 cylinders working out of 6 and they claim it passed smog really.

I bought cars here before covid started and afterwards. When it was a real auction you could get a fair deal ..Now all at set prices , too high. With 15 % auction fee . The online auction looked promising but it set at a reserve must be met price. And at the moment all junk cars, salvaged. No smog or registration. Lower the prices or negotiate your gonna be losing business .! Now it's basically a used car lot / junk yard.

It's NO LONGER a car auction house.... Just a used car lot with overpriced used/wrecked cars. If they turned it back into an actual auction... as the name implies, it would be far better.

I got a good deal on a Honda Accord and will definitely be back in the future when I need another vehicle.I came back and bought a jeep that was supposed to be a smogged runner and it instantly threw a check engine light and cost me an extra $2,000 to get it fixed. I only made it 10 miles and the owner got mad at me for asking how it passed smog with a missfire on every cylinder.I thought I would never do business withthem again but then I seen a 2010 expandable camping trailer there so I sent my wife to buy it and after it was paid for they brought out the paperwork for it and it turns out it was a 2002. So watch out for the false advertisement and be careful with what you buy there, as for me, I think this will be my final purchase.

Love the place and staff. Ok maybe not pretty, but there are great deals to be had. I miss the auction days (Bay area donation cars) Got my PT Cruiser convertible there on an impulse and I have sunk some more money into it because I love it! Just ask for what you want- cars or parts and they'll help find it on the lot if they have it. Plenty of salvage vehicles too!

Not a legit auction house and very shady business they do.They have outrageous prices for cars that they know have serious problems.They don t negotiate nor let you bid.The best bet is to find a legit auction house at least you ll pay fair prices for junky cars.I would not come to this place for anything other than their junkyard because all their stuff is junk

Me and my husband have bought so many cars from here and had never had issues! After getting screwed too many times on craigslist or autodealers, we only go to this auction now! The staff is amazing and so helpful. The mechanics know what there doing and are great at it. Cars are always really clean and drive great! We will continue to only turn to Orland Auto Auction and so will our family!

I got my car from them yesterday. It had a flat that they supposedly fixed, it was flat again in 24hrs. The ac worked just long enough for me to get half a mile down the road. Then this morning I go to start the car to take it to get the Ac checked and it won't even start,, find out the battery was bad. While I was having the tire fixed, battery and AC checked I had the brakes checked, they were so low I have to get those replaced as well. I know that they don't do warranties but to sale me a car the brakes were bad in and not tell me anything else that was wrong with the car. The brakes could have went out and I have my son in the car with me! And on top of it all it doesn't have a stereo. Paid almost as much into it as I paid for it.

Such an excellent place to get a vehicle for the most affordable price! Friendly staff, very knowledgeable. Even though this whole virus is going on, which is a bummer, there are benefits.. such as this place no longer does auctions. All prices are set so there is no competing with other customers, which is great!

We got a nice vehicle, luckily no issues or nothing wrong what's so ever, just be warned, if you come here thinking this is the place to go to get cars for cheap, always make sure to have a lump sum of extra money when you plan to bid for a car.There is alot of fees, taxes, and charges for buying a car from the auction, we had up to $850 extra bucks to pay off from our bidding price, 200 of that being dmv stuff so beware, do not expect to pay what you bid for, it will most likely be 400-1000 more of fees added, especially higher the bid price..

I loved the selection. Got the car I really wanted for a really great price. If you know anything about cars, then you should definitely go at least have a look. I was amazed at what I found, it was exactly what I wanted & cheaper than I could find all over the state.

The first time I bought a car here, it was great. I came back 2 years later, in March, the auctioneer was completely unprofessional, I bid $1,750 for a car, after a LONG time of trying to get a higher bid of $2000 he didn t get it, and pointed to me, sold for $2000. When told he was incorrect and that I bid $1750, he insisted i was wrong and made me pay the extra $250. I left extremely disappointed in the out come of this auction.

One of the most Shady auto auctions in California I've been to. Sold a car knowing that it had transmission issues and wouldn't honor any type of return no credit no nothing not even willing to work with me. Be careful when you get vehicles from this place they are worth the headache.

I've bought several vehicles from this auction and not one of them had, or ended up with any problems... To this day!I "HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AUCTION TO 'ANYONE' THAT NEEDS A GOOD VEHICLE, THATS ALSO SOMEWHAT NEW AND DOESN'T HAVE VERY MUCH TO SPEND ON A VEHICLE"Just because they sell them for more than a reasonable price... There's nothing wrong with them! If there happens to be something wrong with the vehicle they have it written on the windows with window markers! I love this place! They haven't been open for 22yrs for nothing

They're great, the staff is really helpful with the whole process. And they have a nice variety of vehicles to chose from. You can even inspect the vehicle to know exactly what you are getting. Definitely recommend.

Don't waste your time here. The auctioneer is really pushy and tries to over sell cars that clearly have something wrong with them, otherwise they wouldn't be there. My friend over bid $2250, ended up paying $3000 out the door after all the fees for something worth $500 on kelly blue book and has issues that are only noticeable once you actually drive in the road, which you can't do at the auction site until you buy one of these cars. Do yourself a favor and just get one from craigslist because at least then you can test drive it and know exactly what you're spending.

Staff was very nice. Selection of cars was ok would of been better if the batteries were charged when you tried to start the vechiles, but other than that I had fun there.

Auctioneer very unprofessional. Stopping in the middle of bids to up sell the cars. Then forgetting what the bid was and starting over. Telling people the cars have leather seats and after market rims when they are factory and not leather. Telling people in the middle of bidding that the car has 200 thousand miles all freeway when there is no possible way that he could know that. Jumping bids from $1,500 to $2,700 when only one other person bid. Starts speaking Spanish in the middle of bidding to where most people have no idea what the bid is. All around the auction was nice. But the auctioneer was trash. It sucks one guy could ruin it for every one. His sons did great spotting bids and working with bidders. The apple must fall very far from the tree.

Here's the deal. They have "house bidders". So be very carefull. Be sure you go the day before to check them out and take notes.So you know the right car to bid on. Sometimes there is more than one of the cars your lookin at.Take your time....youll have fun. They sold ours to us, said it had 4 wheele drive...nope
