Manatee & Sarasota • Gulf Coast Auctions

Wholesale and estate vehicle services, backed by 40 years of relationships.

For more than 40 years we have worked the auctions and the wholesale market here in Manatee and Sarasota. We help dealerships get more out of their wholesale without adding staff, and we help families sell an estate's vehicles the right way. Simply put, we do well when you do well, because our whole job is putting our knowledge and our buyers to work on your bottom line.

What we do

Two ways we put four decades of relationships to work.

We are not a retail lot. We are the wholesale department dealerships would rather not staff, and the steady hand estates need when there is a garage full of vehicles and no clear plan.

For Dealerships

Your wholesale department, without the payroll.

Running a wholesale department in house means hiring people, managing them, and pulling your managers off the retail floor. Let us handle it instead. We work the auctions for you, lean on relationships we have spent decades building, and bring back more than a crew that shows up once a week. Your managers stay with your customers, and your wholesale side finally makes real money.

For Estates & Families

Turn a collection into the right sale.

Settling an estate is hard enough without a garage full of vehicles you are not sure what to do with. We step in, sort out what you have, figure out condition and titles, and get each one in front of the right buyer. Cars, trucks, RVs, motorcycles, trailers, watercraft, collector pieces, we have sold it all.

How we do it

We work the strongest auctions in the region.

We have teamed up with Manheim to bring you the Liquidator Lane: prime-time lane placement, top auctioneers, and professional representation for your vehicles. Add OVE, the 24/7 online wholesale marketplace, and your units get in front of thousands of buyers without ever leaving your lot. We come to you. One call does it all.
