Dealers can participate on both sides of the auction. Switch between the Buyer and Seller tabs to see how each process works.

01

Register Your Dealership

Complete the online dealer registration with your OMVIC dealer number, business details, and contact information. Accounts are reviewed and approved before auction access is granted.

03

Bid Live — Online or In Person

Join the live auction from your desktop, mobile device or attend in person at our central Toronto facility.

04

Invoice, Pay & Pick Up

Winning bids generate an invoice through our customized dashboard. We accept all forms of payment and can help facilitate transportation if required.

01

Submit Your Vehicles

Consign inventory through your dealer account. Provide vehicle details, VIN, mileage, and any known disclosures. Our team will confirm scheduling and lot assignment for the next available auction date.

Set Your Reserve

Set your reserve price to ensure your vehicle sells only at a value you’re comfortable with, giving you full control over every transaction.

04

Receive Payment

Once the buyer completes payment, proceeds are remitted to your account net of applicable seller’s fees. Our team handles the transaction and notifies you when funds are cleared and the vehicle is collected.
