Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if S&S Auto is the successful bidder at the auction?

If we are the successful bidder, we arrange to have the vehicle trucked to Huntington Beach where it undergoes a safety inspection and smog test. The vehicle is then made ready for delivery by receiving a fresh oil change, lubrication service, and a full tank of gas. Once it has a complete detail service, it's ready for delivery.

How do I know I won't get a lemon?

S&S Auto wants each and every client not just to be happy with their "new" used car or truck. We want them to be thrilled with the entire experience. You see, word-of-mouth and raving referrals are our best form of advertising. In short, we need you to be ecstatic with both the vehicle and the savings. We can only achieve that goal if we never buy an ugly or problem car.

Okay, but what if there is a problem?

To avoid problems, S&S Auto only buys used vehicles that remain under original or extended factory warranties. Most domestic manufacturers cover their vehicles with a 3-year/36,000-mile Limited Bumper to Bumper warranty. Most foreign manufacturers cover their vehicles under a 4-year/50,000-mile Limited Bumper to Bumper warranty. Some makes and models are also covered by longer powertrain warranties. To a very large extent, these original or extended warranties take the risk out of buying a used vehicle.
