Pre Auction

Before the Auction Starts

Auctions are held twice a week; Wednesdays at 11am and Fridays at 3pm. Commercial vehicles are now included in every Wednesday Sale.

We are open from 9:00am until 5:30pm Monday to Thursday and from 9am until the end of the auction on Friday. We recommend that you arrive in plenty of time to familiarise yourself with the vehicles offered for sale.
All vehicles are checked using HPI to ensure that their number plate and VIN/chassis number match and that they are not registered as stolen or on security watch. They are also checked for outstanding finance, accident damage, vehicle identity and any plate transfers.

All vehicles have their background information displayed on the windscreen. The catalogue will state if a vehicle has been inspected. Vehicles not inspected will have images uploaded to the website www.ebca.co.uk There will be no comment made on the vehicle’s general condition. Reports for inspected vehicles can be found on our website www.ebca.co.uk or by scanning the QR code located in the top right hand corner of the information sheet on the vehicle windscreen.

A QR reader can be downloaded to your smartphone via the app store. Known faults will only be listed on the online inspection report.All vehicles sold at ECA are ‘Sold as Seen’.

No negotiations regarding mechanical or vehicle condition will be entered into after the sale, unless the vehicle was sold with an ‘End of Sale Trial‘ is taken up by the purchaser. All vehicles are sold as seen. You may bring a mechanic along to look over any vehicle prior to the sale day.

Catalogues are printed approximately 20 minutes before the start of each sale. You can collect a catalogue from the boxes located outside the offices in the Auction Hall.
