🚨 Public Warning Review for Baltimore Auction

Title: Extremely Risky Place to Buy a Car — Hidden Issues, No Test Drives, Extra Fees, and No Accountability

I bought a car from Baltimore Auction yesterday, and before I even made it home the check‑engine light came on, the transmission started slipping, and the car became unsafe to drive. I brought it back today, less than 24 hours later, and they told me there are absolutely no refunds, even though the vehicle clearly had major mechanical problems from the moment it left their lot.

They also do not allow test drives, which means you have no chance to catch serious mechanical issues before you hand over your money. By the time you discover the problems, you’re stuck with them.

On top of that, they charge a $500 fee on every purchase, which makes the risk even bigger. You’re paying extra money for a car you can’t test, and if it breaks down immediately—as mine did—they take zero responsibility.

This place is a major gamble for anyone trying to buy a reliable vehicle. They sell cars with undisclosed mechanical issues, offer no transparency, and refuse to stand behind what they sell. I strongly urge the public to look for better, more trustworthy options in Maryland.

Protect your money. Protect your safety. Avoid Baltimore Auction.

I recently purchased a 2020 Chevy Trax  from this auction as my daughter's first time vehicle, and want to share my experience so others understand what they are getting into. I believe this auction sells the worst of the worst vehicles no one wants. Ninety-nine percent are all over 100k miles.

Shortly after leaving the auction, the odometer screen began glitching on and off and there was a noticeable whistling noise from under the hood. We took the car for Maryland safety inspection and it failed because the odometer display went completely blank.

I ended up having to pay about $560 at the dealer to replace the instrument cluster just to get the car to pass inspection. In addition, I had to spend more money on a valve cover, brake pads, spark plugs, oil change, and a full interior detail because the car was filthy. We laughed at the 'Clean Inside' stickers the auction has on its cars.

If you are new to this you need to understand that these cars are sold strictly as-is. The auction advertises a 24-hour return window (red flag), but it ONLY applies to very specific major failures like engine or transmission issues. It does not cover problems like electrical failures, inspection issues, or other defects that show up immediately after purchase.

**Also, be aware that bidding can feel questionable. We observed one individual bidding on nearly EVERY car (50 cars at least),but never actually winning, which made it feel like prices were being driven up on purpose. Later, I read a review on Yelp from another buyer who peeped the same issue too. Beware!! **

If you still want to visit this auction despite the negative reviews:
-- Plan to be there most of the day and  long waiting
--Run CARFAX reports ahead of time
-- Research common issues for the specific make and model you’re looking at.
-- Bring a mechanic who can scan for codes and inspect the car.

Even with a mechanic, it is not foolproof. Ours did not find any codes at the auction, but codes popped up shortly after we left. Sounds suspect.

Financial reality:
The car sold for $5,500. After auction and title fees, insurance, and everything else, my total investment ended up being about $8,000--$8,200. For context, a 2020 Chevy Trax with 103K miles typically sells for around $10,000--$13,000 at a dealer, so yes, I came out below retail, but that savings came with immediate out of pocket repairs, time, stress, and uncertainty right after purchase.

My advice overall:
-- Expect to spend additional money after purchase
-- Set aside (at least) $2,500+ for immediate repairs and other miscellaneous issues
--Know (don't wonder) the car will need work
--Understand their return policy is a joke and extremely limited

Personally, I would NOT recommend this business for anyone needing a reliable, ready to drive vehicle right away. There's no protection, you cannot fully test the car, and an extremely high likelihood of immediate repairs which make it a risky experience.

The car runs, but the amount of work needed immediately after purchase was disappointing. If you choose to play with fire anyway, just go in with your eyes wide open.

Bought our 2007 Cadillac CTS from them. They were straight forward about everything. I didn’t feel like they were trying to sell me a shit car. You get the freedom to walk around the lot without the pressure of a salesman or feeling forced into a long term financial commitment. I have a beautiful car that only needed minor fixes and no high monthly car payment. The ladies in the office were just the sweetest to my whole family. They were so helpful and actually even held the car for me until I could get in the next day. I will definitely be getting all my cars from here. And I tell everyone now to go there. Because what is better then having a reliable car without a crazy high monthly bill to stress over. Love this place.

Selling Junk cars should be illegal.

My daughter worked so hard to save money at 17/18 (her first job). She just graduated high school and going to college in the fall. She purchased a car on Wednesday 5/17 in hopes of helping me to stop paying for a daily rental and so she can get to work.

And of course after getting the car checked the same day she picked it up, on Thursday it’s a head gasket issue.

Nasty work. Yesterday it was a holiday, Friday the auction was closed. The car started smoking taking it to be inspected when picked up. The Mechanic call on her behalf and was told it’s nothing that can be done. Who desires to buy a car that can’t even be driven down the street?

The True Divine God sees and knows all. Thank you for making my beautiful daughter feel like a failure that she made a horrible decision and that her $4500 dollars is a waste after buying a car with engine problems, getting car insurance and tags.

Comic Justice to all whom have been misused, hurt and abused in this way. Shame on all who knowingly do this to honest people while you hide behind paperwork that make it easy to take advantage of innocent people. Now the Universe knows you all need a personal lesson. And as I mother, parent etc you should FEEl where I’m coming from. Or maybe you don’t but one day you will ‼️

If I could I’d give a 0 star rating!!!!!!! I brought an 08 Honda accord they cleared the codes on the car and by the time I was able to get to see what wrong they said it was too late for them to do anything and when the check engine popped up they said it wasn’t even covered I’ve replaced the 02 sensors, throttle body, mass airflow sensor, power steering pump, power steering lines, the entire a/c unit was trashed, the alternator went out, my seat belt sensor doesn’t work, the abs units trashed , the calipers were completely rusted to hell and back ; every single speaker besides one is blown; and the worse part is the check engine light still comes on my car can’t pass inspection and I’ve sunk so much money into the piece of crap
