In-Operable & Salvage Transport

That’s where our expertise comes in. Auction Auto Shippers (a division of NX, LLC) specializes in moving the tough stuff—flood cars, wrecked vehicles, no-key units, and total losses—without surprises. We match the right equipment, disclose all surcharges up front, and make sure you don’t get caught off guard with storage or re-load fees.

How In-Op & Salvage Transport Works

Step 1 — Share the details. Send us the auction branch, Lot #, VIN, and gate pass. Tell us clearly: does it roll? steer? brake? have keys? tires/wheels?

Step 2 — Right equipment, first time. We dispatch carriers with winches, forklift arrangements, or lift-gate/low-angle trailers depending on the condition.

Step 3 — Pickup & delivery. Driver checks in at the auction yard, loads under yard policy, and provides a photo condition report. At delivery, you inspect and sign off.

Do forklift fees come from you or the auction?
If the yard charges, those fees are passed through at cost and disclosed in your quote.
