A Better Way to Buy and Sell Vehicles—

Blackmon Auto Auctions

Looking for a great way to buy and sell your next vehicle? Look no further than Blackmon Auto Auctions in Little Rock. Blackmon Auto Auctions emerged on the market earlier this year and have already become a favorite of many. In fact, Blackmon Auto Auction earned the title Best Auto Auction in our Best of DRIVE’n Awards.

Even though Blackmon Auto Auctions opened their doors in March, they are not new to the automotive auction business. “This is really a reinvention of what my dad started back in the 80’s,” explained Thomas Blackmon, Owner. Blackmon runs a number of various auctions throughout 36 states. Their team of auctioneers and managers has over 75 years of experience in the auction industry and automobile industry. “We are like a restored car,” he explained. “We may look like new, but we have decades of experience and a lot of great stories!”

Blackmon Auto Auctions has entered a busy marketplace with a simple promise—to make sure all customers feel important. “It sounds so basic but many companies overlook their most important asset, the customer,” Blackmon said. “Whether buying or selling, the customer’s happiness makes our business

grow which helps our customers succeed.”

Auctions are open to the public and take place every Friday at noon. Consignors can take their cars to Blackmon during the week and park it in their enclosed showroom. There is a $100 fee and consigners can set their own reserve. Sellers must have the title to the vehicle in hand.

Buyers can take advantage of some great vehicle prices each week as well. There is a 5% buyer’s premium and a $200 refundable registration fee. Buyers must have cash or cashier’s check. Personal checks are accepted with a 10% cash down payment on the car and the car and title will be kept at the facility for five days before releasing to the buyer.

The vehicles up for auction will be updated online each week so be sure to shop the inventory beforehand.

Blackmon Auto Auction also offers deep discounts to companies with large fleets. They offer their services if you have a mixed fleet of equipment, trucks, and cars. “Due to our connection with our parent company, Blackmon Auctions, we can assist in


liquidating entire businesses and large fleets of vehicles,” Blackmon said. “Even though we are a small company right now, we have the experience of a multi-million dollar nationwide auction company at our disposal.”

Blackmon Auto Auctions can also help out of state customers. “If you are buying or selling from another state, please contact us and let us assist in setting up transport for your vehicles,” Blackmon said. They have relationships with wrecker services and truck transports from around the region. Whether you are transporting high end cars in an enclosed transport or moving a non-running fixer upper, Blackmon Auto Auctions can make your life easier by handling your shipping for you.

If you are interested in buying or selling with us, please contact Thomas Blackmon at 501-352-4702 or Joel Baker at 501-607-0472 for more information.
