Speed's Auto Auction in Portland and Hillsboro brings weekly live auto auctions to local buyers, with both on-site and online bidding options. Auction days are every Tuesday at their Portland location, and Thursdays in Hillsboro, with convenient preview times available beforehand. All you need is a $20 annual bidder card for year-round participation across both venues.
To get started, register at Speed's Auto Auction at the counter before auction time. You can then preview vehicles in person, check out details like make, model, and vehicle history, and join the live bidding either in the auction lot or from the comfort of your own home thanks to online streaming.
Here's how to participate step by step:
Step-by-Step: How to Register and Bid
- Obtain your $20 annual bidder card at the door.
- Preview vehicles on Monday and Tuesday mornings in Portland, or Wednesday and Thursday mornings in Hillsboro.
- Decide which vehicles interest you, and review available information and photos.
- Attend the auction on-site, or access the live online stream and bid remotely.
- If your bid is successful, arrange payment and vehicle pick-up as directed by staff.
Pros of Speed's Auto Auction
One major advantage is accessibility—anyone with a valid bidder card can participate, no dealer license required. This opens up affordable auctions to more local buyers who want to score a deal. There's also a wide array of vehicles, from donated cars and fleet vehicles to private party cars and impounds, making it ideal if you're hunting for variety and value.
Cons of Speed's Auto Auction
Technical questions about individual vehicles are not addressed directly. If you're seeking in-depth mechanical information, you must do your own inspection or bring an expert. Past auction data is unavailable, which can make price comparisons tricky if you're new to the auction environment.
Verdict: A Great Choice for Bargain Seekers
With its welcoming atmosphere, easy registration, and variety of vehicles, Speed's Auto Auction is a solid option for anyone wanting a fair shot at quality cars. Just arrive prepared and use the preview times for best results.
