Our standard service includes picking up your surplus vehicles within a 700-mile radius from Houston, Texas and transporting them to our 3 acre Auction facility located at 4621
Gasmer Drive, Houston, Texas 77035. After arrival, a detailed condition report is prepared for each vehicle. After the paperwork is completed, we determine if any minor repairs such as a battery replaced or a flat tire repaired is needed and make these repairs as necessary. If more than $50.00 in repairs is required, and we feel it will be beneficial to the sale of the vehicle, we will contact you for the approval to go forward with these repairs. These charges will then be deducted from the gross sales price at the time of settlement. The vehicles are then thoroughly cleaned inside and outside in preparation for inclusion in our next auction.

We conduct an auction every 4 weeks at our auction facility at 4621 Gasmer Drive, Houston, Texas 77035. In order to assure maximum exposure of your vehicles to potential buyers, an Auction Flyer is mailed one week in advance of the auction to over 1000 of our permanent buyers nationwide, thus assuring a large number of serious bidders at each auction

After the auction, a detailed computer generated sales invoice is prepared for each vehicle sold. This sales invoice and a check for the net proceeds are then presented to you in exchange for the titles. We perform all title work and copies of these transactions are kept on file for future reference.

C. J. Stommel & Associates carries substantial liability insurance as well as collision, comprehensive and workmen's comprehensive insurance. These policies take effect at the time we pick up your vehicle.
