How we work

Six stages from the first call to license plates. At each one you see where your car is and how much has been spent.

  1. Request & sourcing

    1–2 days

    We discuss your budget, car type and preferences, then send a selection of lots with a turnkey estimate for each.

  2. Lot check

    2–4 hours

    VIN history, photo analysis, hidden damage assessment. You get the report before the bid, not after.

  3. Bid & purchase

    auction day

    We bid within the agreed limit, pay for the lot and the auction fee, and send you the purchase confirmation.

  4. Transport to the port

    7–14 days

    We pick the car up from the yard and truck it to a US port. You see photos of the car before it's loaded into the container.

  5. Ocean & customs

    25–30 days

    Sea freight, port unloading, broker processing and customs clearance. All payments follow the estimate you saw at the start.

  6. Handover

    3–5 days

    Delivery to Lviv, repairs at our service station if needed, state registration and handover with the paperwork.

What we guarantee

  • The estimate doesn't change

    The amount you see at the start is fixed in the contract. Exchange-rate fluctuations on customs payments are agreed separately and in advance.

  • Photos at every stage

    The car at the yard, before loading, at the port, after customs. Not just "everything is fine" — actual pictures.

  • Honest about damage

    If during teardown we find something that wasn't visible in the auction photos — we tell you immediately, with photos and a repair estimate.

Let's start with an estimate

The easiest way to know whether a US car is right for you is to see the full price. It takes a minute.
