They continued operations over the years at several locations, including the renowned U.S. Route 1 "Wigwam" in Glen Allen, Virginia, just north of Richmond. The Wigwam auctions continue to be remembered for both the unique items sold and the entertainment value the auctions provided.

Good experience. Brought a tractor from them was it perfect? No I didn’t expect it to be. I got it for the price I wanted to pay fixed what was wrong and I couldn’t be happier. Don’t blame the auction company for something you should have inspected. My advice if you are looking at tractors, dump trucks, backhoes etc. at a auction 8 out of 10 times something is wrong with it. If you can’t fix it don’t buy it

I purchased a fleet truck here as running great. When the truck came in it was smoking rattling horrible engine noise. Nothing was described on the listing of the auction about major issues or at least smoking like that. Purchased the truck in December contacted the auction multiple times over 30 times and emails was brought the run around emails where sent to multiple managers and the owner no answer back. I spoke to Kim multiple times she was very very helpful but she can't do much to have helped me out since shes not the person in charge about these kind of issues. Was avoided to the fullest

I have had a 5 star experience with their Auto Auctions, however I was registered for the real estate auction in advance and had several issues.
The first major issue was having to register multiple times, since I had registered too far in advance. I attended their tax sale prep session which I do recommend as well. The biggest problem was that after having attended this I was under the impression that all of the bumps in the road would be disclosed here, but this is not the case. Your team should be more transparent about your online bidding policy. This is my biggest concern. After arriving

Purchased an Asphalt Zipper missing the 4ft drum, essentially received a trailer for 21K. Was told sorry there is nothing we can do. Scammers! There was no photos of the missing drum and no description indicating this machine was incomplete. We also purchased this during the Covid-19 lock down and Motleys was NOT allowing inspections. So we purchased solely on the description, which obviously did not tell the truth. Spoke with the Ops manager Donnie who said "sorry there is nothing we can do!" Be careful when purchasing from this company, you will get screwed!

We purchased an asphalt zipper through the auction, It was supposed to be a 48" drum and it came with an 18" rigged into place and the description and photos are misleading. Very Very dissapointed with the customer service. A phone from an honest person in the company and work out a solution could easily change my review... but for now i am left with a horrible experience with this company.

As stressful & overwhelming as buying your first home may be, Carly Stratton made the process as fun, organized, and as smooth as possible. She is passionate about her job, transparent, & very goal driven. She was very patient through all of my questions & indecisiveness. And led me to finding my dream home! I couldn’t have picked a better realtor and now friend, to assist me through this process.

I've bought and sold items at all types of their auctions for over 25 years and have been happy. I also inspect most things before I buy them so that I don't overspend. They have always worked with me on the few problems I've encountered. Mark and the rest of the staff are always friendly, respectful and courteous in all of our interactions.

Definitely get what you pay for I've bought at least 10 different trucks/heavy equipment from this auction. Most recent purchase was a 2000 sierra with a month old inspection sticker. Everything ran great but transmission would only make it to 3rd gear cannot go over 40mph needs a brand new tranny worth more than the entire truck. Fluid looked great was no way I would be able to tell it was bad until getting it on the highway. If it looks too good to be true chances are it probably is. The truck I bought before this one made it about 5000 miles before engine blew up was a 4k Bill to replace. Truck
