Buy like the dealers do the 1st & 3rd Saturdays of each month, Powell Auto Auction conducts car auctions with both live and online bidding. Our auto auctions are open to both the general public and dealers. YOU DO NOT NEED A DEALER LICENSE TO ATTEND OR BID IN OUR AUCTIONS! 

At our auctions, you will find quality used vehicles of all makes and models being sold for prices that typically only dealers see. The vehicles being sold come from individual consignors, estates, dealers, repossessions, bankruptcies, and charitable donations. We do not just specialize in individual vehicles, but also allowing companies to quickly dispose of a fleet of vehicles when no longer needed.

Our auto auctions allow you to bid on vehicles live in person or online from your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Vehicles being sold in the next auction will be uploaded to view online by 5:00PM (ET) on the Thursday before the auction. You may come to our facilities located at 6723 Pleasant Ridge Road, Knoxville, TN 37921 (located behind the Clinton Highway

Powell Auction & Realty

Wal-Mart) between the hours of 9:00AM to 5:00PM (ET) on the Friday before the auction to view the vehicles being sold on Saturday. Doors open at 8:00AM on the 1st & 3rd Saturdays of each month to view the vehicles again prior to the auction starting at 9:00AM. When the auction starts, the vehicles are driven through the sale lanes just like they do on collector car auctions you see on TV.

Powell Auto Auction was the 1st Public Auto Auction in the state of Tennessee and is the only Public Auto Auction in the Knoxville area. Since its start, Powell Auto Auction has sold over 30,000 vehicles at auction. With over 100 vehicles offered in each auction, there is no lack of inventory to choose from. We sincerely appreciate your business!

SELL YOUR VEHICLE IN OUR NEXT AUCTION
Did you know that it only costs an individual $50 to sell their vehicle at Powell Auction? The deadline for bringing a vehicle to be sold is the Thursday before the auction at 12:00PM – Noon (ET); however, we recommend that sellers get their vehicle(s) to be sold to our facility as soon as they can before the auction. We want to have the greatest amount of time to market and advertise your vehicle prior to the auction. Powell Auto Auction wants to ensure you get the top dollar for your vehicle(s).
