Time-sensitive pickup before storage fees start
Auction purchases come with release periods. Tell us your pickup window when requesting a quote — we prioritize dispatch and look for carriers who can meet it.
01
Vehicle released
Release documents and authorizations ready.
02
Share your window
Tell us the storage deadline up front.
03
Priority dispatch
We look for available carriers on your route.
04
Pickup & transit
Collected on the scheduled pickup date.
Priority dispatch does not guarantee a specific pickup date — timing depends on carrier availability, route, release status, appointments, and loading needs.
Non-running auction vehicle? Here’s how it’s loaded
Salvage, accident-damaged, mechanical problems or missing keys — the loading method depends on what the vehicle can still do.
Does it roll, steer, and brake?
Yes
Winch-assisted loading
If it doesn’t start but its wheels roll and it can steer and brake, a winch-equipped carrier can load it — common for engine or battery problems.
Tell us if keys are available.
No
Forklift-assisted loading
If it can’t roll, steer, or brake, standard winching may not be suitable. Forklift-assisted loading or another specialized solution may be needed.
Contact a support agent before booking — forklift availability must be confirmed.

From purchase to pickup
Buying from an auction or online marketplace can be a great opportunity — but getting the vehicle to its destination takes proper coordination.
KA MegaTrans arranges pickups from auctions, dealerships, private sellers, and other locations across the U.S. From running vehicles to inoperable cars that need specialized loading, our network of licensed and insured carriers finds suitable options for each shipment.
What information is needed for auction pickup?
Auction facilities have their own procedures for releasing vehicles to carriers. Depending on the auction and vehicle, we may need:
Auction name and pickup location
Lot number or VIN
Buyer or account information
Release documents or authorization
Pickup appointment details
Gate pass or release instructions
Vehicle keys, if available
Loading requirements and condition
Your responsibility
Customers provide the release documents, authorizations, and accurate pickup information required by the auction or seller. We use them to coordinate with the assigned carrier.
Direct pickup from private sellers and dealerships
Many purchases happen on Facebook Marketplace, eBay Motors, Cars.com, at independent dealerships, or directly from private sellers. We coordinate door-to-door transport from the seller to your home, dealership, business, or another approved destination.
For private sales, make sure the seller knows the pickup arrangements and is available — or has authorized someone else. For dealerships, confirm the vehicle is ready and any paperwork or authorization is complete.
Transport isn’t a purchase transfer
Handle payment, ownership documents, and release requirements directly with the seller — transportation doesn’t replace the legal requirements of buying a vehicle.
Door-to-door delivery to your preferred location
After pickup, the vehicle travels to the agreed destination — a residence, dealership, business, or other approved location. Some auction facilities and residential streets limit where a large truck can stop; if the exact address isn’t safely accessible, a nearby meeting point is arranged.

Your support agent confirms pickup and delivery details before dispatch.
