Seguin Auto Auction


Seguin Auto Auction is a public auto auction where everyone is welcome. Buy and sell like the dealers do! Incredible deals. Seguin Auto Auction is located in Cicero, Illinois on the corner of Ogden & Central Avenues, just north of I-55. While other cheap car auctions are for dealers only, a public auto auction gives everyone the opportunity to purchase a used vehicle auction-style and get in on some really great public auto sale deals.

Seguin Auto Auction is unique from all other public auto auctions! When you purchase or sell a vehicle, the fees that you pay are going to support the programs and services at Seguin Services. Seguin Services is a charitable, not-for-profit agency serving metropolitan Chicago, striving to integrate, enrich, and empower people with disabilities.  Seguin creates job opportunities and housing options that lead to greater independence for adults with disabilities.  In addition, Seguin helps to find safe and loving homes for children who have disabilities and serious medical or emotional conditions.

Things you should know:

  • Know the Terms of Sale.

  • Cash or credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, Discover & American Express) are accepted.

  • Preview and registration is between 9:00 am – 11:00 am. Auction starts at 11:00 am.

  • Seguin Auto Auction allows you to visit in advance to look over or even test-drive vehicles. You will want to know in advance the condition of the vehicle and how much you are willing to pay.

  • Arrive early to the auction to allow for ample time to register as a bidder, find a good area where you can easily be seen in the public auction by the auctioneer and/or his spotters, and inspect any vehicles one last time.

  • If you are the highest bidder, you must settle your payment with the Clerk as soon as possible; otherwise, you may be at risk of breaking a legal contract and may be charged additional fees.

And like all public auctions, be careful not to get caught up in the bidding war. Know your limits!
