New York City Auto Auction

Industrial Brooklyn hums with a rhythm all its own. Between repurposed warehouses and the steady pulse of the BQE, New York City Auto Auction operates as the city’s designated hub for municipal vehicle sales.

This government office handles everything from retired police cruisers to sanitation trucks, offering both sealed bids and live auctions. Titles transfer through their system, and all sales are final—no test drives, no returns. The process moves quickly once paperwork clears, so arriving prepared saves time.

You’ll find them at 63 Flushing Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11205, a short walk from the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The area’s mix of old-school industry and newer creative spaces gives it an unpolished energy, though don’t expect the usual retail conveniences. Bring cash or certified checks; they don’t take plastic.
