Auctions - Lien Sales

The responsibility of serving the City of Los Angeles as an OPG extends beyond the towing and storage of impounded vehicles. The OPG’s must also conduct weekly lien sale auctions to dispose of vehicles not redeemed. The disposition of vehicles and lien sale process is considered one of the most important areas of responsibility for an Official Police Garage.

Weekly lien sale vehicle auctions are conducted by each OPG. While the vehicles are sold as is, many customers find great values at OPG lien sale auctions. OPG public auctions are conducted and regulated under the authority of the California Department of Motor Vehicles, Civil Code Sections 3071 & 3072. Through auctions, the OPG’s also act as a collection entity for the City of Los Angeles and State of California. For vehicles that are sold for more than the charges against them, the OPG’s remit the excess fees to either the City of Los Angeles for delinquent parking citation fees due or the remaining balance of the overage to the State of California, Department of Motor vehicles. These auctions give the public the opportunity of purchasing vehicles at reduced prices and enable the city to recoup fees owed to them.
