Auction Information and Location
We sell vehicles two ways.
As a Registered Tow Truck Operator, we auction abandoned vehicles under RCW 46.55. These auctions are open to the public, and the list is the same one you are used to seeing on this web-site.
In addition, Lincoln Towing is also a Wholesale Dealer of Used Vehicles. We are NOT licensed to sell these vehicles to the general public. Only dealers, wrecking yards, hulk haulers, and scrap processors, licensed by Washington DOL may bid on these vehicles. We list these vehicles under the heading of “TITLE CARS” as a convenience for those customers.
If you have any questions, please call us at 206-364-2000.
