They are not able to answer any questions related to a vehicles condition, and auction processes.

Similarly Dealers Auto Auction of Idaho is unable to answer questions related to the condition of the vehicle. Our function in the process is administrative. 

Understanding that many of your questions are related to vehicle condition it makes attending the preview imperative. In the case of the Anchorage vehicles this facility provides a preview on Monday and Tuesday, immediately before the sale ends, from 10 am to 4 pm at the address provided in the listing. It is not necessary to set an appointment, therefore no call is needed. Just show up. In the event that you are unable to attend the preview in person, a contact for 3rd party inspection has been provided below. This contact was obtained by mapquesting the vehicle location address then clicking nearby then searching for mechanics. In the event that they are unable to provide the services you require you can use the same process to determine a different source.

The shipping contacts, as well as the 3rd party inspection maybe able to provide you with contact information or someone able to perform this service, or maybe it's a service they provide.
