The Sacramento Auto Auction was founded in 1956 by Jim and Esther Loupe, who ran the two-lane facility in West Sacramento until 1978, when it was purchased by the Brasher family. The Brashers operated the auction in its West Sacramento location until October of 1986, expanding it to four lanes before moving to a new 42-acre, 8-lane full-service facility in Rio Linda, just north of downtown Sacramento. Today, the auction encompasses 100 acres, operates 16 lanes, and handles more than 2,000 vehicles at its weekly dealer consignment sale. In addition, the auction also holds a monthly GSA Sale which is open to the public as well as the auction’s dealer base. Brasher’s Sacramento Auto Auction is one of the founding members of ServNet, which was established in 1987.

At the heart of Brasher’s Sacramento Auto Auction’s operations is adherence to the company’s slogan, “All we sell is service, but the service we sell is the best!” The auction’s commitment to service is evident throughout the facility, from the detail, reconditioning and title departments to the auction’s dealer financing program, Western 500 Warranty and 12-Month Odometer Protection Plan. The facility’s comfortable restaurant offers varied menus at reasonable prices.

Brasher’s commitment to service is also evident in the many commendations and awards it has received throughout the years from its customers. Brasher’s Sacramento Auto Auction has been consistently rated one of Ford Motor Company’s top auctions in the Ford Auction Quality Program since 1992, winning the coveted Golden Gavel Award in 1997, 1999, 2001 and 2002.

In 1996, the Sacramento Auto Auction introduced a new double-block configuration in the auction arena, which runs two groups of cars in a single physical lane. With complete auction blocks at both ends of the lane, vehicles sold in the two double-block lanes at the Sacramento Auction are seen by a larger number of buyers. The speed of the sale is regulated with traffic lights which maintain an optimum rate.
