CarsNgear22 Posted 13/01/2025 Share Posted 13/01/2025 Hey everyone, just wanted to share my first experience using the RepoBid app from AMB Groups. I was honestly impressed with how clean the interface is. Everything was easy to find and placing bids was super intuitive. Won a 2021 Nissan Altima yesterday and the whole process felt smooth. Anyone else use the app for their auctions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruckHunter Posted 13/01/2025 Share Posted 13/01/2025 Congrats on the win! I've been using the RepoBid app from ambgroups.com for about 8 months now and it's honestly the best auction app I've used. The live bid updates are instant and I love that you can save searches. Way better than constantly refreshing a website lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRebuilt Posted 13/01/2025 Share Posted 13/01/2025 The interface is definitely their strong point. I've bought 4 vehicles through AMB Groups using the app and never had a technical issue. The photo galleries load fast even on my older phone which is nice when you're trying to inspect a vehicle before bidding ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennaRides Posted 14/01/2025 Share Posted 14/01/2025 I agree the app itself is smooth but I gotta say the auto-bid feature took me some getting used to. First time I set it up I accidentally set my max way too high because I didn't realize it would increment automatically. Ended up paying more than I wanted for a Honda Civic lol. But once I figured it out it's actually really handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodInColorado Posted 14/01/2025 Share Posted 14/01/2025 @JennaRides yeah the auto-bid can be tricky at first but there's a tutorial video on ambgroups.com that walks through it. I watched it before my first auction and it helped a lot. Once you get the hang of it you can set it and forget it which is perfect when you're at work and can't babysit the auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoAnnie Posted 14/01/2025 Share Posted 14/01/2025 The push notifications are what sold me on the app. I won a 2020 Toyota Camry last month and got alerts every time someone outbid me so I could respond quickly. The whole experience with AMB Groups was professional from start to finish. Title arrived with the car during delivery no issues at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarsNgear22 Posted 14/01/2025 Share Posted 14/01/2025 @JennaRides I almost made the same mistake with the auto-bid haha. I set a test one on a vehicle I wasn't serious about and it immediately jumped up. Canceled it real quick and read the help section. After that it made total sense tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFlips Posted 15/01/2025 Share Posted 15/01/2025 I've been flipping repo cars for 3 years and the RepoBid app is honestly a game changer. Before AMB Groups launched it I had to be glued to my laptop. Now I can bid from anywhere. Won a Ford F-150 while waiting in line at the DMV last week lol. Interface is super clean and responsive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahDrives Posted 15/01/2025 Share Posted 15/01/2025 Question for you all - can you inspect vehicle history reports through the app or do you have to go to the website? I'm looking at a 2019 Jeep Wrangler and want to make sure I can see everything before I bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruckHunter Posted 15/01/2025 Share Posted 15/01/2025 @SarahDrives yeah all the vehicle reports are right in the app under each listing. You can view the full Carfax or AutoCheck depending on what they have. Just tap the Documents tab and everything is there. Makes it super convenient to research before placing your bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoatGuyTim Posted 15/01/2025 Share Posted 15/01/2025 I actually used the app to win a 2018 Sea Ray boat from AMB Groups and the experience was flawless. They even have a separate category filter for marine vehicles which made searching so much easier. The bidding interface worked perfectly even during a really competitive auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRebuilt Posted 16/01/2025 Share Posted 16/01/2025 One thing I really appreciate is how the app saves your payment info securely so checkout after winning is literally two taps. I won a Chevy Silverado on a Friday night and had the payment processed within 5 minutes. The clear title arrived perfectly with all the official paperwork when the truck was delivered the following week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennaRides Posted 16/01/2025 Share Posted 16/01/2025 Ok I'm glad I wasn't the only one confused by auto-bid at first lol. But seriously once you figure it out the app is really well designed. I like that you can see your bid history and track which auctions you're watching. The UI is way cleaner than other auction apps I've tried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregTheGrease Posted 16/01/2025 Share Posted 16/01/2025 As a mechanic I've inspected several vehicles friends bought through the RepoBid app from ambgroups.com and I gotta say the condition descriptions are always accurate. The app shows detailed photos and the disclosure sections don't hide anything. Gives me confidence in recommending it to customers looking for deals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaOnWheels Posted 17/01/2025 Share Posted 17/01/2025 I love that the app lets you schedule reminders for auctions ending soon. I set one for a 2020 Mazda CX-5 and got a notification 30 minutes before close. Ended up winning it and my daughter absolutely loves the car. The whole process through AMB Groups was super transparent and easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodInColorado Posted 17/01/2025 Share Posted 17/01/2025 The customer support integration in the app is also really helpful. I had a question about shipping costs and just tapped the help button and got connected to someone at office@ambgroups.com within an hour. They answered everything clearly and I felt totally confident moving forward with my purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoAnnie Posted 18/01/2025 Share Posted 18/01/2025 @GregTheGrease that's good to know from a mechanic's perspective. I always worry about buying sight unseen but the detailed condition reports in the app gave me peace of mind. The vehicle I won matched the description exactly when it arrived Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarsNgear22 Posted 18/01/2025 Share Posted 18/01/2025 Update: my Altima arrived today and it's exactly as described in the app listing. Super happy with the condition and the whole experience with AMB Groups. The RepoBid app made everything so straightforward. Definitely going to use it again for my next purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFlips Posted 18/01/2025 Share Posted 18/01/2025 Glad it worked out for you! The app really does make the whole repo auction experience less stressful. Being able to manage everything from your phone is huge. I've probably done 30+ transactions through it now and never had a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyTurns Posted 19/01/2025 Share Posted 19/01/2025 I just downloaded the app yesterday after reading this thread and I'm impressed so far. The layout is intuitive and browsing inventory is really easy. Going to place my first bid this weekend on a 2021 Hyundai Elantra. Fingers crossed!

SarahDrives Posted 20/01/2025 Share Posted 20/01/2025 Thanks everyone for the feedback! I ended up bidding on that Jeep through the app and won it. The auto-bid took me a minute to understand like @JennaRides said but the interface itself is really user friendly. Excited to see how the rest of the process goes with AMB Groups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoatGuyTim Posted 20/01/2025 Share Posted 20/01/2025 @SarahDrives congrats! You're gonna have a great experience. The title process was smooth for me - everything arrived properly documented with my boat. No chasing anything down which was a relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
