Pre-Auction Breakfast
- Upscale-casual breakfast rooms and a lively brunch spot, both a short run from WestWorld
- A local pancake favorite closer still
Post-Auction Celebrations
- The steakhouses along Scottsdale Road and in Kierland
- A resort dining room on the way back to North Scottsdale
Your chauffeur coordinates timing with the auction schedule.
For Sellers and Consigners
Consigning a car changes the logistics. Before the auction we get you to check-in and documentation appointments. On auction day, credentialed consigners get priority access and an immediate departure after the hammer falls. Afterward we cover banking appointments, return trips while the car transfers and the airport run home.
Beyond the Auction
Extend your Scottsdale stay with Verde Valley wine tours, a Grand Canyon excursion, desert golf or Old Town galleries.
