About Us
Our Story
Along with the automotive industry, throughout the years we have gained extensive experience appraising and liquidating construction companies, fabrication facilities and retail inventories. We also have been called upon to auction vehicle inventories, schools, restaurants and equipment rental companies. Our clients consist of law firms, automotive manufacturers, dealership groups, individual business owners and lending institutions.
All aspects of our auctions and appraisals are personally overseen by Daniel and Ellie Clar. We understand that when a client chooses to buy, sell or liquidate a business, there is only one opportunity to do it right.
Daniel Clar Auctioneers conducts live auctions and appraisal services on site at our client’s place of business. Our office is located in Placerville, California with a satellite office in the San Francisco Bay Area. We service clients throughout the United States.
