Our car auction has been a fixture in Chelmsford since the 1960's.
The 12-acre site, situated on Junction 19 of the A12, is within easy reach of London, the South-East and East Anglia and is three miles from Chelmsford train station on the mainline to London.
The centre benefits from free customer parking, full valet facilities, café, SMART repair technicians, comprehensive transport and delivery services and a team of staff dedicated to making the vehicle auction process simple, rewarding and profitable.
Aston Barclay Chelmsford holds four regular sales per week, a weekly fleet sale and numerous special sales in its specially built state of the art twin glazed auction halls.
