The auctions are held in industrial area. they start in late afternoon, say 3.30 pm. remember that not everyday you get a good variety down there. so i suggest you visit there on weekend (thursday friday) and say one other weekday. this way you get to understand how the thing works and increase you chance of getting a good bargain.

Things to remember
Take a pair of ear muffs. The noise level in the auction are somewhere near that of a jet engine.

IF you dont have enough cash on you. dont worry, get down to al attiya market or the gas station. those are the nearest Atms.

How to get there
i really dont know the roads and streets by their name. however, if you are heading towards mall roundabout from the road on which you have lulu.take a left on the roundabout (R/A) then right on the next roundabout and then left on the large abu hamour R/A head straight down crossing another roundabout. When you get to the gas station, its time you ask a local to help you out with the street number and directions to the car auctions.

cheers
