AQR

Alliance Quality Rating System

The Alliance Quality Rating (AQR) is your trusted preview to knowing exactly what you will get at our auctions. We get up close and personal with the vehicles so you do not have to.

Quality Assurance Guaranteed*

AQR is Alliance Auto Auction’s easy-to-use rating scale for vehicle condition levels, providing our customers with a simple reference guide to gauge the quality of each vehicle without having to see it in person.

Condition areas reviewed and graded include the interior, exterior, frame, and mileage and the scale ranges from Like New to Inoperable. The AQR rating for each vehicle will be prominently displayed on the windshield making it easy to see. Our run lists will also now include the AQR seal next to each vehicle so buyers can easily plan their purchasing in advance of the sale.

* The Alliance Quality Rating (AQR) guarantees the cosmetic condition level of our vehicles. Please call for guarantee details. For total quality assurance, also check out our Post Sale Inspection (PSI) options for a full mechanical review.
