What type of dealers are on Bidbus?
Bidbus works with vetted, licensed franchise and independent dealerships.
Bidbus connects you with a trusted network of certified and accredited dealerships, ranging from major national franchise groups to respected independent local dealers; ensuring safe, legally compliant, and competitive offers.
Overview
Bidbus is built around a trusted, highly vetted dealership network. To get you the best possible price for your vehicle, we partner with both franchise dealerships and independent dealers.
That means when you list your car, your offers come from established names you already know—including national groups like Lithia Motors, Sonic Automotive, and Norm Reeves, as well as respected local stores like Rock Honda, Longo Toyota, DCH Tustin Acura, and DCH Honda of Oxnard.
Additionally, our network includes highly rated, accredited independent dealerships that specialize in acquiring quality used vehicles. Regardless of their size, every single dealer on our platform is certified and required to strictly follow state laws to operate as a licensed dealership in their respective states (such as California or Texas).
Why this matters
By partnering with a diverse mix of strictly vetted franchise and independent dealers, Bidbus ensures:
Verified Buyers: Every offer comes from a certified, state-licensed professional buyer.
Legal & Safe Transactions: All of our dealers are accredited and strictly follow state dealership laws and DMV regulations, ensuring your paperwork and payoffs are handled legally and correctly.
Maximum Competition: Having both franchise stores and independent buyers on the platform means more competition for your specific vehicle, resulting in the strongest possible cash offers.
In short
