Why Ilwaco Buyers Choose Rockhound Auto

Transparent pricing, a flat $250 doc fee, and vehicles actually inspected for the weather you'll be driving in.

Flat $250 Doc Fee — No Surprises

Oregon caps doc fees at $150 by law, and we charge a flat $250 all-in — far below the $300–$500+ many Washington dealerships tack on. The price you see is the price you pay. We handle all cross-state paperwork so you can register in Washington hassle-free.

Built for Cape Disappointment Weather

Every vehicle we deliver to the Ilwaco service area is inspected for wind, rain, and salt air durability. We check seals, undercarriage, and electrical systems. If it can't handle a drive to the lighthouse in February, it doesn't make our lot.

Free Delivery to Ilwaco

Live in Ilwaco, Long Beach, or anywhere on the peninsula? We'll bring the car to you anywhere in the Ilwaco service area. No need to coordinate rides or take time off work. We handle the logistics so you don't have to.

Locals Helping Locals

We're not some Seattle dealer trying to dump inventory on peninsula buyers. We live on the coast. We know the roads, the weather, and what actually holds up. If we sell you junk, we'll see you at the Port. Reputation matters.
