Meet Our
Family
When you're here, you're family.
Since 2008, the Watson family has built more than an auction house — they've built a community where every dealer, buyer, and seller is treated like one of their own. Get to know the people behind the block.

Our Story
A Family Business
Built on Trust
“When You’re Here,
You’re Family.”
We can’t choose our family, but we can choose who we treat as family. Since 2008, Big Valley Auto Auction has chosen customers over everything. From Louisiana, where the Watson family originated, to our home in the Rio Grande Valley, there is room for all auto dealers — and all are welcome.
Whether you’re a buyer, a seller, experienced or a first-timer, you’ll find a team that knows your name, remembers your inventory, and goes out of their way to make every auction day feel less like business and more like a reunion.
Rooted in Louisiana, grown in the Valley. The Watson family brought their values from the Gulf Coast south to the Rio Grande Valley, where Big Valley has been a trusted partner to dealers throughout South Texas since 2008.
The Team
The People Behind the Block
Every auction runs on people. Our team brings decades of combined experience in auto sales, title work, transportation, and reconditioning — and they show up for you every single week.
What Drives Us
Our Values
Every decision starts with one question: is this good for our dealers? When you’re family, you don’t cut corners — you go the extra mile.
No hidden fees. No surprises on the block. Our pricing is posted, our process is open, and our word is our bond — every auction day, every transaction.
We’re not a chain or a franchise. We’re a Rio Grande Valley business, committed to the dealers, the economy, and the people of South Texas.
