“We are extremely proud and excited to join forces with Auctions In Motion. George Pero and his team have built a company that has earned a national reputation as ‘the auction that comes to the dealer’ while providing superior service and competitive pricing,” says AAAG CEO Bill McIver. “AAAG has also met dealer’s changing needs with more than 10 mobile or ‘Private Label’ auction operations, making this a great fit with our overall corporate business model. The joint strengths and values of both our companies grow from an unsurpassed passion for customer service. This union will benefit our customers, partners and employees."
