Chad Anderson, General Manager of GRAA said, "We are proud to officially announce the unveiling of our remodeled auction arena. After 20 years of detailing vehicles in the same building we sell vehicles, we built a separate reconditioning facility allowing us the opportunity to remodel our auction lanes. We wanted to freshen up our sale lanes and provide the best possible space for our customers to conduct business. The response from our customers on the updates to the auction lanes has been nothing short of amazing."
