“Mile High Auto Auction was founded to provide dealers with the absolute best service,” said DeBerry. “My partnership with Loveland Auto Auction owners Scott Read and Bart Barnett is making this happen. We have facilities that will house our auction lanes, our full recon, body and mechanical shops, plus indoor parking for 200+ vehicles -- all located off a main access road in south Denver.”

“Mile High Auto Auction is a great opportunity. A lot of amazing forces have come together to create this auction. There hasn’t been a sale in south Denver in over 25 years (since George Lamb’s Colorado Auto Auction on South Sante Fe)," said Bart Barnett. “It’s an exciting time. We are proud of the experienced team we are putting together.”

According to Scott Read, “Our mutual goal is to consolidate not only our experience, but our combined resources and relationships. With so many dealers and so much car business in this area, we are very excited to be in the best place at the right time.”
Mile High Auto Auction will hold sales every Tuesday at 12:00 noon at their newly renovated facilities at 9750 East Costilla Avenue in Centennial, Colorado. DeBerry added “When we calculated our combined time in the auction business, we realized we’re bringing over a hundred years of experience to Centennial!”
CAR’s annual Fleet Remarketing Awards opened a reimagined 2026 conference designed to bridge the worlds of fleet management and automotive remarketing.
The 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing convened with a mandate to involve a new constituency — fleet managers — and an updated mission to demonstrate unrealized value in de-fleeted vehicles.
From a Wall Street analyst's take on remarketing's key players to whether fleets need their own version of Carfax, CAR 2026's afternoon roundtables will answer key operational and industry questions.
The enhanced technology allows rental car operations, dealerships, and auctions to compare a vehicle’s condition at pickup and drop-off within the same rental or loaner record.
A panel at the 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing will examine how resale value is created across the vehicle lifecycle and which traditional remarketing practices still deliver ROI.
Smart operational and spec'ing decisions can dramatically improve both the total cost of ownership during use and the resale value when it's time to remarket day cabs.
