The Greater Kalamazoo Auto Auction (GKAA), an XLerate Group auction, proudly celebrated its 40th year Anniversary on April 21. Over $15,000 in cash and prizes were awarded to the dealer customers who attended the sale. Every Thursday, GKAA holds its dealer sale at 10am, with 600+ dealers in attendance.

In December 2015, the auction added an additional FASTART Sale on the first and third Thursday of every month that begins at 9am. Dealer attendance and vehicles run has been at capacity with all of these special FASTART events.

Greater Kalamazoo Auto Auction proudly stands at the “Crossroads of Michigan” as one of the premier auto auctions in the Midwest. Every Thursday, eight action-packed lanes offering Auction EDGE Simulcast draw a consignment of 800-900 vehicles from all over the region, consisting of fleet, lease, bank repossessions, new, and used dealer vehicles.
