“The new facility will help us continue to offer our best-in-class customer service and auction experience to our clients in east central Michigan,” Kett said. “At IAA, we are always working to improve the customer experience, and this new facility, with the latest auction technology, allows us to upgrade the buying and selling experience for our customers who previously visited our Bay City facility. This new location in the metropolitan area of Flint also provides more convenience for both our employees and customers.”
The new IAA facility in Flint replaces the IAA Great Lakes facility in Bay City, Mich. IAA Flint will host auctions on Tuesdays, with preview days held every Monday, according to the announcement.
