Insurance Auto Auctions has opened its third location in the Houston metro area.
The new location, IAA Houston South, sits approximately 35 miles from Houston and will strategically enhance the company's ability to serve the growing metropolitan area and the coastal Texas areas, the company announced.
"Texas is one of our largest markets," said John Kett, CEO and president of IAA. "This branch offers more than 125 acres of capacity and will help us serve the growing volume from our customers, as well as provide support for potential catastrophic weather events."
IAA Houston South will feature vehicle auction technology such as a vehicle check-in area designed for IAA 360 View imaging and IAA inspection services. The new branch will also include a vehicle inspection center space for insurance clients.
So far in 2019, IAA has expanded over 11 facilities. It also opened a new facility in Lexington, South Carolina.
