Tidewater Auto Auction Opening End of April
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – Tidewater Auto Auction's (TWAA) new Virginia Beach facility is on track to be open by the end of this month, according to auction officials.
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – Tidewater Auto Auction’s (TWAA) new Virginia Beach facility, which has been delayed by recent storms, should be open by the end of this month.
“A lot of pieces are coming together at the last second and everyone is working hard to make YOUR AUCTION the place to be in the Mid-Atlantic region,” according to Mike Hockett, president of TWAA. “When you step into our new state of the art facility, you’ll feel Tidewater, and when you do business, you’ll feel the friendliness and servant’s hearts of our staff and see the experience and technology that will be second to none. That, combined with us being the ninth largest metropolitan area in the U.S., an area dealer base of 2,579 dealers, the second most stable economic area in the U.S., and the second most popular tourist/beach/historic area on the East Coast, will make Tidewater Auto Auction to be a ‘destination area auto auction.’ ”
The facility’s new address is: 656 S Military Highway, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23464.
