Insurance Auto Auctions Inc. has opened a new facility in Flint, Mich. for its salvage auctions, the KAR Auction Services division has announced.
The new location is located in Bruchmühlbach-Miesau, near Mannheim, Germany.
Due to the areas affected being less densely populated than cities affected by recent hurricanes such as Florence, Irma, and Harvey, the impact on the auto industry will be less severe than those hurricanes.
Insurance Auto Auctions (IAA) is expanding the launch of its new towing app to aid towing and hauling contractors transporting vehicles impacted by Hurricane Florence and the resulting flooding.
After the heavy rains brought by Florence to the Carolinas stopped, estimates about the number of vehicles that were destroyed by the storm began to roll in that made it clear the storm would have far less of an impact that the pair of storms that reached Texas and Florida a year ago.
Insurance Auto Auctions has taken steps to prepare its auctions for Hurricane Florence with lessons the company's leaders learned from last year's hurricanes, said John Kett, the company's chief executive and president.
Copart will expand its Tucson, Ariz. location, due to a growth in volume, the salvage auction specialist announced.
Salvage auction specialist Copart has acquired Autovahinkokeskus Oy, a salvage auto auction company based in Finland, the company announced.
Copart expanded its Greenwell Springs, La., location to increase asset capacity in an area of the country that that is prone to hurricanes.
