IAA Announces First Quarter 2018 Opening of New Seattle Branch
November 09 2017 - 2:15PM
Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc. (IAA), a business unit of KAR Auction
Services (NYSE:KAR), announced the construction of a new facility
near Seattle, Washington. The new branch, scheduled to open in the
first quarter of 2018, is strategically located in Puyallup,
Washington – approximately 40 miles south of Seattle. The new
140-acre branch consolidates the existing IAA Seattle and IAA
Seattle South locations into one facility – more than doubling the
capacity for inventory.
“With the growing volume of our clients in the
north west, this expansion will help us continue to offer our best
in class customer service and auction experience to our clients,”
said John Kett, CEO and president of IAA. “The new branch will
allow us to host a single, dual lane weekly auction and offer
greater inventory selection to our buyers in the area. Our new
space and streamlined schedule will help our employees further
serve our selling and buying customers.”
The new IAA facility will include a
state-of-the-art Vehicle Inspection Center (VIC) with covered
vehicle inspection areas and ample space for on-site insurance
customer staff. It will host its auctions on Wednesdays, with
preview days held every Tuesday. Please check IAAI.com for opening
dates and hours of operation.
