Our hybrid auction model, including live, Internet and proxy bidding – combined with our mature buyer base and diverse inventory – produce exceptional returns from each sale. With over 25 years in the industry, we hold the most comprehensive warehouse of automotive total-loss auction data.

Our History

Since our founding in 1982, we have been one of the leaders in the salvage auto auction industry and worked to ensure the best value to Buyers and returns to Sellers.

There are over 3.5 million vehicles deemed total-losses each year in the United States. Since 1997, this number has grown significantly, mostly due to vehicle manufacturing changes and improvements including air bags.

Working in partnership with a variety of Sellers including insurance companies, dealerships, rental car companies, and fleet lease companies, IAA works to facilitate the efficient sale of total-loss vehicles. With our extensive network of auction facilities, and our hybrid auction model, vehicles are sold fast and for some of the best possible prices.
