IAA provides an industry-leading car auction experience by continually listening to buyer feedback and innovating our auction model. We developed a multi-channel auction to provide the choice, flexibility and convenience our buyers need.

Searching for parts? Searching for something whole? IAA has it covered. We have multiple tools to help connect buyers to the vehicles they're looking for. 

You have flexibility in the way you buy. When it comes to bidding at an auction, IAA gives you a few different options for your convenience.

An informed buyer is a confident bidder and IAA wants our buyers to have all the tools necessary to make decisions on the value of a vehicle. We provide detailed information for every vehicle in our inventory to prepare you for auction. IAA Interact™, our fully digital merchandising platform, gives buyers an enhanced inside-out breakdown of each vehicle so you know exactly what you’re purchasing when placing bids. 

The IAA Buyer App lets you search, bid on, buy and pay for vehicles while you’re on the go. Buyers can access our innovative digital auction tools and receive instant notifications on your mobile device, including alerts when you’ve been outbid, auction status changes, payment notices and more. If you’re an IAA Seller, learn how to efficiently manage inventory using CSAToday. It gives our Sellers the ability to assign vehicles, find estimated salvage values and more anytime, anywhere. Towers and Transporters should download the IAA Tow App to receive notifications when vehicles are dispatched. Learn about the app’s features designed to assist our network of tow partners via your mobile device.

IAA Engine Starts™ video features a 10-second, under-the-hood view with full sound for buyers to assess the engine’s condition as the engine runs.
