Insurance Auto Auctions, a hybrid model salvage auto auction company and wholly owned subsidiary of KAR Auction Services, is opening two facilities in Louisiana including Lafayette and New Orleans (Covington, La.) These two facilities complement IAA¹s Baton Rouge branch and create broader coverage throughout Louisiana.

"Our focus at IAA has been to increase our facility footprint because it simply is a win-win for our buyers and sellers alike knowing that we can offer even more vehicles at convenient locations and provide lower transportation costs," says Tom O'Brien, CEO. "We pride ourselves as a 'one-stop shop' for insurers by offering more locations, and provide a comprehensive suite of auction, logistics, and claims services, which maximize salvage returns, lower administrative costs, and ultimately shorten the claims process."

IAA's global buyer base consists of automotive body shops, rebuilders, used car dealers, automotive wholesalers, exporters, dismantlers, recyclers, brokers, and where allowed, non-licensed (public) buyers. IAA auction preview dates and times vary from facility to facility. For more information, go to IAA's Branch Information page at www.iaai.com.
