IMPACT AUTO AUCTIONS OSHAWA, ONTARIO OPENING, NOVEMBER 27, 2012

Impact Auto Auctions has opened a new location in Oshawa, Ontario, increasing the company’s Greater Toronto Area storage capacity and overall presence. The new Impact Toronto location has 37 acres of vehicle storage and a 12,000 square foot office, auction and inspection building. The addition increases the auto salvage management company’s GTA storage capacity by 60% to 5,500 vehicles. The new site also features office and training space for insurance appraisers, along with an early tow and appraisal area. Impact uses web-based technology, LiveBlock Hybrid Auction, to bring together worldwide online bidders with live ones. Along with its existing online services for insurance, fleet and rental customers, Impact has a new service called Document Express, which it says allows for simplified tracking of branding forms, titles and other sale documents for selling customers. Impact, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KAR Auction Services Inc., now has 14 locations in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada.
