Four More Auto Auctions Now Accepting AuctionACCESS

AutoTec recently announced that AuctionACCESS, the number-one dealer registration system in North America, has added four more wholesale auctions to its long list of participating locations: Encheres d'Automobiles St-Pierre L'tee (ESP) in Quebec, Canada; ADESA Miami in Opa Locka, Florida; Premier's Las Vegas Auction in North Las Vegas, Nevada; and Sanford Auto Dealers Exchange in Sanford, Florida.

AuctionACCESS streamlines the dealer registration process, enabling dealers to use a single photo ID card for entry at more than 200 participating wholesale auto auctions, including ADESA, America's Auto Auction, Auction Broadcasting Company, Brasher's, BSC America, Manheim, ServNet and numerous independent auto auctions.

"We are excited to have these four new auctions onboard," said AutoTec president Charles Redden. "And excited to provide our dealer members streamlined access to four more buying and selling channels."

AuctionACCESS is also very beneficial for the participating auctions, Redden added, because it allows them to manage their dealer information more quickly and efficiently, which gives them more time and energy to devote to offering superior service to their customers. And in addition to drastically simplifying the dealer registration process, AuctionACCESS also serves as a valuable security measure by denying entry to curbstoners and unlicensed dealers.

Each of the four new locations has already begun accepting AuctionACCESS cards, Redden said. Encheres d'Automobiles St-Pierre L'tee started on September 29th, ADESA Miami began on October 6th, Premier's Las Vegas Auction on October 9th, and Sanford Auto Dealers Exchange most recently on October 20th.
