Impact Auto Auctions Ltd., a business unit of KAR Auction Services, has purchased the assets of Sudbury Auto Auction (SAA).
The business, which covers 17 acres and serves the northern Ontario fleet and dealer communities, will continue to operate under the Sudbury Auto Auction name going forward, said Impact Auto Auctions.
Owners Dale and Lynda Harnden will also support and consult with SAA during and after the transition, said Impact Auto Auctions. SAA has operated in the Sudbury community since 1986 as a family-owned business.
“We are excited to be adding the talented team at Sudbury Auto Auction to our national auction network,” said Terry Daniels, Managing Director at Impact Auto Auctions, which operates 14 auction facilities in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada.
“Owners Dale and Lynda Harnden have been great partners for more than 23 years in helping to develop and serve the northern Ontario salvage market. We look forward to leveraging the strengths of both businesses and continuing the great tradition of whole car services that SAA is known for in this important market,” Daniels added.
“We felt honoured to be asked to formally join Impact Auto Auctions,” said Dale Harnden. “We’re excited about this opportunity and we expect this relationship will only grow stronger in the years to come.”
