Auction Management Solutions (AMS) announced that earlier this month the firm partnered with Oklahoma Auto Exchange in Oklahoma City for business development consulting.

Oklahoma Auto Exchange started back in 2005, offering a weekly sale every Wednesday morning across four auction lanes, operating in a facility consisting of 128,000 square feet situated on approximately 18 acres of land. The operation currently offers 650 to 700 units weekly. 

OKAEX is a full-service auction with full reconditioning, light mechanical services and in-house transportation.

“We are very excited to be a part of the AMS group of auctions,” Oklahoma Auto Exchange owner Mike Clopton said. “We have spent a lot of time building a great base of dealer consignment business over the last 12 years, as well as some fleet/lease and repossession business, and feel that it is time now to start to expand into focusing on national consignors.

“We feel that AMS can be a great help to achieve our goals,” Clopton added.

The focus of AMS is to provide strategic business development services, with an emphasis on business processes and profitability that aid in the growth and success of client/partner businesses.

AMS was started by industry veterans Tom Stewart and Richard Curtis, and provides consulting and recruiting services to the automotive industry that includes independent auto auctions, service providers and vendors. 

Adding this location brings the firm’s client list to 16 total locations, which also include:

—KASP Auto Auction
—Columbus Fair Auto Auction
—Greater Quad City Auto Auction
—Rochester Syracuse Auto Auction
—Greater Erie Auto Auction
—DAA Chattanooga
—DAA Murfreesboro
—DAA Memphis
—DAA Huntsville
—DAA Mobile
—Southeastern Auto Auction
—Dealers Auto Auction of Idaho
—166 Auto Auction
—All Valley Dealers Auction
—Central Auto Auction

“We are very excited to be working with Oklahoma Auto Exchange,” Stewart said. “Mike and his son Kyle have built a very strong auction in the Midwest, and consignors are looking for strong independent auctions to partner with."

“One of our goals here at AMS is to focus on providing our customers with the best service we can, while working through a proven sales strategy to help them grow their business,” Stewart added.

Clopton closed by saying, “Tom will be working closely with Kyle Clopton, our director of sales, on continuing to build relationships within the industry.”
