Auction Management Solutions (AMS) finalized partnerships with two more independent operations for business development consulting on Wednesday.

AMS, which was started in early July by industry veterans Tom Stewart and Richard Curtis, now has relationships with Rochester Syracuse Auto Auction in Waterloo, N.Y., and Greater Quad City Auto Auction in Milan, Ill.

Adding these two clients bring the firm’s collection to 10 total locations, including:

—Greater Erie Auto Auction
—DAA Chattanooga
—DAA Murfreesboro
—DAA Memphis
—DAA Huntsville
—DAA Mobile
—Southeastern Auto Auction
—166 Auto Auction

Rochester Syracuse Auto Auction currently offers more than 400 units every week across four auction lanes.  Current consignors include Credit Acceptance/VRS, Element Fleet, Wheels, Union Leasing and several local banks and finance institutions. 

“We are very excited to be a part of this growing group of independent auctions," Rochester Syracuse Auto Auction co-owner Scott Prankie said. “We worked with Tom and Richard before in the past, and once we knew that they were back working with independent auctions, we were happy to be a part of the team.” 

Curtis added, “We have known Scott and Mik (Panavas) for quite a long time. RSAA services a very important part of the country in the Northeast, and when they contacted us about working together, we knew it was a great fit for our firm and our group of auctions.” 

Greater Quad City Auto Auction offers two sales weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  The operation has six lanes, a full reconditioning center and on-site transportation.  Current clients include GSA, ARI, U-Haul, Enterprise and many other local banks and finance institutions. 

“We feel that being a part of the group of auctions that Tom and Richard have assembled will be a very large asset to the growth and development of our auction location,” said Greater Quad City Auto Auction general manager and owner Larry Anderson. “Brad Anderson, our national sales and fleet lease manager, will work closely with AMS on the business development side of the business.” 

Stewart mentioned, “The part of the country that QCAA services offers a lot of great opportunities for them, being in the heart of the Midwest. They can service a lot of territory, covering all of Iowa and Illinois and parts of Wisconsin.”
