— Rochester Syracuse Auto Auction
— Greater Erie Auto Auction
— DAA Chattanooga
— DAA Murfreesboro

“We are very excited to be a part of the AMS group of auctions,” AVDA owner Victor Soghomonian said. “We have made a considerable investment into focusing on national accounts, and feel that Tom and Richard can be a great help in helping us achieve our goals.

“Tom and Richard will work closely with myself and my sons to identify new business opportunities as well as continuing to solidify existing relationships with our current consignors,” Soghomonian continued.

AVDA was started back in 1986 and is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.  AVDA offers two sales weekly across four auction lanes on more than 30 acres of land.  The operation offers more than 1,000 units weekly with sales on Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings. 

AVDA is a full-service auction with full reconditioning, including in-house transportation services and an in-house repossession service. It is located in the San Fernando Valley, just outside of North Hollywood, Calif.

“We are very excited to be working with ADVA,” Stewart said. “Victor and his team have built a very strong auction in southern California, and now with less independent auction options for consignors in that part of the country, there is real opportunity for them to become a real powerhouse in that market.

“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.
