ATLANTA -

Go Auto Exchange announced Monday it has purchased United Auto Auction in Houston, giving the company its third location and bulking up its presence in the Southwest.

United Auto Auction — a four-lane location on 11 acres that has been in existence for more than 25 years — has been renamed Go Auto Exchange Houston.

The Texas auction joins Go Auto Exchange’s existing locations in Phoenix and Atlanta. A fourth facility is planned for Orlando this summer.

 “We are very excited about the sale and look forward to working with the Go Auto Exchange team as they continue to grow the sale for local dealers,” said Isaac  Williams. 

Isaac and Jennifer Williams have owned United Auto Auction for the past decade and will remain with the company after the sale to help with the transition.

United Auto Auction general manager Steve Swinford will join Go Auto Exchange and stay in the GM role.

“Our acquisition of United Auto Auction in Houston supports our goal of continuing to serve the lower-value vehicle segment in key markets, while providing independent dealers with added convenience,” said Tim Janego, president of Go Auto Exchange.
