WESTCHESTER, Ill. -

Insurance Auto Auctions made its third growth move in the past two months; this time expanding its services at a pair of Ohio facilities.

To respond to the demands of the winter season, IAA expanded its Buckeye State branches in Columbus and Cleveland.

The Cleveland branch, located on 7437 Deer Trail Lane in Lorain, Ohio, has added 9.5 acres as an overflow site. It is scheduled to open on Sunday. IAA has also increased its capacity to service the Columbus area, opening 420 Stimmel Road as an expansion of the existing branch.

"Our goal is to provide the best service to our customers,” IAA chief executive officer and president John Kett said. “The increased capacity in our facilities provides us the ability to serve our customers more quickly and efficiently, particularly during these difficult winter months.”

The newest announcement comes on the heels of Insurance Auto Auctions broadening its footprint into Iowa and Oklahoma as well as reopening of facilities in Rhode Island and Pennsylvania.

Officials pointed out preview and auction times vary for each of IAA’s facilities. For more information on the two newest expansions, call the IAA Columbus branch at (614) 875-7484 or the Cleveland branch at (877) 917-6877, or go to IAA's branch information page at www.iaai.com.
