WESTCHESTER, Ill. -

Insurance Auto Auctions recently announced the expansion of both its Savannah and Tifton facilities in Georgia, two of its seven locations in the state.

"The Savannah and Tifton expansions advance our pace of proactive operational growth in this important marketplace to better serve our loyal base of buyers and sellers," IAA chief executive officer and president John Kett said in a news release. 

"Our ability to provide day-to-day storage and services, and additional capacity as needed due to severe weather events, provides unmatched value to our customers."

The Savannah facility is adding approximately 30 acres and the Tifton site is adding approximately 19 acres to accommodate additional volume due to customer needs as well as potential volume resulting from catastrophe  responses.

The Tifton facilities proximity to the Florida Panhandle allows for a quick response when severe weather incidents occur in the area.

Both locations are currently open for business. The Savannah location holds its weekly auctions on Fridays at 9:30 a.m. and at Tifton auctions take place weekly on Mondays at 9:30 a.m.
