The ServNet Auction Group announced the recent expansion of its family of auctions with its 32nd auction location, Brasher’s Fresno Auto Auction. The California location was recently purchased by the Brasher family and hosted its first Brasher’s sale on Friday, Jan. 16.

“It is with great pleasure that we welcome the newest member of the ServNet Auction Group,” said Patty Stanley, ServNet’s president. “Expansion from within is indicative of the strength and vitality of our member auctions, and we’re excited to extend our footprint into this thriving automotive market.”

Family business member and president of Brasher’s Sacramento, John Brasher, says he’s looking forward to expanding the business’s market presence to help dealers in the Fresno area, with the new addition retaining the leadership of its founder, Larry Champagne, who will remain at the location as the general manager.

“The Fresno auction is a great opportunity for us and we’re looking forward to working with Larry and the great team he has put together,” Brasher said. “With more than 40 years in the central California auto business, as both a wholesaler and used car dealer, Larry is a great asset to us and we know we’ll benefit from his experience and knowledge of the market. The auction is a great location, with a tremendous potential for growth, and we anticipate developing another great Brasher’s auction in Fresno, following the regional model we established with such success several years ago at Brasher’s San Jose Auto Auction.”

The auction will host its weekly sales every Friday at 10 a.m. PST while also hosting Brasher’s weekly UVA BookSheet Sale every Thursday at 12:30 p.m. PST. For more information about Brasher’s Fresno Auto Auction, visit its website.
