A startup auto auction is moving into new territory for the first time.

Salvato Auctions, an online auction for salvage vehicles, announced its plan for a “strategic expansion” with current customers into the Midwest region, scheduled to launch in the second quarter.

Salvato began operations in August, with all vehicles auctioned located in Texas. The expansion will bring its services to Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Wisconsin, the company said, as well as additional neighboring states based on market demand.

In a news release, Salvato said its digital lien and title process for total loss claims eliminates physical paperwork in all 50 states, and added its move from its original market “expands Salvato Auctions’ ability to supply insurance vehicles with lower auction fees to a diverse buyer base around the world.”

“Every insurance carrier across the U.S. wants to reduce cycle time, improve salvage returns and deliver a better claims experience,” Salvato CEO and co-founder Peter Jebson said. “We have proven with current customers that our model gets policyholders paid and vehicles titled four to six weeks faster, which drives a better experience for policyholders and adjusters, and higher net returns for vehicles.”
