ROCKFORD, Ill. –

Greater Rockford Auto Auction has joined the list of approved auction providers for General Motors and GMAC Remarketing, the physical auction business unit of Ally Financial.

Auction management said GMAC and Ally vehicles are scheduled to be sold weekly at 9 a.m. on Wednesdays, and GM-sponsored auction vehicles are to be sold every other week.

“It’s a new day at GRAA,” declared general manager Mark Capriola.

“This relationship demonstrates our ability to provide a high level of service to GM, GMAC/Ally and our dealers,” Capriola continued. “We are proud of this achievement and embrace the responsibility that comes with it. This opportunity is significant for our dealers, employees and business partners.”

The GM went on to highlight GRAA is expanding its facility and has recently added more space to accommodate the increase in vehicle inventory. To support the new relationship, Capriola indicated the auction created dozens of new jobs and promoted talent from within the organization.

“Joining forces with one of the world’s largest and most prestigious automobile companies confirms GRAA’s ongoing commitment to its customers,” stated Mark Clark, GRAA’s president. “Our experienced staff has made this day possible.”

Auction executives also mentioned GM and Ally/GMAC will help celebrate the inaugural auction sales at GRAA with special incentives and transportation assistance programs.
