SEATTLE -

The ServNet Auction group is celebrating the addition of its newest member, DAA Seattle, raising the company’s membership count to 32 as it marks its 25th anniversary year. 

Owned and operated by the McConkey Auction Group, DAA Seattle held its grand opening sale on June 25, running six full lanes of dealer-consigned inventory.

“We are delighted to welcome DAA Seattle to ServNet and note with great pride the growth that ServNet continues to experience,” said ServNet president R. Charles Nichols. “Yet we know that the measure of our success goes well beyond the number of our locations across the country. It really boils down to the people we touch, and the effectiveness of the partnerships we develop with customers in the marketplace.

“It is through service that we grow, and we are pleased to recognize that with the addition of DAA Seattle, we are bringing buyers and sellers together in greater numbers than ever before,” Nichols said.  

Bob McConkey owns the startup auction with business partner Greg Mahugh. At the opening sale, McConkey shared local auction industry history including the story of his father, who opened the first wholesale auto auction in the state of Washington in the early 1950s.

“To be in a position to more directly serve customers in the Puget Sound market is something we have longed to do for years,” said McConkey. “We are excited to have the opportunity to expand our reach into Western Washington, and to strengthen the relationships that we have built in the region.

“We are certain that the remarketing community will derive tremendous benefit from the values and best practices of an auction carrying both the McConkey Group and ServNet brands in this part of the Pacific Northwest,” he said.  

Construction of a reconditioning center is under way at DAA Seattle, which will feature capabilities for providing inspections, mechanical work and detail services. The new facility will open later this summer, the company said.
