CARY, N.C. -

In the aftermath of the storms that hit Tennessee early Tuesday, Manheim provided an update Friday afternoon on its Nashville-area location.

Manheim Nashville is still closed, but it has accounted for all 619 of the auction’s employees, the company said.

“With several buildings on our property severely damaged, services such as reconditioning are not available. We are working very closely with clients to find alternative solutions,” Patrick Brennan, senior vice president of Manheim Marketplace, said in a statement.

“For safety reasons, property access is restricted to emergency personnel and limited Manheim staff,” he said. “We are working as quickly as we can to resume operations and ask our clients to please refrain from visiting our facility at this time.”

Brennan went on to express Manheim’s best wishes and prayers for those impacted by the storms.

“Our Manheim Nashville family has been truly moved by the outpouring of support we’re receiving from Cox and Manheim teams and our industry partners who have rallied to help,” he said. “This is a true embodiment of the Cox spirit and industry camaraderie, and we couldn’t be more grateful.”

Elsewhere in the used-car business, e-commerce company RumbleOn said Wednesday it was assessing damages to its greater Nashville facilities and inventory.

The company said chief executive officer Marshall Chesrown and chief operating officer Peter Levy were at the Nashville facilities Tuesday morning and executed RumbleOn’s assessment and recovery plans.

RumbleOn said it has insurance facility and inventory damage in addition to business interruption insurance and is currently reviewing those coverages with its providers.

“The well-being of our people and our community is our primary concern and we are thankful for the safety of our employees and their families,” Chesrown said in a news release. “We will provide an update on our recovery plan once we’ve completed our assessment of damages sustained to our facilities and inventory.”

Meanwhile, in an online post Tuesday, U-Haul said it was providing affected Middle Tennessee residents with 30 days of free self-storage.

“Many of our neighbors are facing devastation and a long road of clean-up and recovery,” Jeff Porter, U-Haul Company of Nashville president, said in the post. “Some people may need a secure place to stow their belongings in the coming days. We are able to help by making our facilities available at no cost for one month.”
