New AuctionACCESS® Membership Program gives dealers more buying power, security, and control

AuctionACCESS helps dealers and their authorized representatives by streamlining registration at more than 180 wholesale auctions and online channels in North America. It's now easier than ever to register at multiple auctions, maintain accurate records, and prevent wholesale auction access by retail buyers.

"Ten years ago, a typical dealer got most of his vehicles at a single auction," says Chuck Redden, President of AutoTec®, LLC, the company that developed AuctionACCESS. "Today, that same guy may do business with eight competing auctions and online channels to get the inventory he needs. With the latest version of AuctionACCESS, he can identify himself at all those participating auction locations with one card – that reduces the paperwork needed to process his registration."

To maintain a high level of dealer service and prevent unauthorized access, AuctionACCESS will phase in an annual membership fee from March 15 to July 31, 2008. The membership fee for current cardholders is $40 per person for reps and $100 for dealerships. The fee for new members is $60 per person for reps and $150 for dealerships. There will be fee discounts available for early payment.

With this fee comes simplified registration at more than 180 auctions and online wholesale channels, including ADESA and ADESA LiveBlock, Auction Broadcast Company, Auction Pipeline, BSC America, IndependentAuctions.com, Manheim and Manheim Simulcast, ove.com, and ServNet Auctions.

Additional benefits have also been added to the membership. They include identity theft protection, travel accident insurance, and will be continuously updated throughout the membership program.

AuctionACCESS was developed by AutoTec, LLC, a privately held company based in Birmingham, AL. AutoTec provides e-business solutions to the automotive remarketing industry. AuctionACCESS is the industry standard for managing access to wholesale auto auctions. It is currently used by more than 180 wholesale auto auctions across North America, with further expansion into 70 countries around the world.
