Impact Auto Auctions Opens Canada's Largest Auto Salvage Auction in Edmonton

"Today we continue our expansion in northern Alberta with the official opening of our largest facility to date," said Terry Daniels, Impact's Managing Director. "We are extremely excited about delivering an enhanced service experience to our customers in this market, and look forward to continuing our support of the Greater Edmonton business community and our local community partners for many years to come."

Designed with an elevated customer experience in mind, Impact Edmonton features a large buyer reception and service area, a series of dedicated appraisal offices, and Impact's dual auction lane configuration which saves buyers time by enabling them to safely view multiple auction vehicles at once. The new site also increases the company's vehicle capacity in the market by 50 percent, enabling Impact to consolidate its Greater Edmonton operations into a single facility. 

"On behalf of Parkland County Council, we are pleased to welcome Impact Auto Auctions to Acheson," said Mayor Rod Shaigec. "Acheson is a growing industrial hub just west of Edmonton and home to a variety of growing businesses. We're looking forward to building a great relationship with Impact and working together to enhance the local economy."

Supporting local communities is a priority for Impact and as part of the grand opening celebrations, Impact donated $10,000 to the local Canadian Red Cross which continues to support families and individuals recovering from the Fort McMurray wildfires.  Over the summer, Impact employees also worked with local authorities to remove more than 1,000 vehicles in the region, an essential first step in beginning the cleanup and rebuilding effort in the community.
