A subsidiary of the global brand, Impact Auto Auctions Canada provides vehicle suppliers and buyers with powerful solutions to process and sell sell insurance total loss, recovered theft, fleet lease, donation and rental vehicles.

Earlier this year, Impact Auto Auctions introduced the salvage auction industry’s first 360 walk-around digital experience, Impact 360 view.

All Impact branch locations throughout Canada offer Impact 360 View for vehicles twelve years old and newer, unique classics, high-end vehicles and exotics.

Most recently, the company enhanced the 360 view program to include the Feature Tour tool, which allows buyers to quickly and easily identify value-added features and options present on each listed vehicle. The company is also working to add engine start videos to 360-view, allowing buyers to view and listen to a 10-second clip of the engine running.

“For recyclers, it’s huge,” said Vinesh Mistry, director of marketing and communications for Impact Auto Auctions Canada. “The engine and transmission are critical components when considering purchasing a vehicle, so we’re excited to bring that feature to Canada in 2021.”

The platform engages buyers with a vehicle digitally through unique, multiple touchpoints that provide the details needed to make confident online bidding and buying decisions.
