Helping source value with confidence
For many people building a life or business in Australia, the automotive industry offers real opportunities, from repair workshops and parts businesses to vehicle resale and export.
IAA is a global online marketplace giving registered buyers access to salvage vehicles. These vehicles are often purchased by repairers, wreckers, dismantlers, mechanics, exporters and other professional buyers who may repair, resell or use them for parts.
While these vehicles have been assessed following an incident or claim, many still retain substantial value. Some may have cosmetic damage, repairable damage or reusable parts, creating opportunities for buyers looking to repair, recycle or repurpose vehicles and components.
A smarter way to source
For automotive businesses, skilled tradespeople and professional buyers building networks in Australia and overseas, access to reliable vehicle stock can make a real difference to business costs, repair margins and parts availability.
IAA provides access to a wide range of salvage vehicles, including family cars, SUVs, commercial vehicles and late-model vehicles. This creates opportunities to source stock, secure parts, restore vehicles for resale or support customers looking for more cost-effective repair options.
For buyers with established supply chains or international connections, salvage vehicles can help meet demand for quality parts in other markets. With detailed listings, high-quality images and online bidding, IAA makes it easier to find and secure the right vehicles for a variety of customer needs.
Take out the guesswork
One of the biggest concerns when buying a salvage or used car is uncertainty. IAA aims to remove that uncertainty, ensuring customers know exactly what they are getting.
IAA provides detailed information on every vehicle so buyers can make informed decisions before placing a bid. This includes:
• Engine Starts™ videos so buyers can hear the engine running
• 360-degree interior and exterior views
• High-definition images from multiple angles
• Structured condition reports outlining damage and key details
This level of detail and transparency allows buyers to inspect vehicles online as thoroughly as possible before placing a bid. The entire process, from browsing to bidding, can be completed online, making it simple and accessible from a range of devices.
A global platform with local reach
IAA is an RB Global company and a leading international digital marketplace, connecting vehicle buyers and sellers across more than 170 countries and bringing over 40 years of global experience.
In Australia, IAA has a growing platform with multiple branches and connections to dozens of salvage yards, ensuring a steady supply of vehicles across major cities and regional areas.
“We aim to uphold global quality standards while making it easier for local buyers to find vehicles through a trusted and transparent platform,” IAA APAC Managing Director Charles Cumming said.
Getting started is simple
IAA’s platform is designed to be easy to use. Buyers can register online, browse available vehicles, build watchlists and place bids, all from their phone or computer. It is a simple, modern approach to salvage vehicle buying that offers flexibility, transparency and value for all involved.
