America’s Auto Auction, the fastest-growing auction group in North America, announced the acquisition of Victoria Auto Auction, marking the company’s twenty-third acquisition in the past three years.
Welcoming Victoria Auto Auction into the America’s Auto Auction network represents another achievement in the growth strategy that has rapidly expanded the company’s footprint. Through a combination of strategic acquisitions and organic growth, the company has continued to strengthen its presence in key markets while building one of the industry’s largest auto auction groups.
“Twenty-three acquisitions in three years is a reflection of our commitment to building one of the strongest auction networks in the industry,” said Chuck Tapp, CEO of America’s Auto Auction. “Victoria Auto Auction represents the type of partner we’ve sought throughout that growth journey: a respected operation with deep customer relationships and a proven track record of service.”
Founded in 1987, Victoria Auto Auction has served dealers throughout South Texas for nearly four decades. Family-owned and operated since its founding, the auction has built its business around personalized service, strong dealer relationships, and a commitment to helping customers succeed. With nearly 100 years of combined industry experience among its staff, Victoria Auto Auction has earned a reputation as a trusted wholesale marketplace throughout the region.
Following the acquisition, the operation will transition to America’s Auto Auction Victoria, while maintaining the people, relationships, and customer-focused culture that have defined its success. Dealers can expect continuity across day-to-day operations, supported by the same experienced team and commitment to service.
America’s Auto Auction Victoria will continue to host its weekly Thursday sale at 11:30 a.m., offering both in-lane and digital bidding opportunities to buyers and sellers throughout the market.
“After 40 years as a family-owned business, I believe the right next step for Victoria Auto Auction is to partner with America’s Auto Auction who I trust and believe in,” said Kenny Griffin, owner of Victoria Auto Auction. “This decision reflects the hard work and dedication of our family, friends, employees, and loyal customers who helped build this business.
I especially want to thank my wife and son, Shelly and Kevin, along with Stephen and Brenda, our longest-tenured employees. As we move forward, we look forward to expanding our relationships and continue to strengthen the Victoria location.”
While America’s Auto Auction’s footprint continues to expand, its strategy remains consistent: partner with well-respected operators, preserve local relationships, and provide customers with the advantages of a larger national network. The addition of Victoria Auto Auction further strengthens America’s Auto Auction’s presence in Texas while reinforcing the momentum behind its continued growth across North America.
