      My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. In May of this year a tree fell from a neighbors property and broke the passenger side window of my Jeep. I happened to be out of town at the time during frequent storms and there was some water damage on some of the dash and center console.I made a claim with my insurance company. They seemed to had a difficult time finding someone who would quote the electrical issues caused by this. After sometime, they asked if they "could take my vehicle to their shop in *********************, Ga to get a damage appraisal". I found out later that my vehicle wasn't taken to ***************************, it was taken to IAA in ******, *******. My insurance company paid IAA to pick up my vehicle, do the appraisal, and bring it back. Apparently they were unable to do anything other than note the broken window on the repair estimate. So the vehicle was towed to My Mechanic to troubleshoot and undergo repairs. When my vehicle got to the shop, my mechanic called me and asked if it had any body damage or had the front bumper been ripped off. "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" I replied and came down to the shop to see what had happened. Before it left I had the battery disconnected to possibly save the modules from further damage. Therefore it wouldnt start. The Tow driver told me that each time they had to move my vehicle they use giant fork lift and that's what ripped the bumper. I immediately called IAA and spoke with ****** *******. He denied everything, then placed blame on the tow company. Come to find out my insurance paid them directly for the tow and the appraisal. So either way it was on them. ****** then told me to get an estimate for damages. My mechanic replaced and fixed all the original damage from the tree and documented the undercarriage damage. The estimate from the body shop was ONLY for the forklift damage. The estimate totaled $11,701.02 and when I submitted that to ****** he said "we're not paying for that". My Jeep came to them with ONLY a broken window/interior

      Good Morning *** ******, 

      Thank you for submitting your claim to Buyer Services. 

      I will connect with the branch manager to review the information submitted. 

      Do you have images or footage of how your vehicle arrived at the mechanic?  The images submitted do not show the damages claim in the complaint. 

      Once you have submitted those images we will forward your communication to our team for inspection.

      Yes. I have documented the damage very well and so has my mechanic. Can you send me an email address I can forward the pictures to you. The damage pictures show fresh damage to undercarriage components cause by being lifted several times from underneath. ****** denied everything at first and when I said I had proof he, said he wouldnhave to check the cams and get back with me. Days later he's claimed "We only moved it with the forklift twice, but get and estimate and sent it to me". When I did he told me they weren't paying that.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      This is MY vehicle, is was NOT bought from IAA. It was towed to IAA without my knowledge by my insurance company to get and estimate because they were having a hard time finding a shop to quote the electrical issues along with the broken window. I have video of it being picked up, in my driveway, by the tow company with *********** to the front or undercarriage. I was later informed by my insurance company they paid IAA $1,200 for the pickup, the inspection, and to deliver it to my mechanic when they were unable to even provide the damage repair quote. I also have the pictures I sent my insurance company before it was towed showing NO Damage other than to the window from the limb that fell. All the damage from the original claim has been repaired. The only damage on the vehicle now is what happened while it was in the possession of the IAA Tifton Branch. I'll include those pictures as well as the $1,200 invoice paid to IAA.

      I purchased on September 19, 2023, a 2013 Bentley Gt Continental through IAAs live auction, which was advertised as running and driving. Unfortunately, when the IAA transport service I hired attempted to collect the vehicle, it was found to be inoperable. The vehicle would not start or drive, contrary to the advertised condition. As a result, the auction & transport team forced to load the car using a forklift, which caused additional damage to the underbody of the vehicle.I have made several attempts to reach the manager to resolve this matter, with only one response, which seemed defensive. Following this, I sent two additional emails but have not received any further communication. Given the circumstances, I am seeking your assistance in addressing the discrepancies between the advertised condition of the vehicle and its actual state.I would appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and a resolution that ensures this matter is handled fairly.Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.Sincerely,Outmane Yanouri ********************* **********

      Thank you for your email, were sorry to hear you had an issue with your last purchase from IAA. As stated in our auction rules that you agreed to upon completion of your registration it states that any vehicle listed as a run and drive means that the engine started (either with a jump or without), Both the forward and reverse gears are engaged and from the staring position, the steering wheel made one full rotation to the right and one full rotation to the left at the time of arrival. IAA'S Facility or place of check in is not a representation or warranty that this will so or that the vehicle is road worthy.


      It also states in our auction rules that all vehicles are loaded using a forklift and placed on the vehicle of the transporter. Buyers are responsible for directing the load onto the transport, securing the load, and safely transporting the load.

      I sold my car to IAA through another company, ******. I agreed to sell it for the amount of $530. When I filled out a form online, I put that I would like to have my check mailed to me as my car was at an automotive shop far from where I live when it broke down.When IAA came to pick up my car, the attempted to deliver the check to the shop. The shop refused to take it, knowing my situation and how far away I lived. After contacting IAA with my address, they assured me over the phone that it would be shipped out that day. The following week on Monday, when I still haven't received my money, I reach back out to IAA and they provide me with a ***** tracking number to track my check and assure me it should arrive by the end of the week as something had happened with the original check and it needed to be reprinted.I reach back out to IAA on Friday when my tracking number still says it has not been shipped. They tell me that it is being taken care of by a different department of the company that I am unable to talk to and that they do not know when my check will be sent to me. During this time, I am contacting Peddle who forwards me back to IAA consistently, telling me that they have my money and my answers. As of now, I consider my car STOLEN from me by this company. They have not paid me the agreed upon amount, not listened to my instructions, and sold my car already to someone else when I have not been properly paid for it. DO NOT SELL YOUR CAR TO IAA

      Did a buy it now on a 2005 ******** Escalade EXT Pick Up Truck. Advertised and showed pics of keys. When vehicle was brought out, no keys chained to steering column. I was told by the office they are not responsible for keys. Left vehicle in their parking lot, came back after they closed and vehicle was gone. They had it towed when I am living across their street. Elite towing towed it for ****** to a place 1 mile down the street. They had the keys on a predetermined scam to make money on a tow. Normal rate for Elite is ****** when I had someone else call them. IAA had it towed and did not give reasonable amount of time in accordance to law and towed it just for the scam. Now they banned me and won't give back my overpayment of ******. They credit my account and said they would send that in the mail. Never received it. I go there and now they show no credit on their books. Now this vehicle has been parked 2 blocks away and was stolen, recently and assumed in IAA to print a new title in a different state since they are are a national system. I am asking for the tow money back, the credit of over payment and my membership fees of ****** since they banned me because I accused them of stealing my keys. Total is ******. State laws do not allow a vehicle to be towed just to profit and share with the 2 parties.

      Good Morning, Mr. Bezdicek, 

      Thank you for submitting your concerns to us. 

      After reviewing your claim and the account we have made the below decision. 

      In regards to the keys, please be advise  per IAA policy they are not guarantee. Please see the link below of the policy that was accepted when you register with us. 

      https://www.iaai.com/AuctionRules

      5. ANY STATEMENT THAT ANY VEHICLE HAS A PARTICULAR PART, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO KEY “PRESENT” OR THAT VEHICLE HAS A CATALYTIC CONVERTER, MEANS THAT A PARTICULAR PART WAS NOTED UPON ARRIVAL AT IAA’S FACILITY OR PLACE OF CHECK-IN, BUT IS NOT A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT SUCH PART WILL BE PRESENT AT ANY TIME THEREAFTER. IAA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MISSING PARTS. IT IS BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO INSPECT AND CONFIRM THE NOTED PARTS ARE PRESENT PRIOR TO PLACING A BID.

      Second, if you left the vehicle outside of IAA, we are not responsible for it. The buyer must follow and removed the units and provide any location they wish to be deliver to but once they leave the IAA are we are no longer liable for them. 

      The account is currently banned because you disputed the registration fee after you utilized the membership by purchasing the vehicle. The credit of $225.25 is still in the account but cannot be processed as you owed IAA $200 for the utilized membership. Once the fee has been paid via certified funds ( money order, cashier's check, or wire transfer), a refund can be issued to you for the balance via check. 


       If you still have questions about the IAA Policy, please feel free to reach out to us at Buyer Services at 877.0937.4243.

      October ****** I brought a buy now vehicle. The car was $300. It was rated a 50/50 and marked a run and drive. When I got there to retrieve the vehicle the car did not start. I called my mechanic to come look at it and did a few things to get it started. Once it was started it would not go into any gear. I then went back into the building to let them know the issue I was having and they acted nonchalant about my issue. The gave me a number to call and an email so that I can get help with my issue. I was told there nothing the branch could do to help me. I called the help line several times and they kept throwing me for a loop and telling me theres nothing they can do I have to email the complaint team. I sent a total of 3 emails and each email I would receive an email back saying the case has been closed and resolved and I still have not talked to anyone. This has been a frustrating experience. Theres no one to talk to and they talk in circles. I believe Im not the only that has experienced this but this is unfair and something needs to be done they are scamming people with run and drive because there run and drive do not mean the general definition of run and drive,

      Good Morning Ms. Coleman

      Thank you for reaching out to IAA about your complaint. 

      After further review, the information provided is correct in regards how the vehicle are classified in our site.

      Please be advise we do not have mechanics at our facility and when a vehicle is checked in we only do certain inspections. We do not test drive the vehicles, that is why we welcome our buyers to inspect a vehicle before the auction or if they are not able to inspect them themselves, they can hire an inspector from our website. 

      The auction rules are below, and you can follow the link to them. These are the auction rules you accepted when registering with IAA. 

      https://www.iaai.com/AuctionRules

      7. ANY STATEMENT THAT A VEHICLE RUNS OR DRIVES (SUCH AS THROUGH AN AUCTION NOTATION “RUN & DRIVE”) MEANS THAT THE ENGINE STARTED (EITHER WITH OR WITHOUT A JUMP), BOTH THE FORWARD AND REVERSE GEARS ENGAGED AND FROM THE STARTING POSITION, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE ONE FULL ROTATION TO THE RIGHT AND ONE FULL ROTATION TO THE LEFT, ALL AT THE TIME OF ARRIVAL AT IAA’S FACILITY OR PLACE OF CHECK-IN. IT IS NOT A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT IT WILL DO SO ANY TIME THEREAFTER OR THAT THE VEHICLE IS ROADWORTHY.

       

      We would not be able to refund you as we classified the information correctly. If you still have any questions about the policy please reached out to us at Buyer Services 877.937.4243,

      I am rejecting this response because: you clearly state that you don’t drive the vehicle so why do you state it drive. The vehicle I purchased was marked as a “run and drive” but when I got the vehicle it barely started and the forward and reverse gear never “ engaged”. You have 3 requirements that consider the car to be a run and drive and the car only meets 2/3. I understand you don’t have mechanics but I believe anyone in  line of work knows is a car drives or not. The fact that you use the “forward and reverse gear are engaged” to qualify the car as a run and drive is misleading. I feel all these taxes your company charges, mind you my fees are more than the car. I should receive more accurate information and better customer service.

      IAA received my car 9/5/24. The receptionist ***** or ***** was extremely rude and when asked if the Boulder Hwy address was correct she told me yes-only for me to **** there and be told the business has moved to another location 20 minutes away. I had to call and wait for another ***** Total cost $42.00. I was also charged $125 bc they decided to make keys to a vehicle they were not for sure they would keep, and the keys do not work to start the car only open it and when asked for the keys-I was refused. I was originally told the total to pick up the car was $245 but then was told $630 because they tacked on $385 impound fee after. They charged me $70 for a pick up fee which again my car was never going to be sold so it should not have left the original impound yard and charged me $50 bc they had to cancel the invoice. They are taking cars without knowing if the owners will retrieve them and then adding a bunch of fees to the consumer for having the audacity to get their property back. Those fees should be the responsibility of the loan company

      The vehicle I purchased was a run and drive (we have video). They listed a running motor with the listing. After picking up the vehicle, belt was missing, pulleys were loose. The vehicle will not start. After reviewing video, it is not the same motor in jeep. I called to resolve and was told the only person who could help was the manager! I was told that I had to email her that I could not talk to her on the phone. I have sent 3 emails. NO RESPONSE. I have repeatedly tried to contact the Mgr. but to no avail. This was and is a fraudulent listing for the vehicle and I want my money back. I have in my possession, supporting documentation to support this claim. In the video, it shows the car running along with a different motor then was sold to me

      Due to mistakes made by TitleMax, my truck was repossessed and ended up at IAA ***********, **, on 8/25. I went to ******** and we resolved the issue and I was told where I could pick up my truck. When I went to IAA I walked around my car and looked inside my truck, I did not look underneath my car. I then I signed a paper. Once I left the parking lot, I drove slowly through the parking lot, and started driving on the road I started hearing all kinds of noise from the underside of my truck. When I got home, I looked underneath and saw all kinds damage. I have photos and an estimate from ***************** describing the damage and and they said the damage exceeds the value of my truck (a 1997 GMC Yukon). At first, it seemed that ******* from IAA was going to work with me on repairing my truck and then she said corporate said they were not paying for anything and she told me to never call them again. I feel that IAA damaged my truck when they had it on their lot. They did not have my keys and had to pull it to the spot I saw it in and the manner in which they pulled it caused the damage. I think they used a forklift to move my tuck and this is what caused the damage. I feel they are responsible. I do not have vehicle to get around, to get to work. I have kids to take to daycare and so on. I need this company to fix my truck back to the way it was before they took it. My truck is currently at *****************, which is where ******* from IAA had it towed to.

      Good Evening,

      Thank you for submitting your claim to us. 

      After reviewing your information, the claim that you submit will have to go through Title Max since we received the vehicle through them. 

      Title Max understands the vehicles in our lot are moved via forklift and damage might occurred. This is also on our website for all parties to read and have access. 

      Since you are not a member directly with IAA, your claim will have to be submitted through Title Max for further review. 

      If you have any questions, please feel free to call ************** at ************

       

      Thank you,
