CHICAGO, IL - January 27, 2026 – Salvato Auctions, a rising leader in the salvage vehicle auction industry, today announced its strategic expansion with current customers into the Midwest region of the United States. Scheduled to launch in the 2nd quarter of 2026, this initiative marks the company’s first significant expansion beyond its initial launch in Texas. The move expands Salvato Auctions' ability to transform total loss claims by completely eliminating physical paperwork in the lien & title process across all 50 states. For buyers, the move expands Salvato Auctions' ability to supply insurance vehicles with lower auction fees to a diverse buyer base around the world.
This expansion will introduce Salvato Auctions' services to Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, and Wisconsin, as well as additional neighboring states based on market demand. The move follows the company’s successful launch across Texas in 2025, where insurance companies who have switched to Salvato Auctions have seen significant improvement over legacy auction vendors.
“Every insurance carrier across the U.S. wants to reduce cycle time, improve salvage returns, and deliver a better claims experience” said Peter Jebson, CEO & Co-Founder of Salvato Auctions. “We have proven with current customers that our model gets policyholders paid and vehicles titled 4 to 6 weeks faster – which drives a better experience for policyholders and adjusters, and higher net returns for vehicles. We are excited to continue delivering results like this for carriers across the Midwest, like we have already proven for current customers in Texas.”
