ATLANTA – Manheim Southern California in Fontana, Calif., will host a grand reopening sale on Thursday, Feb. 12, beginning at 8:45 a.m. The sale event will mark the opening of the location’s 15th auction lane and the remodeling of all other lanes, offices and café.
The facility enhancements were made to meet growing customer needs and to accommodate the increase in national, regional and local consignors.
“Our business has continued to grow as a result of our staff’s dedication to listening and meeting customer needs,” said Tim Van Dam, Manheim Southern California general manager. “For example, adding a pizza oven and other offerings in our café was a direct result of dealer feedback. Our customers told us that having high-quality food available when doing business is important to their overall auction experience.”
The new lane will offer 300 additional vehicles weekly for in-lane and online buyers. Other activities scheduled prior to the Feb. 12 grand re-opening sale include a Total Resource Auctions sale on Tuesday, Feb. 10, and a Ford Factory sale on Wednesday, Feb. 11; both begin at 10 a.m. More than 4,000 vehicles will be offered along with prize giveaways at the grand reopening sale.
