About DAA Northwest
Serving major markets throughout the West,
DAA Northwest offers a full range of remarketing services including reconditioning, inspections, transportation, inventory financing, and wholesale automotive, salvage, MotorSports & RV, and Internet auctions. DAA remarkets vehicles for wholesale consignors including dealers, manufacturers, rental car companies, banks, finance and leasing institutions. It's primary customer base draws from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Alaska, northern California, and western Canada.
DAA Northwest has its roots in the best traditions of the independent auction house. Auction president Bob McConkey, Jr., has more than 25 years of auto auction experience. He came through the ranks in the industry, working in various auctions as a fleet/lease manager, reconditioning manager, sales manager, and general manager. Under Bob's direction, Southern California Auto Auction doubled in size in three years and in 1988 became the world's largest volume auto auction.
In 1992, Bob founded DAA Northwest with Greg Mahugh. The two industry veterans have worked together for nearly 30 years. Greg now serves as DAA Northwest's senior vice president and general manager. Both Bob and Greg are auctioneers.
DAA's facility was constructed in 1996 and continues to expand to serve growing sales and services. In 2005, body shop and detail services were opened to the general public as well as the wholesale auction trade. DAA Northwest continues to improve facilities and increase services, including the introduction of AuctionPipeline Internet sales in 2006.
