Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
Identity/branch confirmation: AutoIMS lists “IAA Hartford‑South” as Branch No. 638 at 1462 Saybrook Rd, Middletown, CT 06457, phone 860‑854‑6761. The official IAA page for this branch exists (locations/638) but may be protected behind site security; third‑party directories reference it directly. Auction cadence for Hartford South is not visible on IAA’s public site; the SCA broker page for this exact branch (ID 638) shows Monday 9:30 a.m. ET sales and mirrors standard IAA payment/pickup timelines. Apps: EXACT names are “IAA Buyer App” (for buyers to search, pre‑bid and bid live) and “IAA Tow App” (for registered transporters to schedule pickups). Public vs. dealer: IAA highlights public buyer access for specific states (e.g., Colorado, Mississippi) and otherwise encourages public buyers to use brokers; Connecticut branches commonly require licensed business buyers for salvage titles—verify your eligibility or use a broker like SCA for public participation. When in doubt, call the branch listed on AutoIMS or IAA’s Hartford main branch page to confirm local pickup timing, storage start date, and any appointment or check‑in requirements.
