The official IAA auction branch for the area is listed as Fort Myers at 11950 State Road 82, Fort Myers, FL 33913. Some third‑party listings reference an ‘IAA Vehicle Purchasing’ location at 850 Pondella Rd, North Fort Myers; that location appears to be a purchasing office rather than the auction yard. All auctions and pickups for this branch occur at the Fort Myers address above. IAA specifies exact mobile app names: ‘IAA Buyer Salvage Auctions’ (for buyers) and ‘IAA Tow’ (for transporters). Auctions are all‑digital via IAA AuctionNow with pre‑bidding, live digital bidding, and supplemental formats (Buy Now, Timed Auctions).
