Carmel, IN – Monday, November 24, 2025 – America’s Auto Auction continues its rapid nationwide expansion with the acquisition of two more auction operations, Jefferson Mid-State Auto Auction in Wisconsin and United Mobile Auctions in North Carolina. These latest additions enhance America’s nationwide reach and reinforce its ability to provide flexible, high-quality auction solutions that meet dealers where they are.
Jefferson Mid-State Auto Auction, now operating as America’s Auto Auction South Wisconsin, has been a trusted, family-owned auction serving dealers across Wisconsin, northern Illinois, and surrounding areas. The auction will continue its weekly sales every Tuesday at 4:00 PM CT, maintaining the schedule that buyers and sellers rely on. Its central Midwest location and loyal buyer base make it a strong addition to America’s growing network.
“It’s with a full heart that I share the news of the sale of our auction,” said Brad Hults, owner of Jefferson Mid-State Auto Auction. “Serving our incredible clients, the best consignors and buyers in the region, has been the honor of my lifetime. You are true car-guy legends who inspire us to be better week after week. I also want to thank everyone who stood by us over the years, especially my dad, who taught me everything I know and shaped every step of this journey.
I am confident that America’s is the right group to take our auction experience to the next level, delivering even greater results for our clients while supporting our team in ways unmatched in the industry. I look forward to watching it all flourish.”
Joining the America’s family alongside Jefferson is United Mobile Auctions, which will operate under the entity name America’s Mobile Auto Auction Carolina Inc. Based in Monroe, North Carolina, the company brings more than fifteen years of experience and a reputation for “putting a new twist on an old idea.” With five mobile auction sites across North Carolina and South Carolina, United Mobile delivers auction experience directly to dealers offering flexibility, convenience, and trusted hometown service.
“I am pleased to announce a major strengthening decision for our auction company,” says Ben Himsel, owner of United Mobile Auctions. “After 15 years of building this business, we have executed a strategic transaction with America’s Auto Auction. This agreement represents an exciting opportunity that will allow us to take the business to the next level and provide significant benefits for the UMA work family, as well as for our valued buyers and sellers.”
“We’re excited to welcome Jefferson Mid-State Auto Auction and United Mobile Auctions into the America’s Auto Auction network,” said Chuck Tapp, CEO of America’s Auto Auction. “Both of these auctions share our commitment to exceptional customer service while strengthening our reach, our relationships, and our reputation as a trusted leader in the wholesale auction industry.”
With these new additions, America’s Auto Auction continues to build a strong network of over 50 auctions that combines local expertise with national resources. Dealers across the country benefit from America’s expanding selection of in-lane, online, and mobile auction options, all designed to make the buying and selling process more efficient and accessible.
