Weekly auctions are held every Tuesday at 3 p.m., with a Powersports sale on the third Tuesday of each month, just before the regular sale. These specialized sales feature a wide array of inventory including ATVs, boats, snowmobiles, campers, motorcycles, and collectible cars.

America’s is a full-service used-vehicle auction provider that handles the wholesale remarketing of used vehicles for B2B customers. Based in Carmel, Indiana, it buys and sells used vehicles at more than 40 physical auction sites across 20 states, as well as on digital platforms. 

“This auction has been my home since 2005,” said Karen Lallemont, a Western Wisconsin Auto Auction seller, in a May 29 news release. “I believe that America’s Auto Auction will continue the same caring and dedication to both our staff and customers while at the same time bringing the auction to a new level of success.”

Chuck Tapp, CEO of America’s Auto Auction, added, “Our continued growth in Wisconsin reflects our commitment to connecting dealers with strong, regional inventory and delivering flexible solutions rooted in local expertise. Chippewa Falls not only gives us strategic access to dealers in the Twin Cities and throughout Northern Wisconsin, but it also brings together a passionate team and a loyal dealer base that aligns perfectly with our values.”
