About Corry ADE

 

 

April 1st, 2010 marked the 28th anniversary for Corry Auto Dealers Exchange under Swift family ownership. Merle E. Swift, President, first bought the sale in 1982. Tim E. Swift, VP/COO, joined in 1989 and is now Merle's partner. Son and brother, Tad, joined the auction in 2000 as Sales Manager. All three can be seen, every Thursday, in the four "action packed" lanes.

 

     Twelve acres of paved and fenced parking surround a totally redone facility, completed in 2004 with a price tag of nearly $2 million dollars, featuring:

 

      1) 4 brand new lanes featuring simulcast via "Live Block Auctions" for our fleet/lease and "late model" dealer consignment. The lanes also boast a concession stand and dealer accessory booth for our customers’ convenience.

      2)  Expanded office area along with a "full service" cafeteria and "on-sight" DMV Title Office for our Pennsylvania dealers.

      3) Re-designed Reconditioning area equipped to handle Pre & Post Sales Inspections, NIADA Certification and Light Duty Mechanical. "Car Brite" products are featured during the reconditioning process from "just a wash" to a "Full" Detail.

    

     Current clients include Automotive Resources International, PHH Arval and Wheels Inc. in our Fleet/Lease Department and Hartley Buick and Paddock Chevy from the Sales Department. Our website is hosted by Auto lookout, home of Independentauctions.com for "Buy Now" vehicles. In addition, all unsold Fleet/Lease and late model dealer consignments are offered weekly on OVE.COM of which we are proud to be a "Signature Provider".  

 

     We are the #1 Auction - Eastern Region - for ARI "two years running" for Administration, Communication and Timeliness through 2009 and have been their Auction of the Year - Eastern Region in 1999, 2000 AND 2006. Other achievements include Auction of the Year - Donlen Corp (2006), Auction of the Year – Eastern Region – PHH Arval (2007) and the Award for Excellence - Wheels Inc. (2007). Just another way to prove that "Service is the Key" at Corry ADE is something that we practice every day.

 

     We offer AutoIMS Technology for our fleet customers, complete with electronic condition reports (with pictures) and use Auction Access for our dealer’s convenience. Our checks and titles are guaranteed through Auction Insurance Agency and "Auto Check" is run on every unit that is offered for sale. We also provide a full time Transportation Department to assist in your movement of vehicles.
