Meet Your Dedicated Team of Key CAG Personnel
Central Auction Group has put together a team with deep experience in each of the primary salvage groups we market: passenger vehicles, trucks & trailers, construction equipment, farm & agricultural machinery, forestry equipment, manufacturing equipment, and all specialty equipment.
Each team member below is trained to assist both buyers and sellers, ensuring every customer has a dedicated lead who will guide and manage every facet of the process. However, that is just what we do, not who we are.
