Automoves Expands Export Logistics Platform for International Auction Buyers Sourcing Vehicles Across Canada
TORONTO, ON, March 28, 2026 — Automoves, Canada’s largest finished vehicle logistics provider, has expanded its national export operations to meet growing international demand for Canadian-sourced vehicles purchased at auction. The company now manages the complete logistics chain, from auction retrieval to port-of-exit delivery, for overseas buyers purchasing through IAA, Copart, Openlane, and Eblock across all major Canadian markets.
The expansion builds on nearly two decades of export experience and a physical presence in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. That footprint allows Automoves to retrieve vehicles promptly after auction release, reducing the storage fees that accumulate at auction facilities and compress buyer margins. The company handles all vehicle types and conditions, including inoperable and damaged units common in salvage auction purchasing.
For international buyers who cannot inspect purchases in person, Automoves provides detailed photo reports conducted by trained staff at the point of pickup.
International buyers are trusting us with vehicles they’ve never seen in person. Our job is to be their eyes and hands on the ground, from the moment the auction hammer falls to the moment that vehicle rolls onto the vessel.
— Marcus Delacroix, Director of Export Operations, Automoves
The scope of vehicles moved through the export platform is broad. Compact sedans, full-size SUVs, oversized pickup trucks, and Sprinter-class commercial vans are transported regularly, each with equipment and securing methods matched to the vehicle’s dimensions and condition. Buyers purchasing across multiple lots or vehicle categories work with a single logistics provider rather than coordinating between several regional carriers.
Automoves notes that its ability to handle inoperable vehicles without surcharges or refusals is a particular differentiator. The company maintains specialist loading equipment and trained drivers capable of moving non-running cars, trucks, and vans, from crashed sports cars to flood-damaged pickups, safely and on schedule.
We have been buying from Canadian auctions for many years, and Automoves is the only transporter we use. The photo reports, fast pickups, and reliable port delivery give us the confidence to buy more vehicles, more often.
— Tariq Al-Mansouri, Vehicle Import Operations, Gulf Region
The company’s export track record spans nearly 20 years, serving IAA and Copart buyers through shifting market conditions, regulatory changes, and the supply chain disruptions that have affected the automotive sector in recent years. Automoves says that consistency, maintained through sustained investment in personnel, equipment, and auction relationships, is the foundation of its position in the export segment.
