QCSA Auto Auctions Acquires CrashedToys.com and St. Croix Specialties

QCSA Auto Auctions, which owns and operates a group of salvage vehicle and specialty equipment auctions, and CrashedToys.com have announced that QCSA has acquired the assets of CrashedToys.com and St. Croix Specialties, a leading company providing insurance salvage services for motorcycle, marine, and snowmobile claims.

Under the deal QCSA’s subsidiary, Special Lines Central, will be combined with the acquisition to form Crashed Toys, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QCSA. Additionally, the management and staff of CrashedToys.com will remain with the company and operate the new entity.

“By joining forces, we have created one of the largest companies in the nation focused solely on remarketing Specialty Lines such as motorcycles, snowmobiles, boats, and RV’s,” stated Joe Peltier, owner and founder of St. Croix Specialties and CrashedToys.com. “We look forward to the new opportunities our combined entity will provide.”

“We are ecstatic to be uniting with CrashedToys.com,” said Jerry Sullivan, Managing Member of Crashed Toys, LLC. “CrashedToys.com is a nationally recognized leader and innovator for this important niche within the salvage remarketing industry.”

QCSA now owns and operates eight salvage vehicle auctions and two special lines auctions in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Minnesota.
