QCSA Direct is an experienced catastrophic-loss auctioneer
Catastrophic services
QCSA Direct is very experienced with large-scale, CAT salvage after managing clean-up and staging successful auctions for ten hurricanes and countless floods.
“It’s a massive problem for both consumers and insurance companies, the devastated area is littered with total-loss vehicles. Often, the only way to begin a clean-up is to remove the vehicles from the area. That’s where we come in.”

QCSA Direct helped insurance adjusters after Katrina devastated New Orleans. QCSA Direct auctioned close to 3,000 hurricane-damaged vehicles after Katrina.
