Rogers’ Journey from Grocer to NAAA President Tommy Rogers will be installed as president of the National Auto Auction Association at the World Remarketing Convention in Seattle at the end of this month. Rogers currently shares management responsibilities for Manheim Maryland and Manheim Baltimore-Washington with Audrey England and Mike Fair. Used Car News: How did you get into the auto auction business? Tommy Rogers: I started in this industry back in 1996. But when I was in high school, I started in the grocery business at 16 years old. I was bagging groceries and worked my way through Clemson in the grocery business. My degree was in finance and thought I had a desire to get into banking. Once I graduated, I realized it wasn’t what I wanted to do. So I stayed in the grocery business and did quite well. But I had an issue with my wife, because if we wanted to have kids, I’d have to do something else. The retail grocery business was sometimes 90 hours a week. My wife said, ‘The money has been good, the experience has been good, but we need to start a family and you need to be home with the family.’ So one day while I was outside cutting the grass, which was my way to unwind, my wife came out with a newspaper. It was a help wanted ad that Carolina Auto Auction was looking for someone to help work dealer registration. I knew nothing about the auction business, but just to satisfy her, I’ll send out an application. I started at Carolina Auto Auction in 1996 and through (different situations) I moved up pretty quickly. The rest is history.

All but the last year was in the independent space – at Carolina and Bel Air Auto Auction (now Manheim Maryland) with the Nichols family. (The acquisition of Bel Air by Manheim) was a big move, but it really wasn’t a big move for me. I know the value that Manheim has brought to the industry. I know a lot of people from Manheim just through my involvement with the NAAA. The relationships were already there. The outlook of things to come was better for us because you’re with a company that invests heavily in technology and people. It hasn’t been that different. The one thing that has been different for me is the available resources, whether it’s human resources, or

Swofford Looks Back at Career, Forward to 2027 By Jeffrey Bellant
John Swofford will be installed as National Auto Auction Association president-elect at this month’s World Remarketing Convention in Seattle. Before he entered the auction business, John Swofford was living in Lubbock, Texas. He was shoeing horses, riding horses and trading horses at the local horse auctions. Swofford told the owner he wanted to learn how to be an auctioneer. “He taught me how to auctioneer,” Swofford said. “Then I started doing horse sales and a few cattle sales. I mainly did farm equipment sales and oil field sales. Then I got started in the auto auctions.” So, in 1993, he became an auctioneer – back in the days of Anglo American Auto Auctions, which later became ADT Automotive. Later, he went to Manheim, where he
Rogers
worked in a variety of positions over the next 16 years. During his time at Manheim, Swofford became part of the team to launch Manheim’s first international auction location in Shenzhen, China. “You know that was one of the best experiences in my life,” he said. “They were asking for volunteers to go for six months at a time. A good friend and co-worker had gone over for the first six months to help set it up for the first sale. Then I went in for the next six months with him.” At the time, Swofford said he was the only full-time Manheim person at that location. His boss Cliff Anderson was in Shanghai and he would come down once a month, but there was no support group, he said. “It was just all you,” he said. Swofford said the experience was valuable. “Overcoming the cultural barrier
and the language barrier, made me come away from China with a lot of confidence in myself,” he said. Swofford joined America’s Auto Auction in 2008 and worked there nearly 14 years. For about six of those years, he said he managed locations in the way he would for David Andrews, founder and chief executive officer of Dealers Auto Auction. “It was almost like, ‘I have the blueprint for what you want to do,’” Swofford said. In May 2024, Swofford started at DAA and now serves as vice president of auction operations. “We have two vice presidents, me and Matt Itami, and we co-manage the 10 locations and the digital operations,” he said. Swofford is happy with the experience. “It’s been amazing,” he said. “Mr. Andrews is just a great guy to work for and the organization is set up so well. He has 10 auctions, plus the
digital platform. He has 14 franchise dealerships. He has his own floorplan division with City Auto Finance. They have a real estate division that helps manage all the property. “So, it’s almost like a turnkey of the automotive industry rolled into one company, City Enterprises, LLC.” When it comes to his NAAA involvement, Swofford first served in 2000 on the Standards Committee. He was with Manheim at the time so only served a couple of years because he didn’t have the time. At America’s, he got involved on the Standards Committee again and served as co-chair with Kevin Cook and Tommy Rogers, a role he said he enjoyed. Several leaders tried to recruit Swofford to consider serving as NAAA president, but “it just wasn’t the time in my life,” he said. But now is the right time and, he said.

CFPB Cleans Up Consumer Complaint Portal By Erica A.N. Kramer*
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says its consumer complaint system has become less useful than it should be and plans to tighten things up. The CFPB published an announcement on June 24 explaining that the complaint portal has been strained by a huge increase in complaints, inconsistent company responses, and misuse of the system by some third parties. The announcement detailed the steps the CFPB is taking to combat these issues. The headline problem is volume. The CFPB reports that complaints rose from approximately 150,000 in 2019 to more than five million in 2025. That kind of jump slows down the process, especially when some complaints are generated
or encouraged by credit repair businesses, social media advice, AI tools, or services trying to dispute accurate information just to boost credit scores. The CFPB also says that companies have not always reported complaint outcomes in a consistent way. That lack of consistency matters because the complaint database is supposed to help consumers, companies, regulators, and the public understand what is happening in the financial services marketplace. If the responses are uneven or hard to compare, the information becomes less useful. According to the announcement, the CFPB is taking a number of steps to combat these issues. For example, the CFPB is revising its Company Portal Manual
so that companies follow a more standardized process when handling complaints. The CFPB also says that it is strengthening identity protections, aligning the complaint process more closely with statutory legal duties, and focusing resources on complaints that actually require a substantive company response. The CFPB is also returning to its roots, emphasizing the importance of consumer education, not just about financial health but also the costs and risks of credit repair and how to spot fraud and scams. For consumers, the complaint system can be an important backup when they are having difficulty resolving a problem with a financial services company. It can also be a useful tool for companies to deal with complaints in an orderly fashion. However, if the portal is overwhelmed, it becomes harder for legitimate complaints to get timely attention. Therefore, the CFPB’s goal appears to be keeping the portal open and useful for consumers while reducing noise from duplicate, low-quality, or improper complaints that can clog the pipeline. Overall, the CFPB’s message is pretty straightforward: the complaint portal still matters, but it needs guardrails. By standardizing processes, protecting identities, filtering for complaints that need meaningful responses, and educating consumers, the CFPB is trying to restore trust in a system that has become overloaded and less reliable. *Erica A.N.

Rogers – Continued from page 3 As far as workforce development, we’ve got to bring in the next generation of leaders. It may be auction owners. It may be managers. I tell our team here that I feel like I’ve done my job when I’m not here and nobody notices that I’m not here. It’s about helping develop that person that is coming up behind me. I’ve heard it said in our industry, if you want a promotion, find your replacement. I think that’s what we have to do with workforce development. When it comes to collaboration when we look at what the independents have done through the years and look at the value that the corporations can bring, we’ve got to continue to work together. We have to realize there’s not Sep of 12.pdf ‘I’ in team. UCN_AmericasAtlanta It’s basically all us working together toward a com-
mon goal. When one succeeds, we all succeed. UCN: Who are some of the people in the industry that have inspired you? Rogers: When I go back into my career, I think about Henry Stanley, the 2000 NAAA president. I look at the value that Patty Stanley has brought to our association. Then I got to work with Ray Nichols, the 2002 president and Charles Nichols, the 2022 president. I’ve also got to work with 2025 President Eddie Lafferty closely over the past year, and with 2024 President Craig Amelung in a different capacity. It’s not just about the leaders, but about listening to the ideas their teams had. 1 It’s 9/11/26 11:38Mama AM like my always said, ‘You’ve got two ears and one
mouth, so you should listen twice as much as you talk.’ I have a hard time doing that sometimes. It’s collaboration and that’s essential for leadership. Other than that, I think the com-
ing year is going to be an interesting year. Nevertheless, the resiliency that this industry has is what has always made it attractive to me.

Independent Dealer Association Names Quality Dealer By Jeffrey Bellant
SHELBY TWP, Mich. – Salem Moshe and the team at Legend Motors in Detroit received the state Quality Dealer of the Year award from the Michigan Independent Automobile Dealers Association. Former Michigan IADA board member Joe Kuhta presented the award. “I’ve known this family for years and the 2026 Quality Dealer of the Year is a family business,” Kuhta said. “We’re naming Mr. Salem Moshe as the winner.” He pointed out that many members of Moshe’s family attended the event. “It’s a true family,” Kuhta said. “They love each other and are with each other. They really work together as a complete team.” Moshe started in the automobile business AAASavannah_UCN-Oct in the late 1990s.Nov The busi2026.pdf
ness started out in just a trailer as a mechanic shop. Kuhta said Moshe eventually purchased the building and turned the business into a four-store, thriving business, headquartered in Ferndale, Mich., with locations in Detroit, Waterford and Highland. Jonathon Moshe spoke on behalf of his father and the dealership. “Everything has to do with my father always believing in making sure you take care of the customer and going the extra mile and helping them out,” he said. He said the business has had customers who have been with them for 10 to 15 years, because Legend cares about what they sell. “These are real people of honor and integrity,” Kuhta said. The award was part of the group’s 6th annual golf outing, luncheon and meeting held last month. 1 9/9/26 3:24 PM

NEBRASKA
Jody Smith, owner, Jody’s Auto Sales, North Platte, Neb. “This is my 40th year in business, all in the same location. But we’ve upgraded over the years with a new office and such. “Out here in the middle of Nebraska, it can be hard for me to get away to go to auctions. But I was doing online even before COVID. “Typically, our inventory is somewhere between 60 and 70. On average, we sell around 30 per month. “Well, it depends on the time of year on what kind of vehicle we sell the most. I have a lot of commercial and farm-related trucks. SUVs have always been popular here, lately more so than cars. Cars are a little harder to get now since the domestics quit building cars. Of course, if you want
cars, you’ve got to go foreign over domestic. I say foreign, they’re not necessarily foreign, Nissan, Toyota – a lot of those are built in America now. “Our customer’s average down payment is somewhere around $1,000-1,500. I would say the bigger share of people want to put zero down. “Reconditioning is always, at least, tires, windshields and maybe a spot job on paint. Everything gets shampooed and polished before we put it out. “We have our own shop. I tried to farm it out and it’s just not as good. All you’re doing is running stuff all over town. “I do most of my advertising online. I do some stuff with radio just because I trade it out, I let them use a vehicle. Word of mouth is important, and reputation.
Reputation is big. “Last car I sold was yesterday. It was a Ford Escape. It was a 2018 with 53,000 miles. The gentleman traded in a Chrysler 300 and he was a past customer. He bought three cars here prior, he said, because there was less hassle. ‘You’re always up front and shoot me the best deal right off the bat. So that’s why I came back.’ That’s kind of fun.”
OHIO
Bill Gaietto, owner, Tiffin Auto Direct, Tiffin, Ohio “I’ve been in this business since 1986. First job was selling cars at Garber Buick in Findlay, Ohio. I sold cars for 30 days and they made me the used car manager. “We have the used store and now a new store, Fairway Chrysler Jeep Ram. We acquired that in December ’25. I’m the general manager
there and I’m also on the state association board. “We usually keep—between the two stores—about 100 used cars on hand. We sell about 50-55 a month. “SUVs are our No. 1 seller at about 60 percent. Trucks 25 percent, cars the remaining amount. The thing is there aren’t many cars left to sell. I’d say we sell 75 percent domestic and 25 percent import. “I use Manheim auctions and America’s Auction West near Grand Rapids. It used to be 90% going to auctions for me, that has changed dramatically. Now it’s 70% online and 30% going to auctions. “We have a very robust group of subprime lenders. Generally speaking, as long as you have a job and don’t have a current car loan we can do it. I probably have the strongest F&I guy in this
area, Matt Gruss and my GSM is Nick Garvin. Both have been with me for over 15 years.” “Our shop is small at Tippin, we do detailing. But the new-car shop has two master technicians. We are trying to give customers a concierge experience. “Down payments are about $1,000 on the used cars. “Our reconditioning is pretty high; we probably spend $1,500-$1,800 per car. “As far as advertising we spend about $500 to get a customer delivered. Right now, the whole game is social media. “The sweet spot for mileage for used cars and subprime is 40,000-90,000. “I tell my people: there is one asset you need to protect and that is your integrity. You lose that and you’re not going to be successful in this business.”

Jeffrey Bellant you’re looking at an $8,000 car, you can get a better picture looking at it in person, touching it and smelling it than looking at 40 photos online. Our customers would rather put their hands on that price-point vehicle. If we were selling 2024 Corollas with 30,000 miles, the Internet would be perfect. “The larger players have tried to turn auctions into a technology business, which is smart because they have lots of money to throw at technology. “The smaller, familyowned independent auctions deal more with people. We count on serving our customers in the lanes, not that we don’t have good online products and services if you can’t make it sale day. “This week’s sale (Sept.9) we had 270 (bidders) in the lane and I think we had 70 logged in online, with 40 1

unique, active bidders online. “Independent dealers that have been strong and aggressive have seen the fruit of that aggressiveness. For them, I think $5.00 a gallon gas makes things difficult on everybody and the independent dealer that sells a car that’s more manageable for the average Oklahoma. In Oklahoma, people that need trucks still need to drive trucks. So if they used to drive a 2024 Silverado, they’re probably looking at a 2020 Silverado now. “The independent dealers show up every day and work hard and take care of their dealerships and maintain a strong wholesale practice. “I think those dealers have been handsomely rewarded for their diligence and aggressiveness. “Our volume mix is 65% dealer cars and 35% fleet/
lease/repossessions. I think we’re getting a touch closer to 40% (commercial). “Our bread-and-butter – our main customers – are our franchise and independent dealers. That’s how the business started and we’ve never strayed from our focus on them. “But other opportunities have presented themselves (in terms of commercial consignment) and we’ve got a great team here with really good continuity. “They know the way my and dad and me handle the business and want to run the business. There is an expectation on our end for what a customer should get. “So if we engage in a business partnership, we’re looking long term, not short term. “If you have a problem, you don’t have to call corporate headquarters, you call an
owner or the managing partner and we handle the situation quickly. “That’s the best part about independents. An independent GM or if it’s family owned, someone in that family, might be driving a van with drivers to pick up cars one day. You’re sort of prepared for whatever you get. “I think the flexibility of independent auctions is valuable and we have a very nice niche if we all do our job and maximize the things that make us valuable in the industry. “From a job standpoint it’s good here because of the oil and gas industry. “As far as sale events, we do have a big Thanksgiving sale every year on the day before Thanksgiving. We give away a ton of stuff and we do turkey bowling in the lanes with frozen turkeys.”

“If you like rainbows, you have to put up with the rain!” Dolly Parton said that and it applied to so much of what she believed, whether making goals for her own achievement or going through heartache to fuel her philanthropic bounty. It reflected her own experiences of going through hardship to enjoy success. Most people have great things to say about her – and for good reason. Inside the ritzy and glitzy façade was the nicest, warmest and most appealing lady. I know; I spent almost five hours with her, one on one, back in the eighties. I boarded an American Airlines flight to Los Angeles from Nashville; I used to earn enough frequent flyer miles to enjoy free upgrades to first class and had just finished hanging up my jacket (yes, we used to wear
suits to travel in those days) and installing myself in seat 1A to do some work for the duration of the flight. “’Scuse me, sir. Ah bleeve arm setting rart next door to ya!” With a smile from ear to ear, Dolly Parton started to stow her things in the overhead. I insisted that the privilege should be mine and she courteously allowed me to stash all kinds of things. I was so surprised I must have looked like a blithering idiot with my jaw on the floor. She wore her very recognizable light brown chammy leather mini skirt and jacket with those tasseled sleeves that accentuated her every move. Once we were seated, I started, “Ma’am, I know who you are and if you would prefer that I should keep myself to myself for the flight, I would gladly
oblige.” My accent served as an easy conversation starter – a conversation that didn’t stop till we landed and, even then she invited me to join her at the Admirals Club to introduce me to the friends who were meeting her. She treated me like a celebrity, insisting that they would enjoy meeting me! I politely demurred as I had an appointment to keep. Instead of her talking about herself, she wanted to know all about me; where from in England, education, life at home, what it was like to be an identical twin, London after the war and how I landed up coming to America – a story which takes about half an hour to tell. She was fascinated to hear about the auto auction business and asked all kinds of business-like questions about it. It was obvious that she was very savvy about

innate joy was contagious – she treated the cabin crew with smiling respect and thanked them profusely as we deplaned. As we entered the gate area and strolled along the terminal she was met by some associates but before we parted she gave me a hug. As small as she was, she was a huge gift.

how things work and what makes business tick. She occasionally told me stories and epithets about her climb to fame, all laced with those joyfully amusing observations she so easily slipped in here and there; “I was negotiating a deal with some big wheels in Nashville. They thought I was just a dumb blonde! Hell, I’m not even blonde!!” There was never any spite in her recollections. She was so interesting and gracious about things she remembered and underscored that she always looked to learn from every day and to be a good person. She never bragged about anything – her celebrity and achievements provided the ability to give back. Of course, she had done that ‘big time’ since those earlier days. It’s small wonder that people speak so well of her. Her
