Enlisted Auctions - Equipment and Vehicle Sales

Overview of Enlisted Auctions: A New Era of Vehicle and Equipment Sales Enlisted Auctions, operating primarily as Shady Haven Enterprises, LLC, represents a sophisticated evolution in the automotive and equipment secondary market.

Founded and led by Kervin Yoder, the company has established itself as a cornerstone of the Shenandoah Valley business community. By blending the urgency of traditional auctioneering with the accessibility of modern digital platforms, they have created a service that appeals to automotive professionals seeking unique inventory and individual buyers looking for value.
