vAuto Receives "Highest Rated" DrivingSales Dealer Satisfaction Award

vAuto has received the "Highest Rated" Inventory Pricing Award in the sixth annual DrivingSales Dealer Satisfaction Awards, presented at a special event in conjunction with the 2015 National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Convention & Expo. vAuto received the highest dealer satisfaction ranking in the Inventory Pricing category, as determined by the thousands of auto dealers who are part of the DrivingSales.com community.

"It's a distinct honor to win the DrivingSales Dealer Satisfaction Award for the sixth straight year," said Randy Kobat, vice president and general manager for vAuto. "The award validates our goal to provide dealers with superior technology and tools, as well as the Performance Management and customer service support to help them continually succeed as new and used vehicle retailers."

vAuto's pricing tools are part of the company's Conquest and Provision inventory management systems for new and used vehicles. Using patented Live Market View technology, the pricing tools allow dealers to determine the optimal price position for any vehicle in a market to achieve their new/used vehicle sales and profitability objectives.

"We congratulate vAuto on being recognized as one of the best-of-the-best by the people to whom their services count the most: the dealer community," said DrivingSales CEO and Founder Jared Hamilton. "For six years, and through over 21,000 validated reviews, DrivingSales Vendor Ratings has helped dealers make smarter, more informed decisions, leading them to outstanding service providers such as vAuto."

The DrivingSales Dealer Satisfaction Awards are based on cumulative ratings tallied and verified over the calendar year (January - December) at DrivingSales.com Vendor Ratings. DrivingSales.com Vendor Ratings is the industry's only neutral, comprehensive vendor rating forum featuring real-time peer reviews and honest competitor comparisons, and provides dealerships with important information from actual customers who have hands-on experience using vendor products/solutions in their stores. Each rating is verified as coming from an actual dealership employee.
