TORRANCE, Calif. — Voting is now open for the 15th annual Dealers’ Choice Awards, a program designed to recognize auto dealers’ favorite vendors, suppliers, and finance partners. The online survey will remain live throughout the month of May. Winners will be announced in mid-June and honored at the next Industry Summit, set for Nov. 4–6, 2019, in New Orleans.
Voters are asked to complete at least five of the survey’s 35 categories, entering their partner company’s name and scoring them on quality, value, customer service, and whether they would recommend that company to another dealer. Completed surveys enter the voter into a drawing for one of two 64 GB Amazon Fire HD 7 tablets.
Last year’s program resulted in 100 first-place Diamond, second-place Platinum, and third-place Gold awards divided among 70 winning companies.
“Dealers succeed on hard work, intuition, and courage, and they are backed in their efforts by people and companies dedicated to making some part of their job easier or more productive,” said David Gesualdo, publisher of Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom, part of the Bobit group of publications. “I hope our readers look forward to the survey, because I know our winners appreciate the recognition.”
