ADESA Phoenix ranked number one nationally for 2014, with exceptional sales and service grades, including number one nationally for service. Kansas City Independent Auto Auction, Westlake’s top auction for 2013, topped a highly competitive group of auctions in the Midwest region, as well as placing number one nationally for sales.
“We appreciate the partnership that Westlake and KCIAA have formed over the years,” said Doug Doll, general manager at KCIAA. “It takes a total team effort, and I feel that both of our companies’ teams work extremely well together. I know that our team takes tremendous pride when working on the Westlake account.”
Lastly, Rawls Auto Auction topped the ranking for Eastern auctions in 3 out of 4 quarters which lead to the 2014 Eastern region top spot.
