The Dealers Have Spoken.

The Dealer Satisfaction Award honors those companies who achieve the highest ratings and reviews from their dealer clients. Throughout each year, DrivingSales invites dealers to rate their vendors annonymously and at the conclusion of the year awards are given based on year’s standings.

How It Works

Dealers Buy Products

Every year, dealers buy products and services from vendors. There are thousands to choose from, but which are the best? Are dealers satisfied?

Dealers Rate Products

Dealers are encouraged to leave ratings and reviews of vendor products on DrivingSales.com. Names are omitted from ratings to protect the dealers.

Vendors Get Awards

Ratings are generated using a weighted Baysian algorithm and separated into many categories. The winners of each category are announced annually.
