CarMark Adds Three Dealers to CPO Program
The CarMark Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program announced that three new dealers will be offering CarMark CPO vehicles to their customers in the near future.
CARY, N.C. — The CarMark Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program announced that three new dealers — two in West Virginia and one in California — will be offering CarMark CPO vehicles to their customers in the near future.
Spencer Auto Group of Spencer, W.V., Brown Chevrolet Buick of Montgomery, W.V., and Pioneer Auto Sales of San Ramon, Calif., have all signed on to be a part of the CarMark program.
“We are excited to welcome Brown Chevrolet, Pioneer Auto Sales and Spencer Auto Group to the CarMark organization,” said Bill Zadeits, managing director for CarMark. “These dealerships demonstrate how valuable CarMark can be for every type of dealership, from established franchised dealerships like Brown Chevrolet and Spencer Auto to a high-quality service facility just entering the retail business like Pioneer.”
“The launch of our enhanced CarMark Certified Pre-Owned program — which features a choice between a 72/100 warranty and a 12/12 warranty — is extremely exciting,” said Walt Burns, national manager for CarMark. “It’s a great opportunity to be able to offer such an attractive solution for our current and futures dealers to drive revenue and service loyalty. Our goal is to expand our CarMark footprint throughout the country to provide our dealers with a competitive advantage with the benefits of our certified program and the benefits of being a member of the Pre-Owned Automobile Dealers Alliance.”
