“We have worked long and hard to create an effective training regimen for franchised dealers and it is terrific being recognized for our efforts. But three years in a row is awesome,” said Randy Crisorio, UDS president and CEO.
This is the third year Auto Dealer Monthly has recognized the most highly regarded vendors, suppliers and finance companies in the retail automotive industry as voted on by dealers and dealership personnel.
