2 min to read


TORRANCE, Calif. — The publishers of Auto Dealer Today announced that voting for the 2018 Dealers’ Choice Awards will begin tomorrow and continue through May 31, 2018. The annual program was designed to recognize the industry’s best vendors, suppliers, and finance sources based on an online survey open only to dealers and dealership professionals.

Voters can click here to access the survey. Dealers are free to share the link, but each voter may only complete the survey once. Completed surveys are spot-checked for veracity. Auto Dealer Today is the program’s sole sponsor and does not sell, rent, or share voters’ personal information.

“We are extremely proud of the momentum we have built with the Dealers’ Choice Awards, and we know how much your recognition means to your industry partners,” said David Gesualdo, publisher of Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom. “We thank ADT and F&I readers for taking a few minutes to complete the survey.”

Voters are encouraged to recognize their partners in any of 34 categories and must complete at least five categories to be counted. Examples, including past winners, are listed for each category, but voters must manually enter their providers’ names. They will also be asked to rate their partners for quality, customer service, value, and whether they would recommend each company to another dealer. Two voters will win an Amazon Fire tablet in a drawing to be held shortly after the close of the survey.
