Wells Fargo Auto Finance has named the recipients of its Stagecoach Award for the third quarter of 2007.
Chester, Pa. — Wells Fargo Auto Finance has named the recipients of its Stagecoach Award for the third quarter of 2007.
The Stagecoach Award is a quarterly honor that recognizes the achievements of Wells Fargo Auto Finance’s best automotive dealers. Winners were selected from more than 19,000 dealers across North America. In total, 52 dealers were named Stagecoach Award winners, one from each of the company’s sales regions. Stagecoach Award winners received a framed award and a gift, recognizing their accomplishment.
When asked about his reaction to being named a Stagecoach Award Winner, Jeff Lampkin, finance manager of Park Cities Ford, said, “We were very excited when we found out we were the Wells Fargo Auto Finance Stagecoach Award winner! We have an exceptional relationship with our buyer, Mary Martel, as well as our Area Sales Manager Candie Smith. Both of them are available anytime we need them and make it very easy to do business with Wells Fargo. The competitive advance structure of their nonprime program is another key factor in our decision to do business with WFAF and Mary is often involved in the deal long before the customer selects a vehicle. We have had great success in the past using Wells Fargo Auto Finance and look to continuing our relationship in the future.”
