Hi Jeff,

I enjoy your website. As the General Manager of AutoMart.com, I was wondering if you have tried AutoMart.com and if not, why?

Have you seen any of the dealer online satisfaction surveys conducted by a very popular research firm? I think it is reflective of our business model- committed to delivering a very high quality of car buyers to dealers.

AutoMart.com ranked in the top 3 in quantity of used car sales it was responsible for a close 3rd to AutoTrader.com and Cars.com.

AutoMart.com ranked in the top 5 for closing ratios- ahead of Autobytel, AutoExtra, CarsDirect, CarSoup, Dealix, Vehix and BeepBeep.com.

Who ranked in the top 5 in overall dealer satisfaction, business generation and dealer support/service in a very popular research firms dealer satisfaction study ?

Was it Ebay Motors?

NopeWas it CarSoup? No

Was it Vehix.com? Mas Non

Was it BeepBeep.com? Not quite

Was it AutoExtra.com? Try again

Was it AutoMart.com? Yes!!!
