Dealix representatives, along with other winners, spent the morning with the DrivingSales team celebrating and discussing dealer needs in 2015.

The satisfaction rankings are determined by the thousands of auto dealers who are part of the DrivingSales.com community.
“This award means so much to us because it comes from our dealers,” said Kim Jennett, Director of Marketing for Dealix. “We take their feedback seriously, especially since the ratings on DrivingSales give our Dealers the ability to provide uncensored, honest feedback. At Dealix we live by a simple promise to our dealers; provide the best customer service and the highest quality opportunities to help them sell more cars. The fact that our dealers continue to rate us a Top Vendor shows us that our dedication to this promise is appreciated. We want to thank our customers who took the time from their busy schedules to share their experiences with our products and team members and look forward to another great year of helping dealers sell more cars.”
