Manheim Earns Awards from Ford and Enterprise RAC
Seven Manheim auctions recently won auction awards given by Ford Motor Co. Clanton’s Auto Auction in Darlington, SC, garnered the highest honor for Ford Financial sales - the Golden Gavel Award - for the second year in a row. Manheim auctions also won four out of six Ford Financial regional awards and two out of six Ford Factory regional awards. Manheim Auto Auction in Manheim, PA; Harrisonburg Auto Auction in Harrisonburg, VA; Metro Milwaukee Auto Auction in Caledonia, WI; and Omaha Auto Auction in Omaha, NE, all won regional quality awards from Ford Financial. Nashville Auto Auction in Mt. Juliet, TN, and San Antonio Auto Auction in San Antonio, each received a regional Ford Factory quality award. Each year, Ford presents the Golden Gavel Award, as well as six Ford Factory and Ford Financial regional awards, to recognize auctions for excellent product quality, facility environment, and administration services. Selection of the award winners is based on a survey completed by Ford dealers, area managers, and remarketing staff. The Golden Gavel Award is presented to the auction with the highest survey ranking in the nation for Ford Factory and Ford Financial accounts. Four Manheim auctions were also recently honored by Enterprise Rent-A-Car with the company’s Auction Achievement Awards. The awards were given to Manheim’s Albuquerque Auto Auction in Albuquerque, NM; Florida Auto Auction of Orlando; Pensacola Auto Auction in Pensacola, FL; and the San Antonio Auto Auction in San Antonio.
