CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CarGurus, a leading car shopping site in the U.S., is the recipient of two "Top Rated" Awards for New Car Leads and Used Car Advertising in the eighth annual DrivingSales Dealer Satisfaction Awards. The awards, presented at a special event on January 27th in conjunction with the 2017 National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Convention & Expo, are based on DrivingSales Vendor Ratings, which comprise 35,000 validated user reviews.
"CarGurus is honored to have won two Dealer Satisfaction Awards for car lead and advertising capabilities," said Langley Steinert, Founder and CEO of CarGurus. "From day one CarGurus has strived to be a transparent and valued resource for car dealerships and car shoppers alike, and we are proud that the value we provide to dealerships is being recognized. We want to thank our esteemed customers for sharing their feedback on DrivingSales and we hope to continue to deliver top-notch products in the years to come."
CarGurus provides dealers with a proprietary deal rating across their inventory that delivers trust and transparency for shoppers, yielding stronger quality leads and greater inventory exposure. Vehicle listings are ranked solely based on the vehicles' deal rating and the dealer's reputation, thereby helping shoppers find the best deals from top-rated dealers. In turn, CarGurus, which attracts more than 21 million monthly shoppers, sends dealers leads that are confident in their vehicle's pricing and ready-to-buy.
CarGurus will hold demos and dealer inventory analysis at Booth # 3801 during this year's National Automobile Dealer Association Convention & Expo being held from January 26-29 in New Orleans.
