Westlake Announces 2013 Auction of the Year

LOS ANGELES - Feb. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- Westlake Financial Services announces Kansas City Independent Auto Auction as the 2013 Auction of the Year.  The second and third ranked auctions include Adesa Phoenix and Adesa San Antonio, and the top service auction is Adesa Colorado Springs.

“Kansas City Independent has been a reliable performer throughout the year, topping our rankings for the second, third and fourth quarters,” stated Bill Walters, VP of Westlake Remarketing.  “Assistant General Manager, Jennifer Leocardi, has been an integral part of assuring top notch customer service and efficient operations.”

Westlake’s top auctions are chosen by narrowing the top 24 volume sales across the U.S.  After that the auctions are evaluated based on scorecards that measure their sales effectiveness and service quality.  Kansas City Independent Auto Auction has proven effective in these areas.
