February 3, 2012 (Burlington, VT) – Dealer.com, the global leader in online marketing solutions for the automotive industry, proudly received the “Highest Rated – Mobile Sites” award in the third annual DrivingSales Dealer Satisfaction Awards. The awards are determined by thousands of auto dealers who are part of the DrivingSales.com community.
“We are truly honored that dealers have ranked MobileSites as the top in the category and appreciate the recognition by DrivingSales,” said Mark Bonfigli, CEO of Dealer.com. “At Dealer.com, our goal is to bring the best and most influential solutions to our dealer customers to help them grow their brand and their business.
