We had a great compliment May 09 from a motoring journalist who really does have a voice both online and in hard copy media, on his own website...happy for us to place his quote here but remains unnamed as he has a relationship with a few brokers!
”DealDrivers are a broker to watch, as some of the less than sharp operators falter in a difficult market, they have shown themselves to be ahead of the rest by a long mile. Not only have they kept their heads in a fraught and aggressive market, maintaining every level of professionalism, they’ve avoided the less attractive aspects of broker deals in recent times which some of their competitors have been unable to resist. A neat package, nice process, and I’m pleased to see them busy. As manufacturers fight for market share, this is a good time to maybe recognise guys like these who deserve their survival and the work they do to assist franchised dealer sales in the right way. Oh, and I nearly neglected to mention, run by a female!..whatever next! ”
