February 12, 2010
Cobalt and Dealix Win Honors in All Four Categories Contested; More than Any Other Vendor
ORLANDO, FL
- The Cobalt Group, Inc., the leading provider of digital marketing solutions for the automotive industry,
today announced that the company has been awarded two "Top Rated" Vendor awards in the DrivingSales dealer
satisfaction survey. Cobalt, including its Dealix division, was rated by dealers as "Top Rated"
or "Highest Rated" in all four categories in which it participated - more than any other vendor
- a confirmation of the company's solution breadth and quality.
The 2009 DrivingSales Vendor Ratings Awards, presented at the 2010 NADA Convention and Expo, measure
satisfaction with vendors by allowing dealers to rate and review their vendors online at DrivingSales.com.
Only vendors who achieved top rankings in dealer satisfaction in each category, as determined by the thousands
of dealers who are part of the DrivingSales.com community, received awards.
"We are proud to present this award to Cobalt, which has achieved a standard of excellence that is
clearly resonating with dealers," said DrivingSales CEO and founder Jared Hamilton. "This year's
award winners have won recognition in one of the most challenging years on record for our industry. We salute
them for their ongoing commitment to provide value to their dealer clients."
"Cobalt is committed to innovation and advancing its digital automotive solutions, but more importantly,
we're dedicated to the success of our dealer customers," said John Holt, chairman and CEO of Cobalt.
"These awards are validation that our solutions are providing great value to our customers, and motivate
us to continue to work on their behalf to leverage the internet as a primary tool for growing their businesses."
