CU DirectAuto Receives 2007 "Customer Satisfaction Award"

 

Los Angeles, CA - Southern California Auto Buying Service, CU DirectAuto, recently received an award coveted by many dealerships from the lead generation and marketing company, Auto Marketing Group.

 

"This is indeed a milestone in our growth", said Rick Case V.P. of Operations for CU DirectAuto. "We just make it our goal to reward all of our credit union partners and their members with our best practices as an auto buying service."

 

According to Garrett Zander of Auto Marketing Group, "each year we look through our list of approved dealers for the dealer that merits this achievement award."

 

"The criterion is simple: 1) Timely handling of credit union members' requests to purchase a vehicle, 2) locating the best price and terms for the member, 3) customer education in the auto buying process, 4) regular updates to the members' credit union, and 5) efficient delivery of their vehicle. Additionally, credit union members are polled and their responses are weighed heavily in the award consideration."

 

Echoing Mr. Zander's statement are comments by recent CU DirectAuto customer Martin Randenberg. "I really appreciate what CU DirectAuto has done for me.  They were extremely fast, reasonable, and the savings was fantastic!!"

 

Louise Brannon, V.P. of Business Development and an eight year CU DirectAuto veteran said, "I couldn't believe it at first when I heard we had won this award", she concluded, "Our team here works hard to give every credit union member a wonderful experience with us. Most say it is the best experience they ever had buying a car. This award is icing on the cake."
