“We are proud of our relationships with a number of key consignors which help to keep SmartAuction fresh, and we’ve added links to transportation providers, vehicle history reports and valuation guides to enhance the dealer experience. It’s an honor to be recognized by Auto Dealer Monthly for these efforts,” Kapusta added.
