EUGENE, OR - Brasher’s Northwest Auto Auction has once again been named the leading auction in its region for ARI, and on Wednesday, June 6 was presented with ARI - Automotive Resources Internaional Auction of the Year Award. Making the presentation at the auction in Eugene, Oregon was ARI representative Jim Jackson.

“We value ARI as an important customer and auction partner here at Brasher’s Northwest Auto Auction and were very excited to learn that we led our region for ARI again in 2011,” said Lisa Larkin, general manager at Brasher’s Northwest Auto Auction.  “Our auction team works very hard to produce the best results possible for ARI week in and week out, and we appreciate this recognition of our efforts on behalf of ARI in this region."

Brasher’s Northwest Auto Auction is a seven-time winner of ARI’s Auction of the Year award. The 2011 award marks the third consecutive year that the auction has led the region for ARI. 

ARI, a leading global fleet services provider specializing in complex car and truck fleets, instituted its annual auction award program in 1999.  Each auction is measured on overall market performance, administration and communication. Benchmarking includes days to pick up, complete condition report, days to sell and receive funds, as well as retention against Black Book Commercial Index and compliance with company guidelines.

“It’s with great pleasure that I present the 2011 Regional Auction of the Year Award to Brasher’s Northwest Auto Auction,” said Jim Jackson in presenting the award. “This auction has distinguished itself as a consistent leader in this market for ARI, providing exceptional service year after year.  We congratulate Lisa Larkin and her staff for a job well done for ARI, for the third year in a row.   With seven of these awards to their credit, they have earned a reputation for excellence among ARI’s customers.”
