LOS ANGELES -

Late last week, Westlake Financial Services revealed its top auctions for the first quarter and many came out as repeat winners.

The choices for top overall auctions went to Manheim Nevada, Norwalk Auto Auction and Brasher’s Salt Lake City Auto Auction.

Westlake again tapped ABC Birmingham as its top service auction, while keeping Dealers Auto Auction of Idaho as the honoree with the top loyalty program.

“Westlake is proud to recognize the accomplishments of these auctions for Q1,” stated Bill Walters, Westlake’s vice president of remarketing. “Our ranking is based on a variety of sale- and service-related metrics with considerable input from our Westlake auction representatives.

“Overall, we are seeing a strengthening of resale values in the Western states as evidenced by the top three overall auctions,” Walters interjected

Michael Pavlin, senior vice president of operations at Westlake, added, “We are proud to recognize the efforts of all our auction partners, with a special acknowledgement to the top auctions listed here. We ended Q1 on a great note and are starting the year off with a bang.”
