CHARLOTTE, N.C. -

Bank of America recently announced its top 2010 auctions and Auto Remarketing learned the results.

Taking home honors as the 2010 Specialty Auction of the Year is Brasher’s Northwest Auto Auction.

Meanwhile, tapped as top auction of the year for the automotive category is Manheim Missouri.

"Bank of America truly values each and every relationship made throughout the years with our auction partners," said Jeannie Chiaromonte, vice president and national remarketing manager for Bank of America.

"It is difficult to name just one top Auto and Specialty Auction of the Year. However, when taking the key elements for both of us to be successful (marketing, customer service, sales, operations and reconditioning), the auctions chosen stand out on top of each category and go above and beyond our expectations. I do want to thank all our auction partners for their continuous hard work and support on behalf of Bank of America. Your success is our success," she added.

Nick Peluso, senior vice president of customer management at Manheim, said, “At Manheim, our goal is to make it easier for customers to do business with us while helping them better compete. We are extremely proud of our employees at Manheim Missouri for being recognized by Bank of America as 2010 Auction of the Year in the automotive category. I applaud the team at Manheim Missouri for this outstanding achievement and for showing Bank of America how much we value their business and partnership,” he added.

Over at Brasher’s Northwest AA, this award continues their tradition of ranking high with Bank of America, according to officials.

“It is a thrill for all of us at Brasher’s Northwest Auto Auction to be named the top auction in the country for Bank of America,” said Lisa Larkin, general manager. “Our dedication to superior service is more than just a slogan. We work hard to prove to our customers that our auction is their best choice for remarketing cars and trucks, RVs and specialty units. When those efforts differentiate us not only from other auctions in our area, but from all other auctions in the country with a customer like Bank of America, we know that our hard work is being recognized and bringing results on the auction block. “

Janelle Jones, a Bank of America auction representative, added, “Brasher’s Northwest Auto Auction has a cohesive team that truly cares and welcomes feedback. The auction is constantly looking for ways to improve the process for the seller and buyer. The sale executives every month without a hitch, draw buyers from all across the map.”
