According to details shared with Auto Remarketing this week, five operations have received accolades for 2018 performance through the Ford Auction Service Award Program (ASAP).

The Ford ASAP is a competitive, performance-based program that monitors and rates Ford-sponsored auctions on their operational efficiency of Ford-owned vehicles throughout every step of the auction process. These steps include transportation management, condition reports, work order processing, reconditioning and repair services and the sale of the vehicle.

Officials from KAR Auction Services reacted to ADESA Buffalo being picked as a two-time 2018 award winner.

“ADESA Buffalo employees have worked hard to create a customer-focused auction environment and we are so glad that the Ford Auction Service Award Program has taken notice and rewarded their efforts,” ADESA chief commercial officer Paul Lips said.

“We continue to build strong, trusting remarketing partnerships with our customers and our relationship with Ford is no exception,” Lips continued. “In fact, Ford auction sales have been a constant at ADESA Buffalo since the location opened its doors in 1992 and we look forward to many more successful sales years ahead.”

ADESA Buffalo has been honored with various Ford ASAP awards in recent years including Open Sale winner in 2017 and Closed Sale winner in 2017, 2015 and 2014.
