Welcome to The WardsAuto Dealer 5 - we've put together important items from WardsAuto.com and across the Internet. So let's go:

1.

"I recently switched all 7 of my stores to Reynolds. Many people base their decision on price, but I did my own needs analysis focused on the product and the retail process and Reynolds and Reynolds blew the competition away.”

-Joe Laham, President of Premier Companies

3.

His life seems like a classic American Horatio Alger story. Dealer Raymond Ciccolo, who runs eight stores, says he got lucky.

4.

Engineered Environmental sounds like a nice company to sell vehicles to. A lot of dealers did do business with what turned out to be a dummy company that conned them.

5.

Are these really happy days for dealers? WardsAuto’s Steve Finlay joins Autoline TV show panelists to discuss that and more.
