NextGear Capital, a Cox Automotive brand, presented the fifth annual Auction Partners Awards at the 2017 National Automobile Auction Association (NAAA) Used Car Week Convention in La Quinta, California. The Nov. 15 event honored independently owned auto auctions for their efforts to grow and support the industry and their communities.

This year, three auction partners were recognized with an Operational Excellence Award, reflecting their efficiency, sales retention, operational performance and responsiveness to NextGear Capital.
