IRVINE, Calif. -

Consumer Portfolio Services is quite impressed with performances by independent auctions.

In fact, independent auctions swept all categories, as the subprime auto finance company announced its 2020 Auction Award recipients.

Three of the four accolades went to Rawls Auto Auction, which earned honors in all three categories for the large CPS volume auctions.

Rawls has earned the CPS Heavy Hammer Award in consecutive years and its second CPS Top Gun Award in the past three years.

The finance company said DAA Seattle continued its impressive commitment to client satisfaction in 2020, backing up its 2019 CPS Top Gun Award for auctions with a lesser volume of CPS vehicles.

“In an extremely challenging year, all of our auction partners went above and beyond normal standards to facilitate a well-balanced approach to provide a channel to reintroduce our repossessed collateral into the marketplace,” CPS remarketing manager Mike Scott said in a news release. “In a difficult time, our auction partners faced adversity at every turn, but met that challenge with a mantra of quitting not being an option.

“While we are honoring two auctions for their achievements, we would like to thank all our 2020 auction partners for their efforts. The success of our remarketing program is a direct correlation to our auction partners,” Scott continued.
