CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sonic Automotive, Inc. ("Sonic" or the "Company") (NYSE:SAH), a Fortune 500 Company and one of the nation's largest automotive retailers, today announced that its EchoPark Automotive business, offering a wide assortment of high quality, one to four-year old pre-owned vehicles, has been awarded a 2021 DealerRater Consumer Satisfaction Award, an annual recognition given to auto dealerships that deliver outstanding customer service as rated by online consumer reviews.
DealerRater, the world's leading car dealer review website, created the Consumer Satisfaction Award program to let online car shoppers instantly spot dealers that provide high-quality customer service. This award was given to EchoPark locations in Colorado (Thornton, Centennial, and Colorado Springs), North Carolina (Charlotte) and Texas (Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and New Braunfels).
"We couldn't be prouder of our teammates at EchoPark. This award acknowledges the strong relationship we have fostered with our guests and highlights how transparent and positive our interaction is with them, both in the digital and physical space. It is at the core of our business to offer our guests and teammates an experience that ultimately fulfills dreams, enriches lives and delivers happiness," said Jeff Dyke, President Sonic and EchoPark Automotive.

"DealerRater's extensive review database allows shoppers to identify dealerships that provide excellent customer experiences and are at the forefront of their business, and it's clear that EchoPark Automotive stands out amongst its peers."
Consumer Satisfaction Awards are reserved for the top 10 percent of U.S. new-car dealers based on their PowerScore™, as well as top independent and Canadian dealerships that receive at least 25 annual reviews and maintain a minimum average PowerScore™ rating of 4.0 out of 5.0. The PowerScore™ is determined using a Bayesian algorithm that factors the dealership's average DealerRater consumer rating and the total number of reviews written about the dealership during the 2020 calendar year.
