Dealer Spotlight

Bob Strittmatter is the Stocking Analyst/Buyer of Driver's World and Checkered Flag Stores in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Bob starting using OPENLANE in 2010 and buys all types of inventory including off-lease, rental, fleet and repo.

“I am very impressed with the OPENLANE staff – Debb, Kwan and Scott have been a huge help. I have been placing more “make offer” type bids lately with a higher success rate thanks to their great efforts. In the past, I was not in the habit to place such bids but with Kwan and Scott doing what they do in a professional and speedy manner only encourages me to bid with confidence that they will get it done. They are prompt to get back with updates about the transaction – good and bad news. They are very valuable to me for the support they provide daily in order to reach the goals in place. Thanks guys! I'm looking forward to doing more business together!”
