Car Dealer Power is back for 2025 and this is your chance to celebrate the best suppliers and manufacturers in the automotive industry.
The annual Car Dealer Power survey returns after another action packed 12 months for the motor trade and we want to hear from you, the dealers.
This is YOUR opportunity to honour your favourite firms to do business with, as well as the best car manufacturers to partner with.
The survey is open now and will close on May 19. It only takes a few minutes to fill out, so get voting now!
Winners and highly commended placed firms will be named in 22 supplier categories, with the best car manufacturers to represent and the car of the year also being revealed.

Along with naming the best car manufacturer to represent and the car of the year, the industry’s best suppliers are also honoured.
From the best protection firms to finance providers, all sectors are covered and allow dealers to air their views on the best – and the worst.
The supplier categories are listed below and the winner of each receives a prestigious Car Dealer Power trophy.
