Time is rapidly running out for retailers are to have their chance of winning free Apple prizes by voting in Car Dealer Power 2026.
The window for nominations slams shut TOMORROW (Thurs) at MIDNIGHT, meaning dealers will have to move fast to their voices heard.
The clock is ticking so don’t miss out on being a part of one of the automotive industry’s most significant awards.
This year, for the first time ever, we are even offering the chance to win special prizes – all you have to do is fill in our quick and simple survey.
By letting us know your thoughts, you will automatically be entered into a draw where the first prize is an Apple Watch Series 11, with two runners-up winning Apple Airpods 4.
Every year, the Car Dealer Power survey recognises the best suppliers and carmakers in the industry. The gongs are voted for by YOU, the dealers.
Prizes will be dished out in 23 supplier categories, including our new ‘Trade Insurance’ prize, which will be presented for the very first time.
We will also be naming the best car manufacturers to represent, as well as the car of the year, but we cannot select the winners without your votes!
