We’ve won Website Provider for Independent Dealers – for the NINTH year running!
Set off the confetti cannons and cue a victory lap or two around the office (yes, marketing team, we’re looking at you) because 67 Degrees has been voted Website Provider for Independent Dealers at the Car Dealer Power Awards 2026 – for the ninth consecutive year!
If you’ve been following our Shine for Nine campaign, you’ll know just how much this one means to us. And thanks to you – the dealers who took a few minutes to vote – we can finally say it out loud: we’ve officially shined for nine!
The Dealer Voted Award
Here’s what makes the Car Dealer Power awards so special: there’s no panel of judges and no complicated scoring sheet system. Instead, the winners are decided entirely by the people who actually use these products day in, day out – the dealers.
The survey opened back in April and closed in mid-June, with dealers given the opportunity to have their honest say about the suppliers and manufacturers they work with in the motor trade.
As Car Dealer editor-in-chief James Baggott put it, the awards are different because the winners are “chosen by the people who use these products and services every single day”. That kind of first-hand endorsement means so much to us.
Revealing the Win
The results were announced in a special video premiered on Tuesday, 14th July, via the Car Dealer YouTube channel, hosted by the magazine’s editor-in-chief James Baggott and associate editor James Batchelor.
Winners were crowned across 27 categories, ranging from Dealer Management System to the coveted Car of the Year award. We’re beyond proud to have kept our name on the Website Provider for Independent Dealers trophy for a record ninth year!
Introducing the category, James Batchelor said:
“For independent retailers, a website is often the most important salesperson in the business. It needs to attract customers, showcase stock, and convert enquiries around the clock.
“Taking the title for 2026 is a company dealers praise for its creativity, performance, and customer service. The winner of the website provider for independent dealers award for 2026 is 67 Degrees.”
Accepting the award was our very own Lauren Ambrose, operations manager here at 67 Degrees, who expressed her huge excitement at the win. She said:
“We couldn’t be happier! We are so thankful to everyone who voted for us – we’re just over the moon, to be honest.
“It’s a testament to our team and all the hard work they put in every single day. For us, it’s genuinely about the partnerships with our customers. We like to refer to them as our partners because we are in it together with them.
“It’s an ever-changing market, so that’s something we’re used to, but we ensure we remain on top of the demand. We listen, we react to the trends, and we are truly agile as well. In that regard, we have the ability to pivot and make decisions for the sake of our customers.
“That leads us to our performance-based mindset. Everything we do has to have an output, has to have an outcome. This is why we listen to our customers’ feedback, as that helps us evolve and grow as a business.”
Celebrating Nine Years of Winning
We’re really starting to pinch ourselves at winning a Car Dealer Power award for nine consecutive years. Our latest achievement means we are one of the most successful suppliers in Car Dealer Power history.
Every single member of the 67 Degrees team has worked exceptionally hard this past year: designing, building, tweaking, and occasionally staying up far too late perfecting our platform. So, winning nine website awards in a row is a proper team effort.
And this year feels extra special to us because 2026 marks our 10th anniversary. That’s right! A decade of building websites and digital marketing campaigns that genuinely help car dealers sell more cars.
For us, it’s a milestone that coincides with a world-class Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 88, with more than 85% of clients rating us a 9 or 10 out of 10 earlier this year. While it’s a different measurement of success, it’s still the same underlying message.
When associate editor James Batchelor from Car Dealer Magazine announced this year’s win, he shared that dealers taking part in the Power survey had praised our creativity, performance, and customer service. That’s music to our ears!
We’re here to build websites that work as hard as you do. That’s the 67 Degrees difference.

This win belongs to every dealer who took the time to vote, every client who trusts us with their online presence, and every member of our team who puts their heart and soul into what they do.
