LONDON – October 28, 2010: Autoquake.com, the UK’s leading online used car supermarket, has been voted a Highly Approved Trader (HAT) by members of the public on the Honest John website.

Motorists from all over the country were invited to choose their favourite service providers from a short-list published on www.honestjohn.co.uk. Just eight companies met the HAT Standard.

“We’re delighted to receive this recognition from Honest John,” said Autoquake.com’s CEO, Dermot Halpin. “Everyone at Autoquake is particularly pleased to meet the HAT Standard as it has been voted for by the driving public.”

The seal of approval from Honest John isn’t the only recognition Autoquake has enjoyed this week. In the Autotrader Click Awards 2010, which reward best practice in motoring websites, Autoquake.com has been ranked in the top three car supermarkets across every category assessed.

Praise from Honest John and Autotrader follows Autoquake’s inclusion in The Guardian’s list of Top 100 Tech Media Innovators in September. This summer Autoquake was listed in the AlwaysOn Global 250, which named the world’s leading private companies in on-demand computing, digital media and entertainment, and green technology.

Autoquake.com was named Best Car Supermarket Website of the Year at the Auto Trader Click Awards 2009. Other recent awards include the AM Best Dealer Website 2009, Fleet World 2009 Internet Honour, Business Car Best Remarketing System 2009 and a Hitwise Top 10 Website award for January – June 2010.
