"It was an unbelievable honor to receive this award for the second year in a row on behalf of Delphi," said Donnelly.

"Pronto members have developed a strong relationship with Delphi," said Bill Maggs, president, National Pronto Association. "Delphi offers our members the ability to sell great OE parts to their professional service customers and provides the latest in advanced diagnostic and service information to help our independent service dealers compete."

The National Pronto Association is a member owned group consisting of 49 owners with 91 distribution locations servicing parts stores and service dealers across North America. Delphi began its supply relationship with National Pronto in December 2002.
