Our goal was not to win any awards, but knowing that our efforts are paying off feels good.”
The Most Improved Dealer of the Year for 2015/ 2016 award was given to the dealer which demonstrated the highest overall improvement through out the year in all the areas of their dealership, included in the Dealer of The Year scoring criteria.
