“In an industry that is increasingly competitive, it is a great honour for us, as an established and growing B.C.-based company to maintain this prestigious gold standard recognition over the past six years and it speaks volumes to the hard work and dedication of the entire OpenRoad team,” said Christian Chia, President and CEO of OpenRoad Auto Group.
OpenRoad Auto Group is the largest automotive dealership group in B.C., according to the company. They have more than 1,100 associates representing 18 automotive brands at 22 dealerships.
Trotman Auto Group, the owner and operator of nine dealerships in Canada, also received recognition from the 2018 Best Managed program. They were honoured for overall business performance and sustained growth.
