The Mazda Dealer of Distinction awards were established in 1993 and aim to recognize the effectiveness of every Mazda dealership in Canada, based on several strict and measurable guidelines, and look at things like sales, service, administration, facilities and customer satisfaction. The winning dealerships will be honoured through advertisements in national industry publications, unique representation on the Mazda website and will be given a commemorative award to display. Plus, they get bragging rights.
“Each year we have continued to set the bar for the Dealer of Distinction award at a very high level, and we are extremely pleased to recognize these dealers on their achievement this year, says David Klan, senior director of sales, marketing and regional operations at Mazda Canada.
