SANTA MONICA, Calif. -

Did your franchised dealership perform particularly well with customers on Edmunds.com? If so, your store’s name might have made the cut for the second annual Five Star Dealer Awards. Edmunds.com is honoring a group of more than 250 dealers who have earned a five-star rating on the site’s Dealer Ratings and Review page.

A total of 259 franchise dealerships won this year’s award, which is given annually to dealerships who have earned a five-star rating on Edmunds.com’s Dealer Ratings and Review page.

 “The Edmunds.com Five Star Dealer Award is truly special because the judges are the people that matter the most: everyday car shoppers,” says Edmunds.com president Seth Berkowitz. “And with almost 18,000 new-car franchises across the country, these 259 winners essentially represent the top 1 percent of all dealerships. This is an extraordinary honor that recognizes the dealers that deliver the finest customer service day in and day out.”

The 2014 Five Star Dealer Award winners are located in 51 U.S. metropolitan markets, with the New York Market taking home the most awards, with 32 dealerships making the list.

The Empire State was followed by Chicago, with 28 winners, and Los Angeles with 25 winners.

To be eligible for the award, a dealership must be an Edmunds.com Promise Partner dealer and must have earned an average customer review rating that rounds up to five stars on Edmunds.com — with a minimum of 20 reviews during the previous two years — as of Dec. 31, 2013, site officials explained.
