Classic Chevrolet is No. 1 again. And as such, it’s planning a classic celebration.

The dealership in Grapevine, Texas, announced it has been recognized as the world’s top-selling Chevrolet dealership by the manufacturer for the third consecutive year and 12th time overall, an achievement it will commemorate with a championship parade and trophy presentation on Thursday.

The event is open to the public.

“Being named the No. 1 Chevrolet dealership in the world again is something we don’t take for granted,” owner Tom Durant said. “This is the result of a team that shows up every day focused on doing things the right way for our customers. We’re proud to celebrate it with the people who made it possible.”

The event will feature a parade of vehicles and a celebration honoring dealership employees and the community that has supported Classic Chevrolet’s continued success, the dealership said. The trophy will be presented to the dealership’s leadership team by Chevrolet Global vice president Scott Bell.

Florida Audi store earns another Elite designation

A Florida dealership has again earned an elite distinction.

Audi Wesley Chapel in Wesley Chapel, Fla., has been named to the Magna Society Elite by Audi of America, a group of fewer than 20 top-performing dealerships nationwide.

The award recognizes fewer than 20 Audi dealerships in the United States each year that exceed expectations across all facets of the business, including sales performance, customer experience, service excellence and operational effectiveness.

It’s the third time Audi Wesley Chapel, owned by Clearwater. Fla.-based Dimmitt Automotive Group, has earned the Magna Society Elite designation. It has received Audi’s Magna Society award every year since it opened in 2018, which the dealership said illustrates its consistent commitment to excellence and customer-first philosophy.

In a news release Audi Wesley Chapel cited its “tenured team of associates” and a digital sales process that emphasizes speed, transparency and a largely paperless experience for customers, as drivers of its success.

“We are incredibly honored to receive the Magna Society Elite award once again,” general manager Michael Cronk said. “This recognition is a direct reflection of the dedication, professionalism and passion of our entire team.

“From sales to service, our associates are committed to delivering an exceptional and transparent experience for every client who walks through our doors or engages with us online. We’re proud to represent the Audi brand at the highest level.”
