DETROIT -

General Motors recently shared its list of 2012 Dealers of the Year, a group that included top-notch stores scattered throughout the U.S.

One of those winners was Jim Ellis Chevrolet, an Altanta dealership that celebrated its second year in a row earning this honor.

“It is rare for a dealership to win this award two years in a row because it is based mostly on year-over-year sales increases in all departments,” said Mark Frost, general manager for Jim Ellis Chevrolet.
