Toyota dealers from across Ireland gathered in Dublin in early December for the annual Toyota Dealer of the Year Awards, writes Trish Whelan.
The Awards recognise the excellence achieved by Toyota Dealers and their staff.
This year Toyota Ireland introduced the Toyota Financial Services Dealer of the Year Award to reward the excellent service that has been provided since 2017.
Seven awards were presented on the night to five Toyota dealers for their achievements in sales, aftersales and financial services across a variety of categories.
The top prize, Toyota Dealer of the Year is presented to the dealer who achieves the best overall performance across a wide range of areas, including sales and aftersales. This year, it was awarded to Toyota Liffey Valley which received a cheque for €5,000 which will be used to reward the staff for their achievement.
Toyota Accessory Sales Dealer of the Year 2019 went to Grandon Car Sales in Cork; the Toyota Volume Retailer of the Year gong went to Toyota Liffey Valley in Dublin; Toyota Parts Dealer of the Year 2019 went to Tadg Riordan Motors in Ashbourne, Meath; the brand’s Sales Dealer of the Year went to Grandon Car Sales, Cork; the After Sales Dealer of the Year went to Toyota Sandyford in Dublin; the Financial Services Dealer of the Year 2019 was won by Lehane Motors, Cork.
Steve Tormey, Chief Executive of Toyota Ireland commented: We are proud to host these awards on an annual basis and place the upmost importance on recognising achievements in sales, after sales and customer satisfaction throughout the dealer network. Toyota prides itself on providing the best for our customers, from the products we sell to the aftersales service that customers receive."
