Australia has rewarded its leading dealers for boosting customer service
across all areas in its inaugural Alfa Romeo Dealer of the Year Awards.
Alfa Romeo returned to Australia nine years ago and established an all-new
dealer group dedicated to offering a new level of customer service to match
the new generation of Alfa Romeo cars that started with the Alfa Romeo
Sports car, the GTV and Spider, continued with the Alfa 156 and 147, and now
there is a whole new generation of Alfa Romeo models.
“The reason that we have waited nearly ten years to launch Dealer of the
Year Awards is not because we didn’t think our dealers were offering a high
quality of service,” says David Stone, General Manager for Alfa Romeo in
Australia. “Rather, we wanted to ensure that all our dealers were offering
industry best practice – which they do – and then challenge them to really
excel, which I am please to say that they have done! Looking at the category winners, what is clear is that no one dealer has
dominated all areas to take the over all price, we have a wide range of
dealers winning category awards from across the country,” says Mr Stone.
