Named “Quality Dealer in the State of Louisiana” by NIADA
Also Earns 2nd Runner Up for NIADA’s “National Quality
Dealer” at the 2017 Convention & Expo in Las Vegas
June 26, 2017: Lafayette, Louisiana – Don’s Automotive Group, a leading Louisiana auto dealer with more than 150
employees in four locations throughout the state, has just been awarded the
prestigious title of “State Quality Dealer”. The award was given by the NIADA
(National Independent Automobile Dealers Association) after much competition
and deliberation.
It was by
winning the Louisiana Independent Quality Dealer of the Year award that
resulted in Don’s winning that state’s nomination for the NIADA NQD (National
Quality Dealer) Award. Don’s earned 2nd runner up for this title.
The National
Quality Dealer Award Program began in 1976. Awarded annually at the national
convention, the coveted title is one of the most prestigious in the industry.
Award nominees are honored during a live broadcast of an honorary ceremony
where the National Quality Dealer of the Year is revealed. Nominees for the
award are selected annually on the state level for outstanding service to
his/her community and to the industry.
The NIADA
sent all nominated dealers a very detailed packet that was to be filled out
completely and returned to the group by the first of February. Included in the
packet was a very detailed Q&A about Donald, the owner of Don’s Automotive
Group, in addition to his biography, a biography of the company, and letters
from employees, pastors, DSAA, Trinity Outdoors, LCA, and other charities. Several
customer reviews and photos were included, in addition to photos of Don’s
facilities and some of the fundraisers the business has taken part in. Finally,
copies of the many awards received by Don’s were also included in the packet.
From all
packets that were submitted by the due date, the finalists were chosen, who
then were interviewed in Las Vegas on the day prior to the awards
ceremony.
