Top dealers from Fiat Chrysler NZ

Fiat Chrysler New Zealand has handed out its awards to the top dealers in the country for some of the best known car brands in the world, from Alfa Romeo to Jeep.

Auckland’s Andrew Simms dealership in Newmarket took out both Large Dealer of the Year Awards, taking home the trophy for both the best large Fiat Alfa Romeo dealer and the best Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealer.

Tauranga’s Farmer Autovillage took the prize for best small Alfa Romeo Fiat dealer and another trophy is heading to the South Island, with Dunedin’s Armstrong Prestige the nation’s best small Chrysler Jeep Dodge Dealer.

The Fiat Chrysler New Zealand dealer awards assess every Fiat Chrysler dealer throughout the year. Customers are surveyed and followed up through the ownership performance. Given the range of its brands across the market and different sizes of businesses, Fiat Chrysler New Zealand breaks up the awards up into award for its European brands, Fiat and Alfa Romeo, separate from the North American brands of Jeep, Chrysler and Dodge, as well as having separate awards for the large and small dealers.

“These three dealers may have collected the prizes for 2016, but there’ll be no resting on their laurels because the judging for 2017’s awards starts immediately and every dealer will be out to topple this year’s award winners,” says David Smitherman, chief executive officer of Fiat Chrysler New Zealand.
