Message from Steve:

After a long winter that saw record cold temperatures and plenty of snow, it’s good to know the official start of spring is right around the corner. March has traditionally been a very strong month for the company. Last year, we posted record sales in March – and we’re hoping that this year the month will be even better.

In addition to warmer weather and an uptick in sales, spring marks the height of the automotive industry’s award season. Manufacturers are in the process of identifying the best dealerships in the nation, and I’m pleased to report that a number of our stores already have been recognized for their excellence.

Since many manufacturers have yet to release winner information, we will wait until next month’s newsletter to feature our many great dealerships that receive industry awards. It is an important goal of the company to be consistently recognized as among the best in the business – and that means earning the praise of every manufacturer whose models we sell and service. Congratulations to the teams that have already been notified of their awards, and I look forward to sharing a full list of recipients in next month’s issue.

Speaking of next month’s newsletter, we’re pleased that we will be unveiling a newly redesigned Your Inside Track in April. By updating the look and functionality of the newsletter, we’ll be able to share important company information in an even more user-friendly format. I hope you’ll let me know what you think of the redesign when it launches next month.

In the meantime, please take the time to review the great content in this month’s issue of Your Inside Track. Among other items, we’re introducing four exceptional people who have received $2,500 scholarships as part of The Next Mile program and are sharing some of the great work our colleagues are doing in the community.
