Pre-owned car dealer Friendly Auto Group will celebrate its 2009 quality dealer of the year award from the Tennessee Independent Automobile Dealers Association by mounting the award, a decorative guiter, on the wall of its Highway 58 location.
The award, which is voted on by other dealers, is given to recognize overall excellence, according to Darryl Noble, executive director for the trade group.
“What we look for are people who run an honest business, who have quality people working for them, sell a quality car at a fair price, who take care of their customers and perform community services,” Mr. Noble said.
The trade association says 500 independent dealers operate in the state, and encourages its member lots to operate honestly and fairly.
